These just in at your O'Hara High School Library....
The Host by Stephenie Meyer. This is not part of the Twilight series but I think you'll like it. Look for a review coming soon.
Check this out -- a graphic novel for those who like comic books. This one is named by TIME Magazine as one of the best 100 novels. Watchmen by Alan Moore. Be the first to review this one.
A new one by an award winning author: Impossible by Nancy Werlin. "Lucy has nine months to break an ancient curse in order to save both herself and her unborn daughter.
Inspired by the ballad “Scarborough Fair,” this riveting novel combines suspense, fantasy, and romance for an intensely page-turning and masterfully original tale."

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."

New Books!
The following new books are now available for checkout from the library......
Ghostgirl by Tonya Hurley -- "sometimes high school really is a matter of life or death....Charlotte Usher feels practically invisible at school, and then one day she really is. Even worse: she's dead. And all because of a guy and a gummy bear."
Kitty, Kitty by Michel Jaffe -- this is the sequel to Bad Kitty. "Jasmine had everything a girl could want. It wasn't her idea to move to Venice......but it's not so bad until her cousin and best friend arrive. Faster than you can say "gelato," Jasmine is caught up in a catastrophic caper...."
The Sorcerer King by Frewin Jones -- this is book three in the Faerie Path series. "Tania is a princess of the Faerie Court, but the Court now lies in ruins. Tania and her love must travel to find and rescue the King who is their only hope for defeating the evil Sorcerer King."
Generation Dead by Daniel Waters -- "Phoebe is just your typical goth girl with a crush. He's strong and silent...and dead. All over the country, a strange phenomenon is occurring. Some teenagers who die aren't staying dead. They are coming back to life, but they are no longer the same." Funny!!!
Strays by Ron Koertge -- "Ted's parents just died in a fiery car crash, and now he's stuck with a set of semi-psycho foster parents, two foster brothers and a high school full of delinquents sure to eat him alive. He's having pretty much the worst year of his miserable life. Or so he thinks."
Enjoy!
