Lemonade Mouth

Lemonade Mouth

Did you catch the premiere of Lemonade Mouth on the Disney Channel last night?  If you’re a fan, did you know that Lemonade Mouth was originally a book written by Mark Peter Hughes?  Click here to find it in the Library, and check it out to see how it compares to the movie. 

Lemonade Mouth Book If you missed the premiere, Lemonade Mouth is about five random freshmen who meet in detention and end up forming a band.  In the book, the band’s story is told through alternating chapters by each band member.  As they start to make music together and get attention that goes beyond their high school, the band mates also have to deal with some typical and not so typical life drama.

You still have a chance to watch Lemonade Mouth on the Disney Channel.  Click here to find out when it is airing next.

Also, you can check out the DVD of the movie at the Library when it is release on 5/24/11.  Click here to find it in our catalog.

The E.N.D. reviewed by Urszula

Black Eyed Peas The E.N.D.I really like the new Black Eyed Peas album The E.N.D. My favorite songs are I Gotta Feeling and Boom Boom Pow. The music is very rhythmic and easy to dance to. I highly recommend this album.
