Maggie Stiefvater
An interesting take on the myth of the water horse. Every November on the Island of Thisby only the bravest race the water horses. It is a deadly race. Sean Kendrick is a returning champion, his skills with the water horses is almost otherworldly. Puck Connolly never meant to race but to save her house and family she has no choice. These two characters who are so different come to work together to paint a beautiful picture about life and fate. It's a breath-taking story you shouldn't miss.

How Do We Come Up with this Stuff
Lock-ins, trips to the movies, crafts, Halloween parties, angry bird events - have you ever wondered how the library comes up with these program ideas? Many of these programs come from kids just like you. The Teen Advisory Board works with the Youth Services Librarian, Miss Renee, to create a variety of events for you. Sometimes Miss Renee suggests the ideas and the Board members give their opinion and sometimes they give their ideas to Miss Renee and she tells whether an event will work. Do you have some great ideas? Come to a Teen Advisory Board meeting and find out what it's all about and share your ideas there. Meetings are held at 6:00 pm every 4th Tuesday of each month. Please come and join us.

A wonderfully haunting book about the past and present. While exploring her family ancestral home, Sarah begins having visions of the past. Slowly she comes to discover that there are many secrets hidden in this home. But when her visions begin to see and speak to her, Sarah begins to feel that there is a presence that threatens the person she holds most dear, her little brother Sam. It was a fantastic book that I couldn't put down. Wonderfully written with just the right amount of mystery.

Don't Miss Our Special Event
Book Talk
Legend
Marie Lu
Set in a dystopian United States where the West is the "Republic" at war with its neighbors, "Legend" by Marie Lu is an action-packed tale that keeps you reading! I loved how the story switched perspectives from fifteen-year-old Day (a wanted criminal living in the slums) to fifteen-year-old June (a military detective). They are supposed to be enemies. And they are ... that is until they meet each other and are forced to reassess their notions of this dystopian world and the people in it.
