What's New?

Ah, I'm glad you asked. Here in the library we always have a good collection of reading material, but right now we have a PARTICULARLY great selection of new books. Here are some of them:

The Entertainer and the Dybbuk by Sid Fleischman. When the Great Freddie, a mediocre ventriloquist in Paris, gets possessed by the spirit of a Jewish boy killed in the Holocaust, his act goes through the roof. But the dybbuk, the spirit, has more on his mind than Freddie's career. Light and very heavy at the same time, this novel puts the cabaret stage in front of a very serious backdrop in history.

Uncharted Waters by Leslie Bulion. It's summer, and it should be a great one. Jonah and his sister Jaye are spending it with their Uncle Nate on the coast of Rhode Island. But a couple of secrets weigh heavily in Jonah's heart, and he's learning that keeping these secrets can lead to dangerous places.

Football Genius by Tim Green. When you're twelve and you can hurl the football almost 40 yards, that's good. But when you can tell what plays the other team is going to run even before they do them, that's unbelievable! That's Troy's genius, and he wants to use it to help his favorite team, the Atlanta Falcons. How would you get a professional football team to listen to you? Written by former Atlanta Falcons linebacker Tim Green, Football Genius is a great first novel.
