I had some problems with audio working on other gloster posters so below is the script for this booktalk.

"Tuesdays at Glower Castle are anything but ordinary.  Whenever the castle gets bored, it adds rooms and changes passageways.  The only person that has taken the time to get to know the castle is Princess Celia.  She has taken the time to document the room changes and has created maps to help her know where rooms may have moved to.  When Celia’s oldest brother graduates from the College of Wizardry, her parents go missing on the journey.  In order to help the children rule the after the death of their parents, council from neighboring kingdoms come to stay at Glower Castle.  However, the children and the castle seem to know that this is not a good idea and still believe that the king is still alive.  It is up to the children to prove that their parents are still alive and keep the castle from being overtaken by neighboring kingdoms.  Find out more in “Tuesdays at the Castle” by Jessica Day George."

"Are you looking for an adventure book that will leave you asking for more?  Pick up Theodosia and the Serpents of Chaos.  In historical London, Theodosia’s father is the head curator at the Museum of Legends and Antiquities, while her mother spends her time searching the pyramids of ancient Egypt for items for the museum.  Theodosia is a clever eleven year old with the ability to see the ancient curses placed on the various artifacts that her mother sends back to the museum.  Theo has taken upon herself to nullify the curses before the museum is overtaken by them.  When Theodosia’s mother brings home The Heart of Egypt, she realizes that this item is horribly cursed but her mother locks it away before she can rid the item of the curses.  Soon Theo is running through the streets of London and hiding away aboard a ship to return The Heart of Egypt back to its rightful resting ground.  This book is full of adventure and secrets.  Run to grab it before someone else checks it out of the library."


5) Booktalk of "Are You There God? It's Me Margaret."
