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 Extraordinary Secrets of April, May & June

The Extraordinary Secrets of April, May & June by Robin Benway

Yesterday, when a smallish box of books arrived I was excited as usual, but also sad because this will be one of the last deliveries of the year. Anyway, this was one of the titles in that little box, and one I plan to be taking home with me for some of my summer reading.

Here's the summary from the back cover:
I hugged my sisters and they fit against my side like two pieces of a jigsaw puzzle that would never fit anywhere else. I couldn't imagine ever letting them go again, like releasing them would be to surrender the best parts of myself.

Three sisters share a magical, unshakable bond in this witty high-concept novel. Around the time of their parents divorce, sisters April, May and June recover special powers from childhood - powers that come in handy navigating the hell that is high-school. Powers that help them cope with the hardest year of their lives. But could they have a greater purpose?
April, the oldest and a bit of a worrier, can see the future. Middle child May can literally disappear. And baby June reads minds - everyones but her own. When April gets a vision of disaster, the girls come together to save the day and reconcile their strained family. They realize that no matter what happens, powers or no powers, they'll always have each other. Because there is one thing stronger than magic - sisterhood.
