1056^book^Hiaissen^Bad Monkey^Funny, adult book about a cop, a detached human arm, a crazy monkey, unscrupulous land developers and wild times in Florida. Not for kids-
1057^book^Hirsch^Eleventh Plague^The world's population has been decimated and Steven, his father and grandfather live as scavengers.

First in a series
1064^book^lu^Young Elites^This book is so dark and I do not recommend it for middle school even though her other books were appropriate for that age. An illness had killed many children throughout the country. Some of the ones who lived were left with special powers. I couldn't decide who was really the bad guys here. The good guys were cruel and the heroine of the book is really dark. I did not like this book.
1065^book^Lyga^Blood of My Blood^The final book in the I Hunt Killer trilogy. This one takes up right where Game leaves us with Jazz and Connie in terrible trouble. It is so exciting and excruciating in the tension that we know that Dear Old Dad is back and after the kids. I loved it.
1066^book^Lyga^Hero-type^Not my favorite Lyga book. Kevin is in the right place at the right time to save a girl from being murdered so everyone thinks he is a hero. He knows he was there for another reason and doesn't really relish the hero label. Then he is seen pulling off yellow ribbon stickers from his bumper and he is villified as unpatriotic. This is a book about free speech and thought. It might get a little preachy.
1067^book^McCormick^Cut^ST (Silent Treatment) is the nickname for a girl in Sea Pines, a residential treatment center for girls with issues. She is a cutter and, while she doesn't talk, she does think during the Group therapy sessions. This book is a favorite.

It all goes crazy when they are separated. The mission to stop the marriage of Queen Levana and Emperor Kai finds them all working together. Great book. I can't wait for the next book.
1071^book^Meyers^Invasion^I thought this was going to be the story of the segregated Army with Richie's  (from Fallen Angels) dad but he is just a secondary character and this is the story of D-Day in all its terrible truth.
1072^book^Morley^Above^A Bluegrass award book with a twist. Blythe is 16 when she is abducted and put in an underground silo.

Lo and behold, the world has been devastated. WHat will she do now?
1073^book^Murdock^Front and Center^Third book in the Diary Queen series and I don't know why I hadn't read it till now. I loved the first two and loved this one as well. D.J. is back to playing basketball, is over Brian Nelson, her brother Win is still in rehab for his paralysis and she and Beener start dating. College scouts are looking at her but she has to step up her leadership skills on the court. She has it-she just can't seem to talk which is kind of a Schwenk thing. She is such a great girl, not perfect but good and kind. This is a great book for your girl athletes.
1074^book^Murphy^Side effects may vary^Alice got diagnosed with leukemia and she enlists her best friend Harvey to help her complete a not-too-nice bucket list.

1078^book^Reddy^Burning Nation^ Second book of the Divided We Fall series. Idaho has rebelled against the United States and Danny and his friends vow to uphold their state. Lots of gritty action and scary premise.

1081^book^Riggs^Hollow city^Second Miss Peregrine book.

A stranger arrives and demands that Sig turns over the money that his father had stolen. They are dirt poor and there is no way that his father has any hidden money. OMG! This is so good!

1098^book^Werlin^Rules of Survival^Matthew is 17 and he is writing a letter to his little sister to tell her how to survive their abusive mother. He relates their past and his effort to help his two sisters. Fans of the Child Called It will like this one. It is really, really good.
1099^book^Whelan^Homeless Bird^Koly is an 13-yr.old India girl whose arranged marriage starts out terribly when she finds out the boy is ill and his parents wanted her dowry to take him to the Ganges for a miracle cure. When he dies, her mother-in-law treats her cruelly and ends up abandoning her in a town filled with widows. How Koly survives and thrives is amazing. This is a book of fiction, of course. There is some criticism that the book is factually incorrect so I would use caution if a teacher wants to use the book in a class. 
1100^book^Wiles^Countdown^First book in the Sixties trilogy, this book is set in 1962 during the Cuban Missilie Crisis. This is a great format of a docu-drama with lots of extras including posters, speeches, etc. of the time. It is really unusual but I can see this being used in a history class in middle school. The terrifying world of Franny, a 12 year old girl on an air force base outside of Washington, DC. They actually taught kids to "duck and cover" if a bomb hit. I loved it.
1101^book^Wiles^Revolution^Second in the Sixties trilogy, this book is set during Freedom Summer in Mississippi. Jo, Franny's older sister, has gone to Mississippi to help register voters. This book is told by two kids, one white girl and one African American boy who are experiencing their town in very different ways. I would highly recommend this as a class read since the author has provided so much additional material on Pinterest. The book follows the same docu-drama formula as the first one. Very good for middle school.
1102^book^Wolf^The Watch that Ends the Night^Subtitled Voices from the Titantic, this has about 20 different passengers talking about the voyage from Millionaire John Aster to a girl that is immigrating from Lebanon. There is a voice from the iceberg itself and even a ship rat. It is completely historically accurate with the voices and so interesting. Loved it.
1103^book^Wolitizer^Belzhar^The death of Jam's boyfriend has thrown her into such a downward spiral that she ends up in a special boarding school for kids with issues. She is lucky to have a great roommate and makes close friends with four other students who are in a class called Special Topics in English. Each of these kids have suffered a trauma and, through writing in a special journal, they are allowed to go back to the time before the trauma. When they discover this abillty, they name the place Belzhar-a take off of the book they are reading Bell Jar. They realize that everytime they visit pages fill in their journal. Each has to decide what will happen when the journal is filled. Very good-
1104^book^Woodruff^Orphan of Ellis Island^Dominic's family situation isn't good and he really wants to know what it is like to be in a family. On a school trip to Ellis Island, he falls asleep and is left behind. Somehow, he is magically transported back to early 1900s Italy where he meets his grandfather and great uncles as children. Sweet story.
1105^book^Yancey^Infinite Sea^Second part to 5th Wave-Cassie and the remaining friends are still fighting the Others. Ringer is the featured character in this one and the book explains how the Others had accomplished their evil mission. Of course we won't have any answers until the third book comes out.
1106^book^Zadoff^I am the Mission^Seond one of the Unknown Assassin series. I love this series! Boy Nobody's true training is in doubt by the Program. He almost messed up on the last mission (I am the Weapon) so now he is targeted with killing the leader of a military training camp (brainwashing camp) He doesn't get it done in the way that was assigned and ends up in the camp, against strict orders. Boy oh boy does he find out things about the Program! Really good--
