Austin Family Chronicles Troubling A Star by Madeleine L’Engle

The audio book is great.  This is a thriller meshed with murder, mystery, science and politics and throw in some of romance.  The story continues of the Austin Family Chronicles.  Fine for any middle or high school library and good for public and personal libraries.  Enjoy.

Austin Family Chronicles The Moon by Night by Madeleine L’Engle

I'm enjoy this audio book and the story is delightful.  Should be a required reading for middle or high school students.  It's about life and growth.  Romance and relationships.  Well written.  A bit vintage but still good.  Enjoy.

Austin Family Chroniciles A Ring of Endless Light by Madeleine L’engle

I loved this book and am going through this series.  The audio book excellent.  It's part philosophical, part scientific, part environmental and all about life.  This series will be welcome in any library, middle, high and public libraries.  A great coming of age story.

Starcrossed Goddess by Josephine Angelini

It's okay.  I'm not going to add to my high school library but fine for public and personal libraries.

A Face Like Glass by Frances Hardinge

Just like Alice in Wonderland chasing a rabbit to destiny, Neverfall also chases a rabbit into chaos and away from her sheltered world.  Underground is not safe, wines that can make you forget, a master thief and lies that float around as truths.  It's a good read.  I think fine for middle school.  The beginning is slow but wait till you get to the end!  Enjoy.

The Belles by Dhonielle Clayton

Politics and magic,  power plays and duties make this an interesting story.  It goes beyond the looks and beauty as one mad princess is taking control over the palace.  The audio book is good.  Fine for any high school library.

Someone to Love by Melissa de la Cruz

I listened to the audio book and decided to stick with it.  I'm glad I did.  It's not an easy story to read.  At first I thought Olivia was a shallow girl but then you can see that she is a teen in need.  Would I put it in the library?  I think I would.  It's an important read.

Zeroes Nexus by Scott Westerfeld

I already have the first two in my high school library, this will be another one to add.  It's a solid series and great various characters, each with their flaws.  Danger and mystery color this story intense.  Enjoy and also audio book very good. 

Ready Player One by Ernest Cline

A friend told me about this book.  She said it was great.  I listened to the audio book and will get for my high school library.  It's intense and I love that it has all the 80's reference.  Enjoy this book.  Think Tron, Warcross, Ender's Game and other cybergame world books.  Enjoy. 

Ravenspire The Traitor Prince by C. J. Redwine

It's a good one.  Enjoy.  Fine for any high school library.  Audio book also good.

Legacy of Orisha Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi

This story line has been done many times but this is pretty special.  Will I get for my high school library?  You betcha.  It's a good read and I look forward to Tomi Adeyemi's next book.  Enjoy.  Audio book also good.

Kids of Appetite by David Arnold

It's a good story.  I would get for the high school.  Audio book also very good.  Enjoy.

The Girl in the Blue Coat by Monica Hesse

This book is up for the CYRM award  2019.  I can see why.  It'll be a hard choice between two other fantastic books.  Go back in time to when Hitler and the Nazis where occupying the Netherlands.  Enter a dangerous world.  It's a good read and a good audio book.

Goodbye Days by Jeff Zentner

I'm getting this for my high school library.  It's right up there with Sarah Dressen and John Green.  Grief and guilt, anger and forgiveness makes this book a solid story.  A must read.

The Eye of Minds by James Dashner

Tron the next generation.  This is the newest genre of online gamers who become deep in the cyberspace.  James Dashner knows how to tell a suspenseful story.  Fine for any school library.  Enjoy.

Partials Ruins by Dan Wells

I like this apocalptic story told in multiple views.  It's fine for any high school library.  Enjoy.

Heart Berries a Memoir by Terese Marie Mailhot

This is book would be perfect for women studies and First Nation studies.  Family dysfunction written so vividly.  Self understanding and journey makes this a brave story to read.  The audio book also very good.

Stone Heart Silvertongue by Charlie Fletcher

This is book 3 in the Stoneheart  Trilogy.  I like it and think it would be fine for middle school.  Fantasy and talking statues that connect to history make this a good story.  Enjoy.  Audio book also good.

The Stone Heart Ironhand by Charlie Fletcher

Perfect for middle school readers.  Adventures that take place in Britain.  Think fantasy and modern times.  It's a good read.  Audio book also good.

Charlotte Holmes The Case for Jamie by Brittany Cavallaro

If you are a fan of Sherlock Holmes then you'll enjoy this dark contemporary twist.  The descents of Holmes and Watson are companions in pain.  The series continues.  Adventure awaits as danger darkens the story.  Perfect for personal and public libraries.  Not sure if it will reach a broader range in a high school library.  It's a good read but not for everyone.  Audio book also good.
