The Overthrow Bloom By Kenneth Oppel
This is a page turner. A great weird mystery, danger and adventure and three teens who don't always like each other. Add this one to your library. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series. Enjoy.

I Hope You Get This Message by Farah Naz Rishi
You will either like this book or not. I'm in the middle. I found it interesting. The story line was good. It was dealing with various issues. A mother with mental health and a teen taking care of her. A boy who thinks another boy is cute and wants a relationship with him. Family issues, life issues are embedded in this story. Fine for high school libraries.

Unidentified Suburban Object by Mike Jung
I wasn't really wild about this book. I was hoping it would go one way but it went a completely different way. Not my favorite book at all.

The Illuminae Files Illuminae by Kaufman and Kristoff
Told in multiple ways, this book works. It helps to be a fan of Sci-Fi. Think Hal of Space 2001 meets Aliens. And a bit of a love triangle to boot. Fine for high school libraries.

Unearthed by Amie Kaufman & Megan Spooner
Think Indiana Jones series meets Star Wars series. It's a great adventure with lots of twists and turns. I'm getting this for my high school library. Two opposite characters forced to unite and work together to solve clues. Some baddies chasing after them. It's a good read. Enjoy.

Ready Player One Armada by Ernest Cline
I'm so getting this for my library. It's good. I'm in line for book 1 but this was available so I was able to hear the audiobook while still waiting for the first one. It's a good read. If you like Ender's Game, War Games and The Last Starfighter, this is for you to enjoy.

Landscape with Invisible Hand by M. T. Anderson
I have to confess this is not a mainstream story. I listened to the audiobook. It's rather quirky and will appeal to serious readers who like to read stories that are a bit unusual. It's an interesting read. I think fine for public libraries.
