In honor of April Fools’ Day, I give you A Fools' Challenge:

Which role would you like to play in this week’s practical jokes?
The Joker: Read a book that features a Joker or playing cards on the cover
The Victim: Read a book about a character who is bullied
The By-stander: Read a book that features someone in the background on the cover
The Accomplice: Read a book about best friends
The Rescuer: Read a book about a character who rescues another or serves as a protector

Please, tell us which role you’ll be playing when you choose your book! Happy reading! :D
