The Glass Spare The Cursed Sea by Lauren Destefano

It's a good read and conclusion to the series.  I would add this to the library.  Enjoy.  The audio book also very good.

The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Daughter of Chaos by Sarah Rees Brennan

This is not the cute Sabrina, TV series.  It may have some of the same characters from the show but this is a very dark version of the story.  Much more closer to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, only with witches.  I'm going to pass on getting this for my library. 

The Weight of Our Sky by Hanna Alkaf

Wow.  The author has talked to many people who have survived this violent time.  So many people were killed that the government had to create a mass burial.  Melati has a mental condition, formed after the death of her father, a policeman killed on duty.  Her mother is a nurse.  There is a lot of violence in this story.  This story was written in a way that it takes you there back in time.  With the tread of music to tie it all together.  History becomes alive in this very scary time.  Get this one for your high school library.

Get Out Of Your Own Way by Dave Hollis

The audio book is very good.  An honest book about personal demons and building and rebuilding a relationship with self, and family.  I'm glad Dave Hollis wrote this book.  It's a good read.

Farm to Fork Mystery Deep Fried Revenge by Lynn Cahoon

I love a good mystery and am a fan of Lynn Cahoon various series. It's a good read.  Enjoy.

On The Horizon by Lois Lowry

Wow.  In the eyes of a child, history comes to life.  The audio book is very very good.  This is a must read.  It's short but powerful.  I'm adding this to my high school library.  Told in perspectives of both sides of the ocean during a very tragic time.

Maybe He Just Likes You by Barbara Dee

I think this should be any middle school library.  It's a good book and discuss how bully behavior and inappropriate touching is something that explains feelings and communication in a good story line.  It's a solid book.  Add this to your middle school collection.

They Went Left by Monica Hesse

Wow.  What happens after the camps are open?  After the survivors who walk out of the Nazi camps,  can they reunite and rebuild their lives.  People having been moved all over, how do you know who's alive and who is looking for you?  Go on a journey with Zofia as she is looking for her brother.  She knows the rest of her family are dead.  A very good read.  The audio book also very good.  I am getting for my high school library.

Moment of Truth by Kasie West

I liked this story.  There is a lot of good parts to this story that makes it work.  I'm getting this one for my high school library.  Enjoy.

Avatar The Last Airbender The Rise of Kyoshi by F. C. Yee

It's a good read.  A page turner.  The characters and plot well developed and the action and game plan are well described.  It's a good read and I will get for my high school library.  Enjoy.

The List of Things That Will Not Change by Rebecca Stead

I liked this book.  I think it would be perfect for middle school and upper elementary school.  Bea has some guilt issues and learns to overcome them.  She also has supportive parents and her family is growing when her father gets married again.  It's a good read.

The Sound of Stars by Alechia Dow

A space alien and human adventure romance story.  It works.  I will get for my high school library.  Enjoy.

Peony in Love by Lisa See

A fine piece of writing and bring the past alive.  Women in this century are about sacrificing for the the men.  That they don't have their own identity.  Peony is the 16 year old daughter of a well to do family.  Journey with her as she goes from full of life, to how literature changes her and follow her in death as she watches her family and love continue on.  A brilliant piece of literature.  I would say for adults. 

Yes No Maybe So by Albertalli & Saeed

Sweet story about growing up, falling in love and figuring it out.  It's a good read.  Enjoy.

The Game of Silence by Louise Erdrich

We are in a pandemic right now and interesting to read a story in which life goes from normal to then an illness spreads out and affects the Native Americans.  Read the story about a young girl who is growing up in her culture and also the white people's culture.  The audio book also good.

The 57 Bus by Dashka Slater

Well documented.  I confess this is new territory for me with classifications of genders and pronouns, so I'm going to be neutral in writing this because of not sure which use of genders to use.
I am getting this book for my high school library.  It is excellent because of it shows both sides.  Builds a back story about all involved and Sasha recovers and Richard is forgiving.  Go on on this journey and read the story or listen to the audio book.

The Institute by Stephen King

Stephen King can tell a story.  Think Fire Starter meets Dr. Mengel.  It's a good story.  The audio book also good.  Fine for high school libraries.

Dig by A. S. King

First:  This is a very good book.  Second it's filled with all kinds of harsh raw situations:  Family dysfunction, racism, drugs, abuse, mental health/trying to survive and a ghost.  I think I would want one copy in my library and personally connect the book with the students who are serious readers and would appreciate it for it is. 

Great By Choice by Collins & Hansen

Good book filled with advice and examples that well explain what works and what didn't.  

Gone Away Lake by Elizabeth Enright

Not my favorite, it was alright. Writing for children's book in the 50's is different then now.  Some cultural references that could be considered not appropriate.  There are also some terms that are old fashion that modern students may not understand such as jack knife, button hook.  FYI button hook is for old fashion shoes were fasten by buttons and need a tool to do that.  I would pass on this one.  It would be fine for parents to read to children.
