Read CRAZY with Mrs. Cooper!

In Han Nolan's Crazy, fifteen-year-old Jason's mother recently died and his father suffers from mental illness, and so it makes sense that Jason is a little bit unnerved by it all.  Never fear--he has imaginary friends to help him deal!  In a humorous but heart-wrenching story, Jason learns how to manage life as a teenager without support from parents.  

Read ASHFALL with Mr. Knight!

Imagine:  the Yellowstone Supervolcano erupts, and debris smashes your house--in Cedar Falls, IA.  Your parents are out of town, so you do the obvious:  pack up and trudge through the ashy, desolate landscape that was once Iowa and go out to find your parents.  Read great science fiction and adventure when you read Ashfall by Mike Mullin.

Read ENDER'S GAME with Ms. Lechtenberg!

Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card is one of those books I've been meaning to read for years--and this is the summer I'm finally going to do it.  It's about a futuristic society that breeds genius children to fight against hostile alien attacks.  Ender Wiggins is sent to military training at the Battle School, an orbiting training center.  There's a recent movie, and I've just heard too many people say "You HAVEN'T READ Ender's Game yet???  What's wrong with you?!?"  So I'm going to read it!  Join me, and post your thoughts below.
