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.

Dark Eden


Dark Eden by Patrick Carman

I've had the good fortune of receiving the advanced reading edition of this one and having been consuming it for a couple of days and I have to admit to being caught right up in the scary side of phobias. And of course Patrick Carman is still on the cutting edge of bringing his books to life this time with an interactive apps for your iphone / android phone / ipad / ipod / techno gadget. It will make it way to our library soon, get your name on the hold list.
Summary.
Fufteeb-year-old Will Besting is sent by his doctor to Fort Eden, an institution meant to help patients suffering from crippling phobias. Once there, Will and six other teenagers take turns in mysterious fear chambers and confront their worst nightmares - with the help of the group facilitator, Ransford, an enigmatic guide. When the patients emerge from the chamber, they feel emboldened by the previous night's experiences. But each person soon discovers strange, unexplained aches and pains ... What is really happening to the seven teens trapped in this dark Eden?
