Ask a Librarian!

 

The Wheel of Darkness

by

Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child

 
FBI agent Aloysius Pendergast and his ward, Constance Greene, fall into a dangerous assignment at a remote Tibetan monastery when they are asked to recover a stolen relic with a deadly curse.

NOTE:  Part of the Pendergast series of books.

**Available from another school.  Ask a librarian to borrow it for you.

 "It's a mystery and horror novel. Everything in this book is realistic; even if it seems like magic anywhere in the book, you'll see how possible it all is by the end if not before. It has a great plot and is very suspenseful and is just a very great book to read."

Flowers in the Attic

by

V. C. Andrews

Chris, Cathy, and the twins are to be kept hidden until their grandfather dies so that their mother will receive a sizeable inheritance, however, years pass and terrifying things occur as the four children grow up in their one room prison.

 

“I enjoy this book and think others will too.  I would recommend this book because it holds your attention; it opens our minds to less acceptable ideas, and is written by a controversial author, allowing you to examine the writing styles and techniques of such an author.”

"I really enjoyed the suspenseful dialogue from the characters. It really drew me in as a reader."

Jude

by

Kate Morgenroth

Still reeling from his drug-dealing father's murder, moving in with the wealthy mother he never knew, and transferring to a private school, fifteen-year-old Jude is tricked into pleading guilty to a crime he did not commit.

 

 

 “Jude is a character students can relate to.  It was just amazing to discover how his life was manipulated almost from birth by people he should have been able to trust.  The book was filled with real examples for young people to see how being in the wrong place at the wrong time can truly make you vulnerable.”
