Cornelia and the Audacious Escapades of the Somerset Sisters

by Lesley M.M. Blume

Eleven-year-old Cornelia is the daughter of two world-famous pianists—a legacy that
should feel fabulous, but instead feels just plain lonely. She surrounds herself with
dictionaries and other books to isolate herself from the outside world. But when a
glamorous neighbor named Virginia Somerset moves next door with her servant Patel
and a mischievous French bulldog named Mister Kinyatta, Cornelia discovers that the
world is a much more exciting place than she had originally thought.

Audio Book Pilot Program

Parents may soon notice fourth and fifth grade students bringing home audio books from our library. We will be doing a Pilot Program with these books to measure the students' interest level for these materials as well as any issues the library may run into. Audio Books are to be returned following the same criteria used for books and magazines.

The Library is an essential aspect of our school. It extends our curriculum into research and enrichment areas. Classes K-5 have weekly library sessions. Junior High will use the Library to acquire the materials for reading, work, special projects or assignments. There is a fine system of $.10 per book for all children. Fines accumulate each day, excluding weekends, holidays, and absentee days beginning the day the book is due. If the book is damaged or lost, the parent will be notified of the cost to replace it. If the book is later found, no refund will be given. A student will not be able to check out any books unless all previously checked out books are returned or paid for.
