Winter Reading

Need a book (or two) to get you through the winter break? The library has lots of new books, perfect for curling up with a cup of hot chocolate. New titles include:



The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan.

The latest book from a favorite author.

Jason, Piper, and Leo, three students from a school for "bad kids," find themselves at Camp Half-Blood, where they learn that they are demigods and begin a quest to free Hera, who has been imprisoned by Mother Earth herself.





Love, Ruby Lavender By Deborah Wiles

If you are dreaming of summer, this book is for you.

When her quirky grandmother goes to Hawaii for the summer, nine-year-old Ruby learns to survive on her own in Mississippi by writing letters, befriending chickens as well as the new girl in town, and finally coping with her grandfather's death.






Wolf Brother by Michelle Paver

The first book in a 6-book series. Guarunteed to get you hooked!

6,000 years ago, twelve-year-old Torak and his guide, a wolf cub, set out on a dangerous journey to fulfill an oath the boy made to his dying father--to travel to the Mountain of the World Spirit to destroy a demon-possessed bear that threatens all the clans.





Misson Control, This is Apollo by Andrew Chaikin and Alan Bean

Space! Who doesn't like space?

Recounts various important events from the history of space exploration, covering the Mercury missions, the voyage of Apollo 17, and more, with illustrations by ex-NASA astronaut Alan Bean, who walked on the moon during the Apollo 12 mission.




Athena, Grey-Eyed Goddess by George O'Connor
