The Black Witch Chronicles: The Black Witch by Laurie Forest

The audio book is great.  I like this fantasy book, first no sex but there is an attraction.  It immolates what is happening in the world today.  Leaders who have hidden agendas, persecution close to a holocaust just placed in a fantasy world rather then the real world.  Think Harry Potter meets the evening news and classes in history.  I'm getting this for the library.  Enjoy.

Reawakened: Recreated by Colleen Houck

Fine for any high school library.  It's an mythological fantasy adventure love story.  The audiobook is good also.  Enjoy.

The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame

It's a sweet story to enjoy.  A good read aloud to children.  The audio book is good.  Enjoy.  Animals that are created into human characters.

Beast by Brie Spangler

This is a brutally honest book.  No magic just reality.  It's hard enough fitting in to high school and this book addresses it.  What's more is Dylan finds out he falls in love with Jamie.  Then he finds out Jamie is a transgender.  Everyone's world changes in this book.  It's a good story and I'm glad the public library carries this book.  I listened to the audio book. 

A Madness so Discreet: by Mindy McGinnis

This is a great book and I would buy for my high school library.  Mindy McGinnis has a certain style of writing that works.  Her stories are twisted and gritty.  This is my third book by her.  It's an oppressive time for women in this story.  Grace comes from a wealthy well known family from Boston.  It turns out she is pregnant and it was her father her has created the situation.  There is also a serial murderer on the loose.  It's part murder mystery and all power struggle.  It's an intensely good read.

Lucky in Love by Kasie West

It's fine for any high school library. It's part romance and part family problems and finishing high school after winning the lottery.  Lot's of problems with people wanting money from Maddie who wins big.

Daughters of Mannerling: The Folly by M. C. Beaton

Enjoying M. C. Beaton's audio books while driving errands and cleaning house.  Not a murder mystery but a romance.

I am a fan of Alice Hoffman.  I had the chance to listen to the audio book.  It's a great read.  Maybe more for adults then for high school.  I loved the movie and you can see how the movie reworked the original story.  I would say read the book first.  Enjoy.

Nope, this story has been done before in better style.  Not for high school libraries.  I wanted to stop reading the story but forced myself to get to the end.  Save your m money and time on this one.

It's a good read.  The audio book is also enjoyable.  Especially read by Penelope Keith.  Enjoy.

Anna and the Swallow Man by Gavriel Savit

I'm not sure about this one.  It's written beautifully but there are some dangerous moments when Anna is forced to do some things naked that little girls shouldn't do.  I think I would skip it as a choice for the library but it is perfect for public libraries.  The story is for mature readers.  It's a hard read.  Keep in mind it's when there are both German and Soviet soldiers and the two main characters have to survive to live.

It's a good graphic novel that is set in the 1970's.  You'll see lots of 70's references.  It's fine for any middle school library.
