Imagine a fence built around your entire town where zombies roam the periphery. Rot and Ruin is a zombtastic book! The main character is learning that the job of vampire hunter is more cruel than he expected. He begins to question whether or not killing vampires is the best solution to the "biting" problem.

Dystopia at its best. These kids must at least TRY to get out of Ember before the food and power completely run out. But how to get out of a city that is heavily guarded when you don't quite know where you're going, and your baby sister has torn up the directions for getting outta there!

THis book taught me how to be a better person. Auggie is the anti-hero who we all fall madly in love with! Our class read this book and I am not shy to say that I cried in front of them a few times. At first you feel desparately sorry for Auggie, but in the end you feel more sorry for anyone who cannot see the power of love and friendship.

The Apothecary is a slightly more down-to-earth Harry Potter fantasy book. I loved the overlay of British vocabulary and themes from ancient apothecary medicine. The lead character is a girl who develops feelings for a boy at the same time she is trying to save the world with him. It's naturally quite complicated : )
