As You Wish by Chelsea Sedoti

Heads up there's a few f-bombs.  It's an interesting book.  I don't think it will be mainstream but I do think it will appeal teens who have a bit of a rebel streak in them.  It's a good read.

I was looking forward to book 3 since I loved the first two books.  I don't know.  I really couldn't get into this story as much.  It's alright. I was a little disappointed

Winterhouse by Ben Guterson

It's a great book.  Think Harry Potter at a hotel with limited magic.  It's a good read and great for any school library in elementary and middle school.

Orphan Island by Laurel Snyder

There is a mystery about this story.  How did the children get special clothes and books.  They live on an island that should do no harm.  Where are these children coming from and where are they going.  There are no adults on this island.  Not my favorite story.  I would pass on this one.

It's okay.  Fine for middle school libraries.  It was a basic story about immigrants stories coming through Ellis Island and trying to survive.

Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand

This books stays with me still and I read it a few months ago.  The shark attacks are so vivid.  It feels like you are on the life raft.  This book is well written.  It would be fine to add to high school libraries as well.
