Do you have a 10 -14 year old who likes scary or creepy books? The new book The Forgotten Girl by India Hill Brown will be right up their alley. On a cold winter night, two girls sneak into the woods to play in the fresh fallen snow. Making a snow angel one of them uncovers a crumbling gravestone of a young girl. Soon strange things begin to happen, she has vivid nightmares, sees a shadow of a girl lurking in the dark and more. Can they figure out what is going on before something terrible happens?
Younger readers, especially boys just beginning to read chapter books will enjoy a new series by Kevin Lovegreen called ‘Lucky Luke’s Hunting Adventures.’ Try Fishing Frenzy or Whitetaill Adventures for great stories of spending time in the outdoors.
Picture book fans will look forward to reading The Perfect Seat by Minh Le and Gus Gordon or The Little Snowplow Wishes for Snow by Lora Koehler or Please Don’t Eat Me by Liz Climo or for the curious one with a million questions Just Because by Mac Barnett.
For anyone who is curious and wants to know more about the world, juvenile non-fiction can’t be beat. There are some absolutely marvelous books to enjoy from Firefighter’s Handbook by Meghan McCarthy for the kid or adult who wants to know more about what it takes to be a firefighter. Ever wonder about maps, who makes them, how they are made and more borrow the stunning Manhattan: mapping the story of an island by Jennifer Thermes. And animal loves will enjoy the latest ‘Scientists in the Field’ title Saving the Tasmanian Devil by Dorothy Hinshaw Patent.
The library will be closed on Monday, January 20th in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
