The Orca team at Raise a Reader this morning. Left to right: Bob Tyrrell, Dayle Sutherland, Sarah MacNeill, Teresa Bubela, Melanie Jeffs, Christi Howes, and David Small.
It was cold and wet, but everyone had fun and most people were happy to donate to children’s literacy.

In Victoria, the leaves are starting to turn orange, and it’s getting just a bit colder. Fall is here… and so are a whole batch of new books! Browse the new releases on our website to see what’s hot off the presses.
This month’s featured author is Rachel Dunstan Muller. Her second book, Ten Thumb Sam, is new this month. Rachel told us about her fascination with magicians, and about how reader responses have changed the way she writes. Check it out.
Have you been watching Malone’s page? Orca’s favourite dog has been carefully making a list of her favourite books, and October’s Top Ten are Malone’s picks.
Authors are busy this month! Pat Skene made a great page about caves for our Readers section… and Monique Polak has a cool new website.
Guest Blogging is in full swing, too—you’ll see Darlene Ryan here next week, and Jacqueline Pearce and Anita Daher later in the month.
Whew, October is a busy month—and I haven’t even told you about the book launches yet! Keep checking this space to see the action unfold…
