Al Roker’s Book Club on NBC’s Today Show has picked Patrick Carman’s 39 Clues: The Black Circle for their next read!

Thanks to all the fans who sent birthday wishes to Percy! His birthday in the last book is given as August 18. I’m sure Percy enjoyed some blue cake and a good time with his friends at Camp Half-Blood.

Rick will sign at Barnes & Noble in Brentwood, TN, Saturday, Aug. 29 to wrap up the B&N Summer Reading program. Check with the store for more details.

The Black Circle by Patrick Carman will be published Tuesday, August 11. The full cover will not be revealed until pub day, when you discover the destination for Amy and Dan’s new adventure. Check it out!
