The Six by Mark Alpert-great sci-fi book. 6 kids are all dying of various diseases so they are used in a military experiment where their minds are put into robot like bodies. The military has ordered this in order to fight an artificial intelligence that THEY created that is now taking over and threatening to destroy all of humankind. Very exciting story AND there is a book two that we have in the library.
Goodbye Stranger by Rebecca Stead. This is a good story about friendship. The majority of the book is about Bridget (Bridge) and her best friends Em and Tab as they make their way through 7th grade. Their "no fighting" rule gets tested this year as they start to be interested in different things. Some of the story is told through Sherm's eyes...a boy who befriends Bridge, and part through an unnamed high school freshman. By the end of this book, all 5 stories come together in a satisfying end.
Serafina and the Black Cloak by Robert Beatty. Serafina has always had to stay hidden in the basement of The Biltmore Estate where her father works. But now something sinister is happening to the children that are staying at the Estate as guests and Serafina is determined to find them. This was a can't put down mystery. Serafina has always wondered about her mother and why she doesn't seem to be like other people and along with looking for the missing children, she is looking for answers about herself. This also has a book two that I bought for the library, so you have that to look forward to also.
Save Me a Seat by Sarah Weeks and Git Varadarajan I REALLY liked this book. Joe has always lived in his small town and Ravi is brand new from India. They couldn't be more different, but could they still be friends? This is a book about not judging people by first impressions and seeing what they are really about before you pass judgement. I found this an easy to read, delightful story.
