New books!

Three new titles just in for your reading pleasure:

Basketball, anyone?
On the Devil's Court by Carl Deuker
"After reading Doctor Faustus, Joe considers the merits of selling his soul to the devil. Suddenly, he finds himself changing from a lousy basketball player and a C student to the star athlete he always dreamed he could be. Even though he isn't sure if he actually made a deal with the devil, he can't help but enjoy the benefits that come with his new found abilities. But is achieving his dreams worth what he may have given up?"
An ALA Best of the Best Books for Young Adults and Reluctant Readers


A little romance?
Bloom by Elizabeth Scott
"Lauren has a good life: decent grades, great friends, and a boyfriend every girl wants. So why is she so unhappy? It takes the arrival of a new boy for Lauren to figure out the answer. She needs to make a choice, before one is made for her."

Life-changing?
Such a Pretty Girl by Laura Wiess
"They promised Meredith nine years of safety, but only gave her three. Her father was supposed to be locked up until Meredith turned eighteen. She thought she had time to grow up, get out, and start a new life. But Meredith is only 15, and today her father is coming home from prison. Today her time has run out."

Check them out in your school library.
Mrs. C.
