Series are going to drive me crazy
First it was Town Secrets, Aeturnum, and Inititates. Waiting for book 4 to be written. Next came Horizon by Westerfeld. Book 1 of 4, waiting for #2. Horizon (13/60) and Making Bombs for Hitler (14/60) are selections from the current Scholastic Book Fair. I have recommended both to students and will get copies for the library.Everyone says I should read the Michael Vey books, but that is already up to book 6 or 7. Better wait until summer.
Years ago I watched the movie Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood (still haven't read the book) but I did read Ya-Yas in Bloom (16/60) which told the story of house there friendship started in the 1930s. Yet another series.
Earlier this month I attended the Six Corners of Nebraska-Northwest. I her Charlotte Endorf speak on Excess Baggage: Riding the Orphan Train. Several other Nebraska author were in attendance as well. I picked up Ghost Juggler (15/60) by Nora Brooks Morrison. Zack is in a new town, a new school, a new house - which just happens to be haunted. After making friends with the ghosts and helping them solve a problem, he figures he can deal with his real life problems. Problems that include the school bully, failing math, and making new friends.
