"Something’s afoot! Can our heroes solve the mystery before the hound claims another victim?"

Aly Wepplo, Media and Digital Librarian, recommends Der Hund Von Baskerville (The Hound of the Baskervilles), a silent film directed by Richard Oswald.

I’m thrilled to be a part of The Liberty Theatre Company’s upcoming play, The Hound of the Baskervilles. It’s a modern adaptation of the classic Sherlock Holmes mystery, and it’s brought to life by just three actors – playing almost 20 parts.

The story is a classic of English literature. In it, Holmes and Watson investigate the legend of a supernatural hound who haunts the moors surrounding Baskerville Hall. Sir Charles, the hound’s most recent victim, died of a heart attack as he fled in terror from the beast.

Now Henry, Charles’ nephew, has come to carry on the family name. But something’s afoot in the sleepy village surrounding the Hall, and Henry’s life is clearly at risk. Can our heroes solve the mystery before the hound claims another victim..?

Hello! My name is Lexi. Some of my favorite activities are skiing, baking, crafting, and volleyball. I love reading great books and sharing my favorites with others. For my Book Beat review, I read The Manny Files by Christian Burch.

This book is a funny and sweet story about the life of Keats Dalinger (a 3rd grade boy.)

 

Keats has had many female nannies, all of whom enjoyed dressing up his sisters and painting their nails, but they were never really interested in Keats. Keats never connected with the nannies because they didn’t really care about him and all they ever gave him “was dental floss.” One day a new nanny shows up at Keats’s door, “except it was a man, a male nanny, a manny.”

Keats is thrilled about his new nanny and so are his sisters India (4th grade) and Belly (preschool), but not so much Keats’s 8th grade sister, Lulu. Over time, Lulu keeps a secret notebook of all the so-called immature things the manny does...
