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.

Breakaway

Breakaway by Andrea Montalbano Summary: LJ knows her place in the world is on the soccer field. When she's out there scoring goals, everything is right. But being a big-shot on the field is starting to go to her head. She's letting her temper get the best of her - both on the field and off, alienating everyone around her. Everyone except Tabitha, the popular girl who cares more about credit cards than yellow cards and spends most of her time on the bench. But when it's LJ on the bench instead of Tabitha, forced to be a spectator instead of a star, she realizes that sometimes it takes more skill and guts to make others look good instead of yourself. and that by losing a little glory, you can win more than just championships. This will be the perfect pick, as soccer season isn't that far off now.
