The Red Wheelbarrow
by William Carlos Williams
so much depends
upon
a red wheel
barrow
glazed with rain
water
beside the white
chickens.
The Fault in Our Stars (Hazel)
"And so much depends, I told Augustus, upon a blue sky cut open by the branches of the trees above. So much depends upon the transparent G-tube erupting from the gut of the blue-lipped boy. So much depends upon this observer of the universe.
Half conscious, he glanced over at me,and mumbled,"
"And you say you don't write poetry." " (Green 247)

Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library by Chris Grabenstein
Kyle Keeley is the class clown, popular with most kids, (if not the teachers), and an ardent fan of all games: board games, word games, and particularly video games. His hero, Luigi Lemoncello, the most notorious and creative gamemaker in the world, just so happens to be the genius behind the building of the new town library. Lucky Kyle wins a coveted spot to be one of the first 12 kids in the library for an overnight of fun, food, and games. But when morning comes, the doors remain locked. Kyle and the other winners must solve every clue and secret puzzle to find the hidden escape route. And the stakes are very high. www.googreads.com
*CHALLENGE- there is one puzzle that is in the book but not in the story.
Can you find and solve it? 6 students have figured it out so far!
Chris Grabenstein also co-authored I Funny, I Funnier, Treasure Hunters and House of Robots with James Patterson
