What shall I read?

A couple new suggestions

Fly by Night
by Frances Hardinge
An orphan and her homicidal goose battle censorship in an 18th century England that never really existed. This quote will tell you all you need to know about the tough-minded main character:
"Look at us, we're thieves, and mill burners, and spies, and one of us is a cutthroat as well. We're Criminals of the Murkiest Hue, and we're not even very good at it."



Chicks Ahoy

by Lynda Sandoval

Camille and Jane are teens working on a cruise ship under eagle-eyed supervision of the captain (Camille's dad) when they learn what it REALLY means to be BFF.
I admit the author is my friend, but I'd love her writing even if she weren't. Lynda Sandoval is ALWAYS funny, but her work is NEVER junk-food for the brain!

ON THE FRINGE
edited by David R. Gallo
Writers you'll recognize took the shootings at Columbine High School to heart and asked themselves what it meant to be different in school today. In these stories you'll see yourself and people you know. Written by ten different authors, some stories are violent, some are darkly funny and all, at least to me, were painful to read. So why read them? Because they'll nudge you toward standing up for what you believe, even when it's easier to turn away.
