Everyone at Creekview has read Stephenie’s books from the Twilight series: Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse. But have you heard about her new book coming out in May, 2008? It’s a new genre for Stephenie. She’s moving from gothic romance to what she calls “science fiction for people who don’t like science fiction” with her new book, The Host. Don’t worry, vampire fans, Stephenie has two books in the works in the Twilight series, with Breaking Dawn expected in fall, 2008 and Midnight Sun coming out sometime after that.

The Return of Trivia

Vodpod videos no longer available.

Bibliophiles and other members of the intelligentsia gathered in the Unquiet Library today to match wits against each other in the second round of Grizzly Trivia. While all teams provided some amazing answers, there had to emerge a winner in each lunch group. The fourth period winners were The Blue Goats, consisting of Brett, Justin, Jake, and Sky. Team Guee, Requiem, The Plethora of Plebian Pineapples, The Mind Freaks, and last month’s winners, Ricky Bobby, were edged out. In fifth period lunch, The Ragin’ Cajuns were victorious, with team members Josh, Allen, Justin, Nathan, Thanos, and Zack narrowly destroying The Haminators and The Sassy Six. In sixth period lunch, Team Whatchaka-Wi-Woo was dealt a narrow defeat by Team X-Treme, composed of Kristen, Kinley, Kayla, Laura, Kuwanda, and Trianna. This month’s winners will be treated to a pizza party during their lunch period on November 5! Trivia lovers take note: we will be hosting our first afternoon trivia on Monday, November 5. There will be three rounds, at 4PM, 5PM, and 6PM. Students, parents, and staff are invited to attend. Please sign up in the media center as soon as possible if you plan to participate.
