Refugee by Alan Gratz

Refugees must face so much sacrifice and dangers to get to safety.  How many of us understand the dangers that force refugees to leave and then escaping to a safe place.  How many refugees have died to escape dangerous situations?  This book creates the story over several different decades and different parts of the world.  It's worth the read and I'm getting it for my library.  Audio book also good.

Merry Muffin Mystery: Muffin But Murder by Victoria Hamilton

Great audio book and great murder mystery.  Enjoy!

Agatha Raisin: Christmas Crumble M. C. Beaton

This is to funny.  It's a good read.  A short story.  You have got to love murder mysteries.  Enjoy.

The School for Good and Evil: Quest for Glory by Soman Chainani

It's a good listen and a good read.  The story continues and the characters are interestingly portrayed.
The book is fine for any school library.  Enjoy.

Wonder Woman: Warbringer by Leigh Bardugo

I grew up with Wonder Woman from the '80's.  I haven't seen the new movie yet.  I am a fan of Leigh Bardugo.  It's a good book.  Builds a good background story about Princess Diana of the Amazons.  The audio book works well also.  Enjoy.

Dunkirk: The History Behind the Major Motion Picture by Joshua Levine

I'm getting this for the library.  I listened to the audiobook and was well done.  I haven't seen the movie as of yet.  The book fills in lots of information and personal stories.  It's an important read.

The Daughters of Mannerling: The Romance By Marion Chesney/M. C. Beaton

I'm a fan of M. C. Beaton and regency romances.  Not for high school but if you have vacation time, it's entertaining.  The audio book is a good listen to while driving errands around town.

You Bring the Distant Near by Mitali Perkins

It's a good read.  It's a good listen on audiobook as well.  Travel through time in this story from 1965 to now.  I'm getting this for my high school.  Lots of issues from family dysfunction, figuring ones self and society.  This story stays with you long after you have finished it.  Enjoy.

Lockwood & Co: The Empty Grave by Jonathan Stroud

If you are a fan, this is the best book yet.  But of course you must have read the first four first.  The audio book is a delicious listen time.  Fine for any school library.

Lockwood & Co: The Creeping Shadow by Jonathan Stroud

This series should be in all middle and high school libraries.  It's Ghostbusters meed Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Gilmore Girls.  Great snappy dialogue and an engaging story line.  The audio books also give it a British air.  Enjoy.

Beren and Luthien by J. R. R. Tolkien

This is for die hard J R R Tolkien fans.  Fans of high fantasy.  It's a love story written beautifully and basically in old English style.  Not for high school libraries unless you have one really nerdy high school library patrons.  This is a book that must be read with loving appreciation of the old English style.  Take your time and enjoy, savoring each word.  For the serious readers.

The Perfect Stranger by Megan Miranda

This is a page turner and perfect for adult book clubs.  It's like riding a roller coaster in the dark.  Oh my goodness.  Not for high school libraries.   It's a thriller Is Leah crazy or is she sane?  It's a good read!

Dividing Eden by Joelle Charbonneau

Oh my this is one intense story.  I listened to this in audiobook and it really works.  Think a junior version of Game of Thrones.  I'm getting this for my high school library.  Enjoy.

Sarah Booth Delaney: Sticks and Bones by Carolyn Haines

I do love a good murder mystery story and this has been in my stack for a while.  Not for high school libraries.  Enjoy.

The Taking by Kimberly Derting

Audio book is a good listen to.  The story line is a good build up in suspense and mystery.  Will get for high school library.  Enjoy.

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.

Haunted Home Renovation Mystery: If Walls Could Talk by Juliet Blackwell

I do enjoy a good murder mystery and the audiobook is enjoyable.  It's a good read. or a good listen too!

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.
