The Last Thing I Remeber by Andrew Klavan

Truman Nominee 2011-2012

I normally have a picture of the book cover--unfortunately  it is not working...Is this a conspiracy? 

Are the homelanders watching this site?

"Suddenly I woke up, strapped to a chair."

Why is Charlie West here being tortured?  What is going on--he just had the best day of his life.  He is great at Karate and he has a new girlfriend.  Her number is written on his arm....wait where did it go?  This is one of those fast paced, action packed adventures that leaves your heart pumping and your mind thinking..."How is he going to get away this time?"

A Farwalker's Quest by Joni Sensel

Truman Nominee 2011-2012

  From Fool to one of the most valuable folks around--A Farwalker, and she is the only one left alive.  So what can a farwalker do that someone else can't.  It seems that Ariel has many talents--She has a bead that will help her light the darkest corners of a cave.  She has the skills of a healtouch.  She has the courage to move forward in danger.  She has power when she needs it.  She has the skills communicate with the dead (o.k. so far just one dead person).  When she can't do something she has friends that can help help.  What else do you need for a journey.

I found myself with her, every step of the way.  From the time she began her Naming Test, to being kidnapped for a dart.  I mean a telling dart with secret message.  It is this message that tends to bring the Finder's looking for her.  They are not coming to help her out!

Witch and Wizard by James Patterson and Gabrielle Charbonnet

So whart are some of the worst things about being a witch or wizard?

1.  Not knowing that you are one until you are older.

2.  Not knowing your special powers.

3.  Not being able to use them whenever you want.

4.  Living during the time of the New Order.

These are just a few of the things that happen in this action pack story of Whit and Wisty.  They are abducted from the beds at night and accused of being a witch and wizard.  But are they really.  During the time of the New Order, their world has turned upside down and they need to work together to turn it back.

First Lines::

It's overwhelming. A city's worth of angry faces staring at me like I'm a wicked criminal--which, I promise you, I'm not.

Scorch Trials by James Dashner

So I read the first, and now I have just completed the second--this for the heavy duty survivalist readers, If the griever's were not enough in the mazerunners, we have Cranks and other creatures to get through to end the experiement.  Is there an end to the experiment itself?  The author describes the book with bits of terror sprinkled through out.  I think it's somewhere between "sprinkle" and a "down pour" of terror.

I really need another Spring Break to relax--For those who like the Hunger Games series, and other survival type books, this one is for you.

To the students who like to have a little "blood and guts" you will also enjoy this book--

For those who want one more book--Yes, there is another book. 

My question.  How much more can they take?

Don't forget to check out the author site for book trailers, a game, and blog.
