Check Out These Books!

I was really sick last week, so that's why you haven't seen me at the desk. I have been at home in bed. Of course, I read tons of stuff, so it wasn't a total waste. And I am back in business now, so see you all this week!

Feeling Sorry for Celia and The Year of Secret Assignments by Jaclyn Moriarty
When a private school english teacher hatches a plan to have his students become pen pals with the public school kids down the road, he has no idea what forces he is unleashing in the community! These companion novels follow the same letter-writing project, which inevitably leads to rude graffiti, hate mail, chance meetings, love letters, revenge plots, date plans...and much more!

Girl, 15, Charming But Insane by Sue Limb (NEW!)
"...seeks, well, seeks Ben Jones, but failing that, seeks large burka-type garment to cover her deformities." Jess Jordan's hilariously overactive imagination complicates her life, but it will keep you entertained!

So Yesterday by Scott Westerfeld
Did you ever wonder why certain things become trendy? Or who starts clothing and enteratinment fads? Or what would happen if marketing became sinister????

The Teacher's Funeral by Richard Peck (NEW!)
Russell Culver is fifteen and itching to leave his tiny town for adventures in the Dakotas. When the schoolteacher dies, Russell figures that the schoolhouse will bel shut down for good and he can get on with his life. No such luck, though: the new teachers is the stuff nightmares are made of!
