Book Recommendation:

The Orphan Band of Springdale

by Anne Nesbet (Find me in the Romance section).

With the United States on the verge of World War II, eleven-year-old Gusta is sent from New York City to Maine, where she discovers small-town prejudices — and a huge family secret. It's 1941, and tensions are rising in the United States as the Second World War rages in Europe. Interesting from a historical perspective, it is a warm friendly book that celebrates family and female friendships.

The Island

by C.L. Taylor (Find me in the Mystery/Crime/Suspense/Thriller section)

Seven days. Six teenagers. One deadly secret. Who will escape? It was supposed to be the perfect holiday: a week-long trip for six teenage friends on a remote tropical island. But when their guide dies leaving them stranded, the trip of a lifetime turns into a nightmare. Because someone on the island knows each of the group's worst fears. And one by one, they're becoming a reality. Seven days in paradise. A deadly secret. Who will make it off the island alive?

We look forward to seeing you in the library soon! Come and find the perfect book for you.
