Some great Spring Break reads!!

I read some great books over the break, and I hope you did too! Below are some new reads and some oldies but goodies!!! I recommend them all!

I  could not put Dead City down.  My first year in the Christie Library, this series was never on the shelf, and now I know why.  This is the first book in a 3 book trilogy. Student by day, zombie hunter by night, Molly Bigelow goes to MIST  (Metropolitan Institute of Technology and Science) where she learns her mom  was part of an elite zombie hunting group. Some great twists and turns with this book!!

In Nic Stone's first middle grade novel, Scoob finds out  some really interesting and unsettling things about his grandmother when she takes him on a last minute road trip through the South. Scoob gets a big history lesson from his grandma as they visit places his grandma and grandpa visited many years before.  Scoob learns some things about his grandparents and the green book they used that he cannot believe!! This is an educational and powerful read!

I am about done with this older Bluebonnet book and what a gem it is! Those students that love reading about the Nazi's and WWII will love this book. Odette is a young French, Jewish girl living in Paris during WWII. As the Nazi's move into Paris, her mother takes her to live in the countryside where they can hide in plain sight. She goes to school and church like everyone else. Loved this free verse poetry story of a courageous and determined young girl.
