New Paperbacks!



I've ordered some new paperback series for you readers in fifth through eighth grades and they should be in soon. We have the first three books in the "My Sister the Vampire" series by Sienna Mercer. Ivy and Olivia, twin sisters that were separated at birth, meet when Olivia moves to a new town. The new school is kinda creepy and old and alot of the kids dress in black. Olivia and Ivy, extreme opposites in many ways, realize that they must be twins as they share birthdays, wear identical rings from their birth parents and were born in the same town. The usual humorous twin switching occurs and things seem great--until Olivia finds out that Ivy is a vampire.
I've also ordered the Red Rock Mysteries. Written by the authors of the Left Behind series, Jerry B. Jenkins and Chris Fabry, this Christian series finds Bryce and Ashley (more twins!) embroiled in one mystery after the other. I have heard from other librarians that this series appeals to guys so read up! This series would be best suited for fifth through eighth graders.
I have also received some of the Jake Maddox's sports books in time for summer reading. (Hey! Summer reading begins June 11th! Our theme is "Get in the Game, READ!") "Board Rebel", "Motocross Doublecross", "Slam Dunk Shoes" and "Snowboard Duel" are currently on shelf and there are more to follow! Fourth through eighth grader sports fans will enjoy these!
