In James Patterson's blockbuster series, fourteen-year-old Maximum Ride,
better known as Max, knows what it's like to soar above the world. She
and all the members of the "flock"--Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gasman and Angel--are
just like ordinary kids--only they have wings and can fly. It may seem
like a dream come true to some, but their lives can morph into a living
nightmare at any time...like when Angel, the youngest member of the flock,
is kidnapped and taken back to the "School" where she and the others were
experimented on by a crew of wack jobs. Her friends brave a journey to
blazing hot Death Valley, CA, to save Angel, but soon enough, they find
themselves in yet another nightmare--this one involving fighting off the
half-human, half-wolf "Erasers" in New York City. Whether in the treetops
of Central Park or in the bowels of the Manhattan subway system, Max and
her adopted family take the ride of their lives. Along the way Max discovers
from her old friend and father-figure Jeb--now her betrayed and greatest
enemy--that her purpose is save the world--but can she?

All
I Want Is Everything by Cecily Von Ziegesar
Hardcover from Little Brown and Company
ISBN: 0316701521
"Lovely Rita, Meter Maid" and "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" are as
much part of popular mythology as "Little Dorrit" or "Macbeth". Strawberry
fields, fool-topped hills and long and winding roads are all part of a
collective subconscious stretching from New York to New Delhi. This book
tells the story behind every one of The Beatles' songs. Who was Eleanor
Rigby, and was Polythene Pam a figment of John Lennon's imagination or
a real flesh-and-blood person? What stories and emotions influenced them
and how do they reflect the development of The Beatles' distinctive musical
style?
S and B and J and N are back, along with A, D, V, and assorted other
rich, catty Manhattan teenagers in this third installment of the Gossip
Girl series. An omniscient and anonymous narrator keeps track of the scene
in www.gossipgirl.net (now an actual site), where the rumors fly, backs
are stabbed, and celebrity sightings are dutifully reported. Serena (S)
and Blair (B) are best friends again, shoring each other up as Blair faces
life without her ex, Nate, who has hooked up with a sweet, busty 14-year-old,
and Serena fends off advances from drop-dead-gorgeous rock star, Flow.
Life's rough. Meanwhile, Vanessa and Dan play the will-he/won't-he game
of sex, and Aaron tries to thwart his own crush on new stepsister Blair.
They're the teens you love to hate, and yet it's not all trash. Beneath
the designer name-obsessed veneer and the nasty soap opera quality of Gossip
Girl novels, there's plenty that's true and real for any teenager. Angst,
creative passion, love, college applications, drinking, smoking, sex...sure,
these kids are obnoxious and spoiled, but their core issues are not a million
miles away from every other teen's. And you know you love it. (Ages 14
and older) --Emilie Coulter
