This week the Library has a couple more book reviews by Natalie Williams. As with the earlier reviewed books, these are considered to be in the “young adult” genre. by Brandon Sanderson How far would you go for revenge if someone killed your father? If someone destroyed your city? If everything you ever loved was taken from you? David Charleston will go to any lengths to stop Steelheart. But to exact revenge in Steelheart’s world, David will need the Reckoners—a shadowy group of rebels bent on maintaining justice. And it turns out that the Reckoners might just need David too. by Jennifer L. Holm 1855. The unknown wilds of the Pacific Northwest—a land not yet tamed, and certainly not fitting for a proper young lady! Yet that’s just where Miss Jane Peck finds herself. After a tumultuous childhood on the wrong side of Philadelphia high society, Jane is trying to put aside her reckless ways and be accepted as a proper young lady. And so when handsome William Baldt proposes, she joyfully accepts and prepares to join him in a world away from her home in Washington Territory. But Miss Hepplewhite’ s straitlaced finishing school was hardly preparation for the treacherous months at sea it takes to get there, the haunting loss she’ll face on the way, or the colorful characters and crude life that await her on the frontier. Other new arrivals include 'Sparrow Road' by Sheila O'Conner, a young adult contemporary novel, and 'Summers at Castle Auburn' by Sharon Shinn, a young adult fantasy novel. They are ready for your approval so stop in and check them out. |
