Library Book Jumble
Each week throughout the summer, we will be adding a new book cover image to our Book Jumble board. Fill in the names of the authors and note which letters are circled. At the end of the six-week game, unscramble the circled letters to form a secret word. If you get the word right, you complete the mission and get a prize.
