Title: This Lullaby
Author: Sarah Dessen Genre: Teen/Fiction/Romance About: With her mother working on husband number five and her rock star father leaving before she was born, eighteen-year-old Remy believes in short-term, no-commitment relationships until she meets Dexter, a messy, disorganized musician. Recommended For: Teenage girls mostly. But I'm sure other people would enjoy it.  Title:Tithe: A Modern Faerie Tale Author: Holly Black Genre: Fantasy/ Romance About: Kaye, a sixteen year old girl, travels everywhere with her mom's rock band. When strange events occur, they end up moving in with her Gram in New Jersey. Kaye soon finds herself between a war between two faerie kingdoms. And wait...she's a pixie? Recommended For: Teens. There's language involved. I have a feeling girls would probably enjoy it more. Title: Valiant:A Modern Tale of Faerie Author: Holly Black Genre: Fantasy/Romance About: Seventeen-year-old Valerie Russell runs away to New York City. With a new identity, she lives with a gang of teens who live in the city's twisted subway system. But there's something strange about her new friends, with their talk of monsters and un-seeable creatures. And what's with the woman with the goat hooves for feet?! Recommended For: Same as above. Title:Ironside: A Modern Faery's Tale Author: Holly Black Genre: Fantasy/Romance About: In the realm of Faerie, the time has come for Roiben's coronation. Uneasy in the midst of the malevolent Unseelie Court, pixie Kaye is sure only of one thing--her love for Roiben. But when Kaye, drunk on faerie wine, declares herself to him, he sends her on a seemingly impossible quest. Now Kaye can’t see or speak with Roiben unless she can find the one thing she knows doesn’t exist: a faerie who can tell a lie. Recommended For: Same as above. |

There's language involved. I have a feeling girls would probably enjoy it more. I loved that book! The other ones didn't capture my imagination like Tithe did though. Title: Trickster's Choice Author: Tamora Pierce Genre: Fantasy/ Romance About: Tamora Pierce brings readers another Tortall adventure! Alianne is the teenage daughter of the famed Alanna, the first lady knight in Tortall. Young Aly follows in the quieter footsteps of her father, however, delighting in the art of spying. When she is captured and sold as a slave to an exiled royal family in the faraway Copper Islands, it is this skill that makes a difference in a world filled with political intrigue, murderous conspiracy, and warring gods. This is the first of two books featuring Alianne. Recommended For: Teenage girls mostly. Title: Trickster's Queen Author: Tamora Pierce Genre: Fantasy/ Romance About: Aly’s adventure continues. . . . No longer a slave, Alanna’s daughter is now spying as part of an underground rebellion against the colonial rulers of the Copper Isles. The people in the rebellion believe that a prophecy in which a new queen will rise up to take the throne is about to be realized. Aly is busy keeping the potential teenage queen and her younger siblings safe, while also keeping her in the dark about her future. But Aly, who is usually adept at anticipating danger and changes, is in for a few nasty surprises. Recommended For: Teenage girls mostly. Title: Dawn Rochelle series Author: Lurlene McDaniel Genre: Romance/Inspriational About: Dawn Rochelle is 13 years old when she is diagnosed with cancer. Her journey through her first chemotherapy, her new close friendship with fellow cancer patient Sandy, and their journey together into remission is a moving story. But remission doesn't last forever for either girl. First Dawn has to face the possibility of Sandy's death. Then Dawn's cancer returns as well. Her only hope is a bone marrow transplant from her brother, but even then there's only a 50 percent chance of survival. No matter what the outcome, Dawn is determined to live a normal life and use her own fight with cancer as a way to help others in these four interconnected poignant novels sure to inspire readers. Recommended For: Mostly girls but it's a great and touching book about life, disease, and death. |
