The Perks of Being a Wallflower

by Stephen Chbosky
- Rated 4 stars
“Not at all what I thought!! I started the book a few days before Thanksgiving, and then put it down as LIFE took over. I resumed it today during my "lunch duty" and had to finish it this evening. Deep on so many levels. This is the "Somewhat Virtual Book Club" read for December 12. Now I can't wait to see what our teens and the teens form the other schools have to say about it. ”

The Scorpio Races

by Maggie Stiefvater
- Rated 4 stars
“GREAT read!! I had a hard time getting into the story initially, but once I was sucked in, I could not put it down. I had to stop and research the pronunciation of Cappail Uisce, the water horses in the story so I could allow my mind to absorb the story. It takes some time for the storyline to develop, but once that happens, its a QUICK read. I loved it. ”
