This unforgettable coming-of-age novel from Printz Honor winner & William C. award finalist was my first foray into the Young Adult (YA) genre. It was a terrific read that reminds you that who you are is not always who you‘ve been. People can be remade & remade again. Corrupt & decaying as the world—or one city—may be, there is something worth living for in every life. Really, when all is said & done, what‘s more Americana than that? - Shannon

In this book, historian & author Helen Rappaport illuminates the central figures in Victoria‘s life, including her family, her court, & her household staff. In short chapters, Rappaport shares a lot of info on Victoria, those around her, & England during her initial time as queen. In short, this book is a good reference & a glimpse at the woman who gave her name to one of the most productive ages in history. - Katina, Area Librarian #royalreads

Unhooked‘s twisted tale of Peter Pan isn‘t the Neverland of your dreams - it‘s the Neverland of your nightmares. It spins the classic fairy tale of Peter Pan & Captain Hook on its head. I‘ve read several retellings of classic fairy tales, but found many of them lacking. Maxwell‘s gift for story telling made me feel like I was on Neverland. There‘s a bit of everything in this enchanting tale: mystery, action, romance, & supernatural. - Katie #LPPL

This captivating work of historical fiction provides a view of life through the eyes of people who lived in Jesus‘ day. It is a man‘s world, to be sure. Maviah is a complex character who faces the worst this world has to offer & stands her ground. Danger & suspense, political intrigue & violence, & even encounters with Yeshua (Jesus) himself make for an unforgettable story. Adventure lovers won‘t be disappointed. - Lynette #LPPL #libraryreview

I have to admit I was curious when I heard that Tom Hanks had written a book, which turned out to be Uncommon Type. I didn‘t get a sense that any of these stories were biographical, but they are quaint, clichéd, & not particularly good. This book is earnest & well-meaning, like America & apple pie. Even his stories of war flashbacks & NYC in the ‘70s are too optimistic & gee-whiz cheerful considering what was going on during those times. - Helen
