Sensationally spellbinding...
Begin at the beginning of this wonderfully weird, impressively imaginative, sprawling series by master wordsmith Snicket, whose spellbinding prose captivates readers of all ages.
Witty, heartbreaking masterpiece…
What better way to fight terminal cancer than with wry wit & a heartbreaking romance? You will laugh & you will cry while falling in love with starry-eyed Hazel & Augustus in Green’s trope-breaking masterpiece.
Continues to enthrall…
“A Wrinkle in Time” is a strange delight that contains everything from thorough explorations of time travel to strong, vulnerable characters. One of few books that continues to completely enthrall children and adults alike.
Fire is catching…
Equipped with only a bow and a heart of gold, Katniss Everdeen caught cultural fire, igniting the rebel in us all. A brilliant, action-packed social commentary on media manipulation that defines the dystopian YA genre.
Beyond a cult classic…
Quiet implications of deep distress and profound happiness litter this epistolary novel, penned by outsider Charlie, who makes inroads with various cliques to move past cliches. A modernized “The Catcher in the Rye”.
Haunting & provocative...
A provocative take on how our small, cruel & quiet everyday actions affect the lives of others. The tape cassettes Hannah records explaining the thirteen reasons why she committed suicide are haunting to hear narrated.
Powers of imagination...
This Newbury Award-winning classic is worth revisiting, if for its healing powers of imagination in the face of unfathomable tragedy alone.

Love is worth everything…

There’s an easy beauty to Yoon’s prose, an irresistibleness to the forbidden romance, and an addictive apprehension about how this could all possibly end that makes “Everything, Everything” a compulsive read. A must-read for anyone enamored with John Green’s “The Fault in Our Stars” or Gayle Forman’s “If I Stay.”
