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.

Power slide




Powerslide by Jeff Ross
This is the perfect book for those of you who are skaters, or those of you who can't refuse a dare, or those of you who need a short, action-packed read. Lots of intense action, daring skate challenges and not too heavy with the moral of the story.
Here's the summary:
Casey lives to skate. At the end of his final year of high school, Casey hasn't applied to college, and, other than skateboarding, he doesn't believe he's good at much of anything. When a young movie star offers him a job as a stunt double in an upcoming skateboarding movie, Casey is stoked. It's his dream job. But when word gets out aobut Casey's new gig, a local skater has other ideas about who would make the best stunt double. What price will Casey pay to realize his dream?


Jeff Ross is a Canadian author and skateboarder.
