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.

Coffeehouse Angel


Coffeehouse Angel by Suzanne Selfors
When Katrina spots a homeless guy sleeping in the alley behind her grandmother's coffee shop, she decides to leave him a cup of coffee, a bag of chocolate-covered coffee beans, and some pastries to tide him over. Little does she know that this random act of kindness is about to turn her life upside down. The adorable "vagrant" is actually a real guardian angel on a break between missions, and he simply won't go away until he can reward Katrina's selflessness...
This one has already been optioned for a movie, so don't waste any time pick it up before you have to pay money to see it in the theatres.

Finally


Finally by Wendy Mass

You can pierce your ears when your twelve. You can go to the mall with your friends when your twelve. You can babysit little Timmy nextdoor when your twelve. You can get a cell phone when your twelve. Hey, you can even ride in the front passenger seat when your twelve.

When your twelve, when your twelve, when your twelve...

My name is Rory Swenson, and I've been waiting to turn twelve my whole life. In exactly 18 hours, 36 minutes and 52 seconds, it will finally happen.

My life will officially begin...

I love Wendy Mass and her writing style, it's easy, fun and puts you right there in the heart of things. So it's no wonder that Finally is already a hit with so many readers at G.S. Lakie.
