And most importantly, they\u2019re planning a \u201Cfield trip\u201D to see a Patriots game.\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u201CFor a 22-year-old, I think he\u2019s got a great maturity,\u201D said [book club member Kathy] Rackley as she watched Mitchell captivate third-graders \u2014 not with his football exploits, but his message about the importance of reading.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u201CHe\u2019s got a great depth,\u201D added another book club member, Danna Whaley.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Since joining the club, Mitchell has gone on to write his own children\u2019s book, \u201CThe Magician\u2019s Hat.\u201D In a partnership with the nonprofit foundation Mitchell has begun, Books for Keeps will distribute copies of the book to every Clarke County first-grader this year. The children got their books for free, but he also sold some copies to the adults there, who lined up to have Mitchell sign the books they\u2019d bought.\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What are the odds Gronk signs up?\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
