As a teacher-librarian, I have the opportunity to read young adult books to share with my students. The list that I have provided will have an overview of the book and personal comments. They are on a Book-mercial style image to get a taste of the essence of the book.

Flavia de Luce: A Red Herring Without Mustard by Alan Bradley
I just love how cheeky Flavia is and how she is smarter then any other 11 year old in Britain in the 50's.
This is a great series and set in 1950's in England. She's quirky. And it's a fun read. It's great book for public and private libraries. Serves serious readers who enjoy a good mystery. Would I buy it for my high school? Probably not because it's not a mainstream book. Would I encourage students to read the book? Certainly, if they love good mysteries and enjoy reading.
