I am reading this as we speak it is a wonderful book and was very well written I had just purchased at the library this morning but I will say because Stevenson is from the united kingdom it was a bit hard to understand with hints of an Irish vocabulary

The Ghost of Graylock

The Ghost of Graylock

By Dan Poblocki

​Dear avid horror book readers: Whatever you do, DON'T READ THIS RIGHT BEFORE YOU FALL ASLEEP! The Ghost of Graylock is an amazingly written but terrifying book. It's still good though, so don't let that stop you! I just finished reading it for the fifth time, and I had to read it on my couch curled up with a blanket during the middle of the day. Have you ever heard of the legend of terrifying ghost, Nurse Janet?​ Ventured into the woods to get your taste of the broken down mental hospital, Graylock Hall? These were two of the first things Neil Cady did when he went to stay with his aunts at Hedston after his dad moved out and his mom seeked help. Only, when he visits Graylock, it starts to get kind of creepy. Well, REALLY creepy. Everything seems frozen in time. He gets locked into room number 13 with his sister in the youth section. Suddenly the light on his camera dies. A dark shape crouches in the corner.... Bree seems determined to forget everything about Graylock, but no one can outrun that dark shape in the corner....

When

When

This book is FANTASTIC. I literally could not put it down. I started reading it this morning with my morning coffee, intending to read just a chapter or two, but could not put it down until I finished the book...it was that good. I don't normally read YA books, but agreed to read this one before I even knew the premise. I've long been a fan of the author's adult books and wasn't sure what to expect from the beginning of a YA series. The author's talent and creativity come together in When to create a work that is compelling and original. She has crafted a story that is designed for the YA market, but that any age would enjoy. It involves a teen, Maddie, with the dubious gift of being able to see the death date of people. Her sharing these dates lands her in the middle of a complex murder investigation. Throughout it all, with challenges even beyond being thought capable of murder, Maddie finds an inner strength and the ability to get out of bed each morning and face the day. She does this despite knowing that the world will somehow find a way to kick her in the back. As I'm sure most of us remember, high school is not always the friendliest of places. Standing out or being different can make even showing up for class very difficult. Maddie shows us that it is possible to get through this, even when it feels like the universe is conspiring against us. I fully recommend this book for it's intended YA audience, but also for any adult interested in a compelling read. This one is a must read.

Serafina and the Seven Stars

Serafina and the Seven Stars

By Robert Beatty

This book gave me the creeps. It was kind of cool when they discovered the statues were becoming live a because of a dumb fawn and the seven stars. This book can also get seriously violent. It got difficult for me to get through the whole book. There wasn't even five chapters of free violence when I got really shook up. Some cat just had to fall. . This book is recomended for readers who want acton, violence, and mature enough to make it through the whole book. This is also not recomended as a bedtime story, it could easily give nightmares to little ones. I hated it the whole way through really, but it was also exciting. And I was satisfied with the ending. I still like RB's Serifina series, and I won't let a fawn ruin it for me.

I Am the Messenger

I Am the Messenger

By Markus Zusak

I highly recommend this book to students in upper grades, years 10+ who don't mind a little grit in their lit. This is a great story about a young man who is finding his place in the world and learning what is really important to him. He explores his own situation through a series of encounters with people in his local community who need something; some need help, some need emotional support, others need a push to do something they want to do but are afraid of. Excellent page turner you won't want to end.
