<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">No,
I did not like this book because I found the ploy confusing and the end
inconclusive. It was confusing and overall not my favorite book.</span></div>

you like this book? Why or Why not?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">No,
I did not really enjoy this book because it frustrated me when I couldn’t
understand what the book was explaining about illusions and I just found it not
pleasurable.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">I
like this because the kids set up a court and I have a strong interest in the
way a court works and court in general.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">I
have mixed feelings about this book. It was an interesting topic and I like the
facts and information. But, I don’t think I would like to read this book again
because the information was presented in a boring fashion.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">I
didn’t like this book because the poetic form and the constant switch of

thought this book was okay; it wasn’t horrible but it wasn’t the best either.
The only reason I think this book is halfway decent is because it is part of a
series I enjoy.</span></div>

you like this book? Why or Why not?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">No,
because I felt that it was a bit boring and since it was a nonfiction book made
it harder to like because that is not one of my favorite genres. I did however
like that it was a history book.</span></div>

One by one, the girls' worst deeds come out, and their worlds come crashing down around them. Spencer gets kicked out of Princeton. Hanna gets kicked out of her dad's campaign--and his heart. Emily gets kicked to the curb. And Aria may get kicked out of the country. The girls are the lowest they've ever been. They've lost <em>everything</em>. But A's not done yet. If A's deadly plan succeeds, the liars will have told their last lie...<em> </em><span style="color: magenta;"><strong>New Teen Fiction Shepard</strong></span></span><br />

Like much of the destroyed planet, the place knows only one temperature--freezing. But some things never change. The diamond in the ice desert is still a 24-hour playground and nothing keeps the crowds away from the casino floors, never mind the rumors about sinister sorcery in its shadows. At the heart of this city is Natasha Kestal, a young blackjack dealer looking for a way out. Like many, she's heard of a mythical land simply called “the Blue.” They say it’s a paradise, where the sun still shines and the waters are turquoise. More importantly, it’s a place where Nat won’t be persecuted, even if her darkest secret comes to light. But passage to the Blue is treacherous, if not impossible, and her only shot is to bet on a ragtag crew of mercenaries led by a cocky runner named Ryan Wesson there. Danger and deceit await on every corner, even as Nat and Wes find themselves drawn to each other. But can true love survive the lies? <span style="color: magenta;"><strong>New Teen Fiction Cruz</strong></span><span style="color: magenta;"><strong> </strong></span><br />

Patchin: <br />
<div>
Cyberbullying happens every day. Harsh words and damaging photos exchanged through texts, email, or social media can result in humiliation, broken friendships, punishment at school, and even legal prosecution. In some cases, online harassment has contributed to teen suicide. Faced with this frightening problem, parents, educators, and teens are looking for information and advice. Many books have been written for adults about what cyberbullying is and what to do about it, but nothing has been written specifically for teens to help them to protect themselves and their peers. Written by the foremost experts in cyberbullying prevention and reviewed by teens, this book provides practical strategies for those who are being cyberbullied, seeing cyberbullying, or who just want to do something to help make their schools a safer and more respectful place. The book includes dozens of real-life stories from those who have experienced cyberbullying, including many who have risen above it to make a positive difference in their schools. <strong><span style="color: blue;">New Teen Non-Fiction 302.34 PAT</span></strong></div>

Steve Jobs was given up for adoption at birth, dropped out of college after one semester, and at the age of 20, created Apple in his parents' garage with his friend Steve Wozniack. Then came the core and hallmark of his genius--his quest for perfection, his counterculture life approach, and his level of taste and style that pushed all boundaries. A devoted husband, father, and Buddhist, he battled cancer for over a decade, became the ultimate CEO, and made the world want every product he touched. Framed by Jobs' inspirational Stanford commencement speech and illustrated throughout with black and white photos, this is the story of the man who changed our world. <strong><span style="color: blue;">New Teen Biography Jobs</span></strong><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br />

In the middle of the night in late October, when the unthinkable happens, those same neighbors force their way into the shelter before Scott’s dad can shut the door. With not enough room, not enough food, and not enough air, life inside the shelter is filthy and physically and emotionally draining. But even worse is the question of what will--and won’t--remain when the door is opened again. <span style="color: orange;"><strong>New Teen Fiction Strasser</strong></span></span><br />

Printz award–winning <i>In Darkness</i> comes a critically-acclaimed, fast-paced thriller that’s as dangerous as the seas on which it’s set. The last thing Amy planned to do this summer was sail around the world trapped on a yacht with her father and her stepmother. All she wanted was to fast-forward to October when she’ll turn 18 and take control of her own life. Aboard the <i>Daisy May</i>, Amy spends time sunbathing, dolphin watching and forgetting the past as everything floats by...until one day in the Gulf of Aden another boat appears. A boat with guns and pirates..the kind that kill. Immediately, the pirates seize the boat and its human cargo. Hostage One is Amy’s father--the most valuable. Hostage Two: her stepmother. And Hostage Three is Amy, who can’t believe what’s happening. As the ransom brokering plays out, Amy finds herself becoming less afraid, and even stranger still, drawn to one of her captors, a teenage boy who wants desperately to be more than who he has become. Suddenly it becomes brutally clear that the price of life and its value are two very different things... <strong><span style="color: orange;">New Teen Fiction Lake</span></strong></span><br />

But as college—and its cost—looms large, Becca begins to wonder how they’ll afford it. And how she can apply for financial aid without revealing her secret? A local scholarship opportunity seems like a dream come true, but as the application process begins, Becca uncovers a chain of secrets that could destroy everything she’s worked so hard to build. But the truth could also lead her toward the future she’s always dreamed of… <strong><span style="color: orange;">New Teen Fiction Haddix</span></strong><br />

June is back in the good graces of the Republic, working within the government’s elite circles as Princeps Elect while Day has been assigned a high level military position. But neither could have predicted the circumstances that will reunite them once again. Just when a peace treaty is imminent, a plague outbreak causes panic in the Colonies, and war threatens the Republic’s border cities. This new strain of plague is deadlier than ever, and June is the only one who knows the key to her country’s defense. But saving the lives of thousands will mean asking the one she loves to give up everything he has. With heart-pounding action, Marie Lu’s bestselling trilogy draws to a stunning conclusion. <span style="color: orange;"><strong>New Teen Fiction Lu</strong></span><br />

But now her mother is gone, and everywhere Eureka goes he is there: Ander, the tall, pale blond boy who seems to know things he shouldn't, who tells Eureka she is in grave danger, who comes closer to making her cry than anyone has before. But Ander doesn't know Eureka's darkest secret: ever since her mother drowned in a freak accident, Eureka wishes she were dead, too. She has little left that she cares about, just her oldest friend, Brooks, and a strange inheritance—a locket, a letter, a mysterious stone, and an ancient book no one understands. The book contains a haunting tale about a girl who got her heart broken and cried an entire continent into the sea. Eureka is about to discover that the ancient tale is more than a story, that Ander might be telling the truth... and that her life has far darker undercurrents than she ever imagined. The first in a new trilogy. <span style="color: orange;"><strong>New Teen Fiction Kate</strong></span><br />

The first is of Little Bao, a Chinese peasant boy whose village is abused and plundered by Westerners claiming the role of missionaries. Little Bao, inspired by visions of the Chinese gods, joins a violent uprising against the Westerners. Against all odds, their grass-roots rebellion is successful. But in the second volume, Yang lays out the opposite side of the conflict. A girl whose village has no place for her is taken in by Christian missionaries and finds, for the first time, a home with them. As the Boxer Rebellion gains momentum, Vibiana must decide whether to abandon her Christian friends or to commit herself fully to Christianity. This ambitious graphic novel is garnering reviews as one of the best of the year. <br />

Join us for pizza as we discuss this month's book club pick, <em>Ship Breaker</em> by Paolo Bacigalupi. In this fast-paced post-apocalyptic adventure set on the American Gulf Coast, Nailer
works light crew. His dirty, dangerous job is to crawl deep into the wrecks of
the ancient oil tankers that line the beach, scavenging copper wire and turning
it over to his crew boss. After a brutal hurricane passes over, Nailer and his
friend Pima stumble upon the wreck of a luxurious clipper ship. It's filled with
valuable goods—a "Lucky Strike" that could make them rich, if only they can find
a safe way to cash it in. Amid the wreckage, a girl barely clings to life. If
they help her, she tells them, she can show them a world of privilege that they
have never known. But can they trust her? And if so, can they keep the girl safe
from Nailer's drug-addicted father? A finalist for the National Book Award. <br />

<span style="color: blue;"><strong>Wed. Sept. 18</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><strong>6-7 p.m.</strong></span><br />
<br />
Stargirl. From the day she arrives at quiet Mica High in a burst of color and sound, the hallways hum with the murmur of “Stargirl, Stargirl.” She captures Leo Borlock’s heart with just one smile. She sparks a school-spirit revolution with just one cheer. The students of Mica High are enchanted. At first. Then they turn on her. Stargirl is suddenly shunned for everything that makes her different, and Leo, panicked and desperate with love, urges her to become the very thing that can destroy her: normal. In this celebration of nonconformity, Newbery Medalist Jerry Spinelli weaves a tense, emotional tale about the perils of popularity and the thrill and inspiration of first love.

disappears, leaving her alone. She can see nothing but ruins around her
pink house by the sea in Los Angeles. Her family was swept away by the
water. Her father had warned of impending danger, and though her mother
thought he was paranoid, his emergency provisions keep Pen alive. Weeks
later, men break into her house, but Pen escapes with their van. She
sets off on an <i>Odyssey</i>-like journey in search of her family. On the way,
she encounters giants, sirens, a witch, a girl who may be magical, and

she had been struggling with feelings for one of her closest
girlfriends. Now, as she, Hex, Ez, and Ash speed toward Las Vegas, Pen
finds strength she's never known and love she didn't expect. <span style="color: blue;"><b> New Fiction Block</b></span><br />

filled with beautiful blond girls who all seem inexplicably attracted to
him. But that’s not the only reason why he thinks the girls are
strange. They only wear flats because heels make their feet bleed. They
never go swimming in the water. And they all want something from him. Sam
finds himself in an unexpected summer romance when he falls for one of
the girls, DeeDee. But as they get closer, she pulls away without
explanation. Sam knows that if he is going to win her back, he’ll have

He doesn’t know it is a
sleeping Time Fetch—and touching it will release its foragers too soon
and alter the entire fabric of time and space. Soon the bell rings to
end class just as it has begun. Buses race down streets, too far behind
schedule to stop for passengers. Buildings and sidewalks begin to
disappear as the whole fabric of the universe starts to unravel. To try
to stop the foragers, Edward must depend on the help of his classmates
Feenix, Danton, and Brigit—whether he likes it or not. They all have
touched the Fetch, and it has drawn them together in a strange and
thrilling adventure. The boundaries between worlds and dimensions are
blurred, and places and creatures on the other side are much like the
ones they’ve always known—but slightly twisted, a little darker, and
much more dangerous. <span style="color: blue;"><b>New Fiction Herrick</b></span><br />

He's just made a big mistake. So when
he returns to school after a weeklong suspension, his English teacher
offers him a deal: if he keeps a journal and writes about the terrible
incident that got him and his friends suspended, he can get out of
writing a report on Shakespeare. Julian jumps at the chance. And so
begins his account of life in sixth grade--blowing up homemade
fireworks, writing a love letter for his best friend (with disastrous
results), and worrying whether he's still the fastest kid in school.
Lurking in the background, though, is the one story he can't bring
himself to tell, the one story his teacher most wants to hear. <b><span style="color: blue;">New Fiction Goldblatt</span></b><br />

finally reunited, but do they have what it takes to win the war against
the Mogadorians? <span style="color: blue;"></span>John Smith—Number Four—thought that things would
change once the Garde found one another. They would stop running. They
would fight the Mogadorians. And they would win. But he was
wrong. After facing off with the Mogadorian ruler and almost being
annihilated, the Garde know they are drastically unprepared and
hopelessly outgunned. Now they're hiding out in Nine's Chicago
penthouse, trying to figure out their next move. The six of them
are powerful, but they're not strong enough yet to take on an entire
army—even with the return of an old ally. To defeat their enemy, the
Garde must master their Legacies and learn to work together as a team.
More important, they'll have to discover the truth about the Elders and
their plan for the Loric survivors. And when the Garde receive a
sign from Number Five—a crop circle in the shape of a Loric symbol—they
know they are so close to being reunited. But could it be a trap? Time
is running out, and the only thing they know for certain is that they
have to get to Five before it's too late. The Garde may have lost battles, but they will not lose this war. Lorien will rise again. <span style="color: blue;"><b>New Fiction Lore</b></span><br />

But now there are more and more empty shelves--and more and more times when the lights flicker and go out, leaving them in terrifying blackness for long minutes. What will happen when the generator finally fails? Twelve-year-olds Doon and Lina seem to be the only ones who are worried, and they begin a frightening and dangerous trek to a city of light of which they have only dreamed.<br />

It's all Margaret Frobisher has ever wanted—and when she's discovered by a powerful agent, she can barely believe her luck. She's more than ready to escape her snobby private school and conservative family for a chance to light up the silver screen. The competition is fierce at Olympus Studios and Margaret—now Margo—is chasing her Hollywood dreams alongside girls like Gabby Preston, who at 16 is already a grizzled show-biz veteran caught between the studio and the ravenous ambition of her ruthless mother, and sultry Amanda Farraday, who seems to have it all--ambition, glamour...and dirty secrets. Missing from the pack is Diana Chesterfield, the beautiful actress who mysteriously disappeared, and there are whispers that Diana's boyfriend—Margo's new co-star—may have had something to do with it. Margo quickly learns that fame comes with a price, and that nothing is what it seems. <span style="color: red;">New Teen Fiction Shukert</span><br />

He shows up in a new high school in a new town under a new name, makes a few friends, and doesn't stay long. Just long enough for someone in his new friend's family to die-of "natural causes." Mission accomplished, Boy Nobody disappears, moving on to the next target. But when he's assigned to the mayor of New York City, things change. The mayor's daughter is unlike anyone he's ever met and the mayor reminds him of his father. And when memories and questions surface, his handlers at The Program are watching. Because somewhere deep inside, Boy Nobody is somebody: the kid he once was; the teen who wants normal things, like a real home and parents; a young man who wants out. And who just might want those things badly enough to sabotage The Program's mission. <span style="color: red;">New Teen Fiction Zadoff</span><br />

Just when she thinks nothing else can possibly go wrong, an emergency whisks her parents away to Japan—right before harvest season. Summer and her little brother, Jaz, are left in the care of their grandparents, who come out of retirement in order to harvest wheat and help pay the bills. The thing about Obaachan and Jiichan is that they are old-fashioned and demanding, and between helping Obaachan cook for the workers, covering for her when her back pain worsens, and worrying about her lonely little brother, Summer just barely has time to notice the attentions of their boss’s cute son. But notice she does, and what begins as a welcome distraction from the hard work soon turns into a mess of its own. Having thoroughly disappointed her grandmother, Summer figures the bad luck <i>must </i>be finished—but then it gets worse. And when that happens, Summer has to figure out how to change it herself, even if it means further displeasing Obaachan. Because it might be the only way to save her family. <span style="color: red;">New Teen Fiction Kadohata</span><br />

Americans roam the streets in gauze masks to ward off the deadly Spanish influenza, and the government ships young men to the front lines of a brutal war, creating an atmosphere of fear and confusion. Sixteen-year-old Mary Shelley Black watches as desperate mourners flock to séances and spirit photographers for comfort, but she herself has never believed in ghosts. During her bleakest moment, however, she’s forced to rethink her entire way of looking at life and death, for her first love—a boy who died in battle—returns in spirit form. But what does he want from her?<br />
Featuring haunting archival early-20th century photographs, this is a tense, romantic story set in a past that is eerily like our own time. <span style="color: red;">New Teen Fiction Winters</span><br />

She's<span style="color: red;"> </span>popular, smart, funny...but she's never been one of those girls: the pretty ones who get all the attention from guys. And on top of that, her seven-year-old sister, Mackenzie, is a terror in a tiara--part of a pageant scene where she gets praised for her beauty (with the help of fake hair and tons of makeup). Lexi's sick of it. She's sick of being the girl who hears about kisses instead of getting them. She's sick of being ignored by her longtime crush, Logan. She's sick of being taken for granted by her pageant-obsessed mom. And she's sick of having all her family's money wasted on a phony pursuit of perfection. The time has come for Lexi to step out from the sidelines. Girls without great personalities aren't going to know what hit them. Because Lexi's going to play the beauty game--and she's in it to win it. <span style="color: red;">New Teen Fiction Eulberg </span><br />

<b><i>Along for the Ride</i> by Sarah Dessen:</b> Ever since her parents began fighting, Auden has been unable to sleep at night. Now, spending a summer at a charming beach town with her father and his new family, she has to find new places to pass the time she spends awake. And so she meets Eli, a fellow insomniac who becomes her nighttime guide. Together, they embark on parallel quests: for Auden, to experience the carefree teenage life she has missed; for Eli, to come to terms with the death of a friend. <span style="color: orange;">Teen Fic Dessen</span><br />

busy and overscheduled—but for the most part, they get along
just fine. Then Taylor’s dad gets devastating news, and her parents decide that
the family will spend one last summer together at their old lake house in
the Pocono Mountains.
Crammed into a place much smaller and more rustic than they are used to,
they begin to get to know each other again. And Taylor discovers that the people
she thought she had left behind haven’t actually gone anywhere. Her former best
friend is still around, as is her first boyfriend…and he’s much cuter at
17 than he was at 12.
As the summer progresses and the Edwards become more of a family,
they’re more aware than ever that they’re battling a ticking clock. Sometimes,
though, there is just enough time to get a second chance—with family,
friends, and love. <span style="color: orange;">Teen Fic Matson</span><br />

<b><i>Peace, Love, & Baby Ducks</i> by Lauren Myracle:</b> Fifteen-year-old
Carly has always relied on her sister, Anna.
But when 14-year-old Anna turns plastic-perfect-pretty over the course of
a single summer, everything starts to change. And <i>there are boys
involved</i>, complicating things as boys always do. With warmth, insight, and humor,
Lauren Myracle dives into the tumultuous waters of sisterhood and shows that
even very different sisters can learn to help each other stay afloat. <span style="color: orange;">Teen Fic McCall</span><br />
