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.

The White Gates by Bonnie Ramthun


The White Gates by Bonnie Ramthun

When Torin Sinclair's mom gets a job as the town doctor in Snow Park, Colorado, Tor can't wait to learn to snowboard. He wants to know every inch of Snow Park Mountain, from the bunny slope to the White Gates, twin avalanche chutes that are off-limits to even the most experienced riders.
On Tor's first night there, a member of the high school snowboarding team falls seriously ill. "It's the curse," everyone says. A curse that no one will explain, but that - judging by the way people look at them - has everything to do with Tor and his mom.
With the help of two new friends, Tor must piece together a mystery involving the snowboarding team, an old mine, a Ute curse, and the magical secret that links them all. But to complete the puzzle, will Tor have to ride the deadly White Gates?

Here's the book trailer.
