The chronicles of the invaders by John Connolly and JENNIFER RIDYARD
By far above your average young adult series

Young lovers from two different worlds join together against a common foe...... sound chess doesn't it ? Well this is not your average teen love story fare . Connolly can turn his hand to practicaly any genre, he is know as a thriller writer but this series is up there with the best in this category

[This is How I Find Her] by [Sara Polsky] was a different take on dealing with mental illness for YA. Instead of the teen struggling with her own mental illness she is struggling with her mom who suffers from it. [Polsky] does a good job showing the struggles of those who love someone who has a mental illness in all different ways. I will be adding this book to my classroom library.

A kid of the 80s...
I'm a huge fan of cyber punk and science fiction, so I was drawn to the hype on this book. It has a slow start, so I almost gave up. I'm glad I didn't, however, and you will be too. Especially if you were a teen in the 80s, the nostalgia filled quest for the holy Grail ..errr...egg will catch you

Not bad
Not too bad. Felt kind of like a teen x-men story. The acting was decent and the cinematography and effects were pretty cool. Hard to say it's "great" as these types of movies are done a lot(people with powers). This was a decent take on the subject matter, though. It's also safe for the kids to watch with you on family movie night. Plenty of entertainment. Worth a watch!

This Middle Grade trilogy comes to an end as modern day teen Greg Rich must figure out a way to save seventeenth century France and find the stone that will take his family home. Fasted paced action made it hard to put down, and I loved every second of the race to the end.

Archer does a great job of making being a nerd cool. She is a master of creating a sweet love story between girls you would think would be total social opposites. This book, like others I have read by Archer, is YA/teen friendly so it can be suggested to those young girls just coming out. In fact both main characters deal with questions about their sexuality throughout most of the book.

"Screw it—I’m breaking the rules. I’m building a ’31 Coupe with my dad right now, all hopped up and ready to steal pink slips. Couple that with a new book I’m working on called Ten Against the World, about teen angst in the fifties, set against big ol’ Jack Kirby–style monsters, and you might begin to see why I hold The Blob so dear to my heart. It’s just fun. Live a little."
