War Horse by Michael Morpurgo

Rise by Anna Carey

From orphan teen to daughter of the king, Eve finds many different truths to face.  And must make life-changing choices.  An interesting read, was a little disappointed of the ending.  A little to neat and pat after all the build up of the story line.

Summer Jackson Grown Up by Teresa E. Harris

I Am George Washington by Grace Norwich

A easy book to read about the basic facts of George Washington

The Halloween Tree by Ray Bradbury

Very good read.  The book is well crafted and would be a good fun read aloud.  A group of boys dressed in costumes for Halloween meet a mysterious being that takes them through time and places and learn how different cultures remember the dead.

Cinderella Smith by Stephanie Barden

A Gift of Magic by Lois Duncan

The Sisters 8 book 9 by Lauren Baratz-Logsted

Heat Wave by Richard Castle

Junonia by Kevin Henkes

This is for younger grades.  It reminded me when I was collecting shells as a kid.  It's a coming of age story for young girls.  Do recommend it. But for younger grades.

The Devil and His Boy by Anthony Horowitz

Anthony Horowitz is successful of blending history, mystery and a good story.

Necropolis by Anthony Horowitz

It's a page turner!  The story continues.  I like the concept of the teens opening doors that are keyed to only them and it takes them to another part of the world.  Of course there are dangers at every turn.  Very smart book.

Quick as a Cricket by Audrey and Don Wood

Good for English lessons, great for children.  Enjoy!  Using art and words to make language arts lessons for all ages.

Good Night Gorilla by Peggy Rathmann

The pictures and story line is just plain fun.  You can use this with any age.  Teens can read this book to little ones.  Or study how art can convey a story line with minimal words.  Smart, clever and engaging all the way around.

Armando and the Blue Tarp School by Fine, Josephson and Sosa

This book is based on a true school for a community that didn't have a school.  Worth being in in library. I used this book when I was subbing a Spanish class.

Hooper Finds A Family by Jane Paley

This is based on a true dog story with some imagination of what could have happened while the dog was struggling through Hurricane Katrina.  It's told in the view point of the dog.  It's a good book for teens to read to younger children.  Best serves a elementary school.

Ender's Shadow by Orson Scott Card

Orson Scott Card writes amazing stories.  They are scary stories because they are so smart! The monsters aren't out there in the universe, they are right here on earth/star fleet.

If I were to have a dinner party and could invite authors, Orson Scott Card and Anthony Horowitz would be on the top of the list.

Starring Jules (As Herself) by Beth Ain

I had gotten an Advanced Reader.  It's cute and quirky.  Not for teens but great to have for an elementary library.

Perfect: A Pretty Little Liars Novel by Sara Shepard

Perhaps the series should be called Petty Little Liars.  A group of girls who have known each other since elementary and middle school are now in high school.  Some flash backs.  A murder has taken place back in middle school and the girl's body has finally been found.  Intrigue, mystery and each girl has her own story.  A delicious book of who is the "All Knowing A?"

NightRise by Anthony Horowitz

This is book three and I've already started book four.  Takes you in a different direction then the first two.  But worth the read.  A page turner.

The Switch by Anthony Horowitz

Horowitz embeds humor with in these pages.  Found some puns/word play and was tickled.  It's a fun page turner.  Good for any young library.

Heroes and Villains by Anthony Horowitz

This is part of the Legends Series.  There is humor tucked within the stories.  A fun read and visiting different global cultures.
