The books I will be promoting at schools across the city are:
The Danger Box by Blue Balliet
Trackers: Book one by Patrick Carman
We the Children by Andrew Clements
The Secret Science Alliance and the Copy Cat crook by Eleanor Davis
The Courageous Princess by Rod Espinosa
Ancient Strange and Lovely by Susan Fletcher
White Crane by Sandy Fussell
Boom! by Marc Haddon
Archvillain by Barry Lyga
Cyberia by Chris Lynch
The Candy Shop War by Brandon Mull
Best Friends Forever: A World War 2 Scrapbook by Beverly Patt
Masters of Disaster by Gary Paulsen
The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place by Mayrose Wood
And now I've got to finish reading all of them and write annotations and practice sharing them so that it takes about 10 minutes! Of my initial goal... I've actually only fully read 5 of the books on my list (and 2 of them are graphic novels!)
Ones that I think will be particularly popular are, Trackers by Patrick Carman and Archvillain by Barry Lyga.
Trackers is an intense hi-tech mystery, where a group of talented teens have to outwit a dangerous computer hacker. There is an online component to this novel that makes reading this book more of an interactive experience. This is also a book that probably will be out-dated in just a few years due to how fast technology is changing.
And Archvillain is kind of a superman story but told by a boy who, despite his efforts to be the hero, somehow becomes an archvillain!
