Spring Break Reading

It's a Two for One Day

Some Books to Add to your Reading List!

For the "It's Gotta Have Action" readers:

I suggest

Two German youth who have no family to lose, find themselves recruited by the English to retrieve a "special" package and bring it back to England.  The package can stop the war?  You will just have to read the book to find out.

Why is it a fast-paced action fiction?  It's author is a screenwriter!

Book Two

Who Wouldn't Want Super Powers?

 

Can you stop a bus with just a glare?  Or make the prize basketball player of the other team miss a basket?  Would you like be able to get people do what you want them to?

Jax Opus learns that he has these powers.  Not has Jax learned about these powers, but Dr. Elias Mako, Founder and Director of Sentia Institute has learned about his special powers as well.  Dr. Elias Mako, who has devoted his life to New York City education and is an inspiration to every single one us (be careful of this phrase), has some plans for Jax.  Jax must decide how to use the special powers he now has.

Stealing Air

 

 

Wish  you could fly?  Take of into the blue skies with the wind blowing through your hair.  That experience of feeling free, and no one can touch you?

 

That is what Brian wants.  However, life comes crashing down when, his parents move him to Iowa.  Now he has to start life over in a small town with a big bully.

 

Join Brian and his nerdy friend Max, Alex the "wheeler dealer," and Wendy (the new love of his life?).
