Friends of the Library Annual Fall Book Sale This Saturday

Most Popular Children's Fiction: The Serpents Shadow by Rick Riordan. Despite their best efforts, Carter and Sade Kane can't seem to keep Apophis, the chaos snake, down. Their only hope: find an ancient spell that might turn the serpent's own shadow into a weapon.
