Free Audio Books

If you love stories but are not into sitting down and reading, audiobooks may be the thing for you! Each summer, SYNC provides free audiobook downloads. Starting May 30, a young adult audiobook and a classic audiobook will be offered each week. You must download the titles during the week they are available, but once they’re downloaded you may keep them forever. You can sign up to receive text or email alerts when the new books become available. The SYNC website can be found here.

Books and Cookies – April

The book of the month is Saving CeeCee Honeycutt, by author Beth Hoffman. Join us on Thursday, May 2nd after school for cookies and a discussion over the book in the FCHS Library. Twelve-year-old CeeCee is in trouble. For years, she’s taken care of her mother, Camille, the town’s tiara-wearing, lipstick-smeared laughingstock, a woman who is trapped in her long-ago moment of glory as the 1951 Vidalia Onion Queen. When tragedy strikes, Tootie Caldwell, CeeCee’s long-lost great-aunt, comes to the rescue and whisks her away to Savannah. There, CeeCee is catapulted into a perfumed world of prosperity and Southern eccentricity — one that appears to be run entirely by strong, wacky women. Both hilarious and heartbreaking, Saving CeeCee Honeycutt charts the journey of an unforgettable girl who loses one mother, but finds many others in the storybook city of Savannah.
