Mrs. Mc

Mrs. Mc

I'm a HS Librarian and very interested in young adult literature. Please send a note to recommend any titles (fiction and nonfiction) that you really enjoyed and that you think teenagers would like too.
The books on this shelf are ones I've read that are also available for students in our HS Library. more »

    Curse of the Blue Tattoo has been taking up a lot of space in my paperback rack for a couple of years now. You've inspired me to dust it off and give it a shot. I can tell by your shelf that your serious about your stars.

    Have you read THE HUNGER GAMES by Suzanne Collins? From the blurb on the jacket I didn't think I'd like it, but I honestly couldn't put it down! I recommend it for middle school to adult and think your students would like it too. The second book in the series is coming out very soon. It's called CATCHING FIRE.

  • The Ancient One

    The Ancient One says

    There's a River (Winwood/Jennings)

    Steve Winwood

    There's a river pouring
    From a pure and a crystal stream
    And it carries my heart along
    Carries me all my life
    And I know it will bring me home

    There's a choir singing
    With a force that can light the sky
    I will join with a voice deep inside
    Anthems for joys gone by
    And for joys I am sure will come

    Golden treasure in the evening sky
    It's good to be alive
    Golden measure, hear the music cry
    When my heart sings
    Of golden things

    There's a dove ascending
    Like my thoughts in the summer sky
    And she carries my soul along
    Clear to eternity
    And I know I am not alone

    Golden treasure in the evening sky
    It's good to be alive
    Golden measure, hear the music cry
    When my heart sings
    Of golden things

    There's a river pouring
    From a pure and a crystal stream
    And it carries my heart along
    Carries me all my life
    And I know it will bring me home

    My gosh this evening I ran into a student I had years ago--didn't reven recognize him. Reminds me of when I was teaching the Civil War and had to put a unit together (for college) and my classroom was my laboratory (i.e. guinea pigs). I learned so much about Lincoln fro that which I hadn't known before. It is amazing how much history is out there that one doesn't even know about. And to think that back when we were in school we got a much better teaching of our history than what occurs now.

    Thank you for the tip about Levi's Will.

    I especially appreciate your mentioning the author Percy Jackson. I'll have to look into that for him.

    I'm not familiar with Chasing Lincoln's Killer either so another book to add to my list to look into.

    With you being from Lancaster you must love it with the heavy Amish/PA Dutch influence in that area. It's my favorite part of the country and one day I hope to relocate to York County/Adams County area or an area about 1 to 1 1/2 hours from the Lancaster area.

    Thank you again for the advice. I appreciate it immensely.

    I loved this book and I think many teens would like it. My daughter is going into 8th grade in the fall and I've already told her, that I think she'd love it and she'll be reading it next. I'll let you know what she thinks. The prose is a bit different, but I loved it. Another one (but might be more junior high) is Walk Across America. I liked that book a lot! And, I'm not sure what your schools rules are about language and such, but Angela's Ashes would be a great high school read, I'd think.
