2. “The Night Circus by: Erin
Morgenstern. It’s so mysterious
and strange. I’ve never read
anything like it!”
- Sarah, Junior
“Graphic novels. I didn’t realize
the library had so many!”
-Seth, Freshman
“To Kill a Mockingbird by:
Harper Lee. Technically, I’m
reading it for class, but I’m really
enjoying it. And it seems like
every adult I meet wants to talk to
me about having read it as a kid.
It’s kind of cool, actually how
excited people get about my
reading this book.”
-Tiffany, Sophomore
“Dandelion Wine by: Ray
Bradberry It takes such
unexpected turns. It’s part
nostalgic small town summer
adventure, part sci-fi, part
mystery. It’s just great.”
–Mr. Harrison, AP History
Teacher
“Cosmos by: Carl Sagan. It’s
nerdy, but his writing about the
universe is weirdly poetic. It’s a
cool book.” -Ms. Kennedy,
Science
“Manga. Lots of Manga”
-Kenji, Freshman

By popular
demand, it’s
finally here: the
next in the
Magisterium
series by Holly
Black and
Cassandra Clare.
After a less than
restful summer
break, Callum
Hunt to the Magisterium -- but
things only intensify there. The
Alkahest –a copper gauntlet capable
of separating certain magicians
from their magic -- has been stolen.
In their search to discover the
culprit, Call and his friends Aaron
and Tamara awaken the attention of
some very dangerous enemies and
get closer to the truth about Call’s
destiny than ever before.
On a "perfect" fall day,
seventeen-year old
Natasha Kingsley and
her family are twelve
hours away from being
deported to Jamaica.
Tasha decides to take a
long shot and visit the
United States
Citizenship and
Immigration Services
(USCIS) to hopefully
convince someone to let
her stay, to not pay for
her father's mistake.
United States Citizenship and
Immigration Services (USCIS) to
hopefully convince someone to
let her stay. She never expected
to meet someone and fall in love
with him on the very same day.
Daniel and Natasha are funny,
real, and loveable characters
you’ll feel like you’ve known for
years.
