📚👻 Hey HSE Eagle Readers! 👻📚
Do you like ghosts? Then this Sunshine State book is for YOU!! 🌟
The Last Resort is a super fun (and just a little spooky!) story packed with mystery and ghosts. It follows Lila and her brother Caleb, who have to travel to Ohio to stay in their grandfather’s creepy old house 😱🏚️.
While they’re there, they meet a new friend, Teddy, and the three of them set out to solve a HUGE mystery…
💥 Lila and Caleb’s grandfather didn’t actually die of a heart attack…
👻 He appears to Lila as a ghost and tells her he was murdered!
Even crazier? Lila can see LOTS of ghosts—and she has to figure out how to stop them before they grow stronger and kill someone else!
Don’t worry if you’re not into super scary books—this one is more fun than frightening, but it does have some tense moments 👍
✨ Bonus: Pass the AR test and earn a black or white ghost charm! 👻⚫⚪
Come check it out and see if you can solve the mystery! 🔍📖 And if you like it, Mrs. Parrilli will order the sequels!
Today, Hobe Sound Elementary proudly joins our nation in celebrating 250 years of freedom, opportunity, and hope. As we honor this historic milestone, we reflect on the values that bring us together: kindness, courage, service, & community.
As families gather to celebrate, we wish everyone a safe, joyful, and memorable Independence Day holiday filled with laughter, gratitude, and time with loved ones. 🎆🎇
We also extend our deepest appreciation to the brave members of our Armed Forces, along with the many first responders and essential personnel, who continue to serve around the clock to protect our freedoms and keep America safe. Your sacrifice and dedication inspire us every day.
From our Hobe Sound Elementary family to yours, Happy Independence Day and Happy 250th Birthday, USA! 🦅🇺🇸❤️
🎉🦅 We are thrilled to share some BIG news with our Hobe Sound Elementary community.

📚✨ Another great read from the Sunshine State list! ✨📚
I just finished J vs. K and absolutely loved it! It’s funny, witty, and just so cool. 😄
What makes this book extra special is that it’s written by two amazing authors who actually poke fun at each other in real life—and that playful rivalry shows up in the story! Their characters are good storytellers, one with words and the other with pictures. And they are going head to head to will a contest. They are trying to out-do each other so some pranks and bad advice involved which makes things pretty funny! 🎨✍️
Authors Alexander and Craft are both incredible storytellers in their own way, and it’s so fun to see that dynamic come alive on the page. The rivalry, the humor, the creativity—it all comes together to make this such an entertaining read!
I’m adding links to their websites so you can learn more about them and explore their other books. And guess what—we have a lot of their titles at the HSE Library! 📖💙
I highly recommend this one if you’re looking for something fun and unique! The ever important charm? You can choose...do you like J or maybe K is better?
