Get ready for May 16! We will be reading Delilah S. Dawson's hilarious
Kill the Farm Boy. Once upon a time, in a faraway kingdom, a hero, the Chosen One, was
born...and so begins every fairy tale ever told. This is not that fairy
tale. There is a Chosen One, but he is unlike any One who has ever been
Chosened. And there is a faraway kingdom, but you have never been to a
magical world quite like the land of Pell. There, a plucky farm boy will
find more than he's bargained for on his quest to awaken the sleeping
princess in her cursed tower. First there's the Dark Lord who wishes for
the boy's untimely death...and also very fine cheese. Then there's a
bard without a song in her heart but with a very adorable and fuzzy
tail, an assassin who fears not the night but is terrified of chickens,
and a mighty fighter more frightened of her sword than of her chain-mail
bikini. This journey will lead to sinister umlauts, a trash-talking
goat, the Dread Necromancer Steve, and a strange and wondrous journey to
the most peculiar "happily ever after" that ever once-upon-a-timed. Click
