Maze Runner...how did the movie stack up?



 Yesterday I finally had a chance to see The Maze Runner in the theater. Final verdict = blown away. You always go int the theater with a little worry that they changed it too much. To start...the maze was exactly how I pictured it...almost every detail. Then the character and movie choices...loves it. And of course, Newt was my favorite.

But the bottom line is that I am so happy that they made a boy centered book into a movie. Guys love Hunger Games and Divergent, but to have a character like Thomas who stands up for what he believes is right is awesome!

So now...who is ready for Scorch Trials??

Inspiring Message

For me, this week has been about inspiration...Richard Paul Evans, author of the Michael Vey series came and talked with our students about finding your super power. Today, someone sent this link to me about a football player who is proud to be a reader! Talk about inspiring! (http://www.cbsnews.com/videos/college-football-stars-novel-story/)
