Come Find Me by Megan Miranda


 Wow, this is a fantastic thriller.  A bit of psychic/ghostly intervention or is it?  And two teens team up to find out what is going on.  Did her brother really kill their mom and step father and did a different brother run away or meet up with worse?  It's a seriously good read.

Teen Idol by Meg Cabot


I'm fan of Meg Cabot but this book didn't work.  The characters seemed a bit vapid and the plot was soft.  Having said that, it's fine and innocent.  It would be okay for high school students.

Worthy by Donna Cooner



The best part is the Linden works at a library and does a great job.  I wasn't really impressed with the story.  It still is fine for teens to read.

Amelia Westlake Was Never Here by Erin Gough


It's all right.  There are some clever bits.  However, I wouldn't get the book for my high school library.  I thought part of the problem was how the students tried to solve the problems.  A coach who sexually harasses girls, should be reported and if one adult doesn't listen then go to a different adult.  I am pass on this book for my school library.  I would say if you are considering it, read it to make sure it will fit your library.

A great murder mystery story.  Lots of secrets in this town.  What happened to the missing girl.
Lots of surprises.  It's a good read.  I am going to get for the library.

This is a thriller, and reminds me of the Scream movie series. It's a good murder mystery thriller and I would add this to the library.  Enjoy.

Aru Shah And The Tree of Wishes by Roshani Chokshi


It's a good series and will fit nicely in any middle school library.  If you like Percy Jackson series, add this to your reading list.  It's a good read.  Enjoy.

One For The Murphys by Lynda Mullaly Hunt


A great book to add to any middle school library.  A raw book in the sense of a young girl, filled with pain and disappointment in a parent that she had trusted.  Her mom has remarried and the step-father is abusive.  Carly and her mom end up in a hospital, which leads her going to a foster home.  The foster mom is one of the kindest people as problems and anger keep being expressed.  It's a good read.

Little Universes by Heather Demetrios


Two sisters, one who is adopted, lose their parents to a tsunami wave when their parents were on vacation.  How they deal with grief are very different.  One on drugs and the other tries to help her.  This is one intense book.  Lots of out of control problems.  I don't think I would put this in my high school library.  But it is a good YA read.

Spellhacker by M. K. England

I liked the book.  The story line is two of the teens have parents that died from what ever virus has happened.  As they are set up when they take a job, their lives are in peril.  It's a suspenseful book. The audio book also good.
