The Indiana Jones Handbook
This afternoon I was shopping in our local Barnes & Noble Booksellers to look over some titles for our "Walking through Time" exhibition when I stumbled across The Indiana Jones Handbook! I had looked forward to reading this title since I first heard of it a few months back and I was not disappointed. This is a terrific resource for Indy fans and a fascinating look inside the world of the good doctor. And, of course, there are “teachable moments” found here as well and I’m certain that we’ll be integrating portions of this “adventurer’s guide” into our lessons. For details about the book, visit StarWars.com and after that, I would head over to the Indiana Jones Store to order your copy today!
Scholastic's Junior Novelizations of Indy 1-3
Recently, my youngest son came home from school with his latest treasures from the Scholastic Book Fair: the junior novels for the first three Indiana Jones films! I don't know which of us was more excited (I played it off that he was). These are well-written adaptations of the original films and terrific "high interest books" for your 9-12 readers. They are also great to have on hand in your classroom for reluctant readers. To learn more, head over to StarWars.com
These titles are also available to purchase at the Indiana Jones Store.
