“Doll Bones,” winner of a 2014 Newbery Honor Medal, is the next book on the Tween book group, according to Amanda Bennet of the library.

The book’s author is co-created of the Spiderwick Chronicles.

The Ada Marching Bulldogs began its 2014 competition in fine fashion on Sept. 20.  

After arriving at the school bright and early Saturday morning to march in the annual Harvest and Herb Festival parade and opening the crowning of the queen festivities, the band traveled to Louisville High School, near Akron, for the first competition performance of the season.
