I'm sure most of you already know about the newest Diary of a Wimpy Kid book set to be released in November, but for those of you who didn't already know, YAAHOO!!

I'm not going to give anything away, but the author promises to break new ground in his fifth book. This book also decides if they grow up or stay the same age throughout the series. The author states that in book five, Greg is "at the threshold of adolescence. By the end, I answer that question once and for all." This book also is said to decide if Greg and Rowley remain friends.

We should have it as soon as it comes out, but in the meantime, go ahead an check out the first four books to freshen up before it comes out.

Coming Soon: The Lost Hero

Is it even possible to ever get tired of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series? NO WAY!

For those of you who haven't heard yet, Rick Riordan is soon coming out with a spin-off series called The Heroes of the Olympus. The Lost Hero will feature a whole new cast of characters, but the series is still set in Percy Jackson's world and Riordan states that "Percy has an important role to play in the series." Riordan is planning for five Heroes of Olympus books to be in the series.

A Heroes of Olympus website was launched on June 1, and for those of you who'd like to read the first few chapters of the book online, the secret password is "newhero."

You can thank me later. :)
