Recommendation: The New Policeman

The New Policeman by Kate Thompson
(Click here to find a library copy.)

Recommendation by Alana
Should we keep it?  YES
Why?  This book has a lot of Irish mythology in it, which separates it from a lot of the modern fairytale stories out there.  It's appropriate for just about everyone, and it has traditional Irish music in it (which I am just dying to hear played).  J.J. is a relatable protagonist, Aengus is just downright gorgeous, and getting rid of either this book or its sequel (The Last of the High Kings) would be a crime.  Plus, it's one of my very favorite books.

This book was part of the Last Call book display in the teen section during November and December. Thanks to everyone who participated! If you still have slips, no worries. Just bring them in by the end of January.
