About Me

I'm the school librarian at G.S. Lakie Middle School. As you can see - me, reading and comfy chairs go way back. I still enjoy Asterix and many other graphic novels. My main reason for blogging is for reviewing books for the students and anyone else that might be interested in YA literature.

His eighteen-year-old brother Chase's two year addiction to crystal meth has left their family emotionally and finanicially drained. And just when Gordie thinks he can no longer stand the manipulating, the lying, and the stealing, things get even worse.
