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.

Exciting new titles for the library



hi everyone,

I know i've been a little slack on writing recently but I gonna try and make up for some of that now by previewing a bunch of new titles that have just come in for the library.
Here goes.

Starting with Shots on Goal by Rich Wallace.

It's soccer season, and sophomore Bones Austin and his team are struggling to make it to the district playoffs, against all odds. To make matters worse Bones has a crush on the girlfriend of his best friend joey. Bones and Joey are forced to learn a little something about teamwork, even when hard times are tearing them apart.
101 Things you wish you'd invented ... and some you wish no one had by Richard Horne and Tracey Turner
Fancy having you leg chopped off without anaestectic, a party with no music, or cleaning your teeth with a stick? Probably not.
Perhaps it's time you marvelled at the brilliance of invention. how ever did we end up with: Morse code? Toilet Paper? X-rays?
Make something, invent something or just marvel at the sheer luck, twist of evil or pure genius which lies behind the most innocent looking objects.
Warning: This book may induce a spontaneous brainwave. Do not read near naked flame.
