Susanna's Pick
Fairest by Gail Carson Levine
This is an adaptation of Snow White and an enduring childhood favorite. You may recognize the author from Ella Enchanted, a Cinderella retelling that became a movie starring Anne Hathaway. I recommend all of Levine’s books wholeheartedly.

Brenda's Picks
North of Nowhere by Allison Brennan
A perfect blend of adventure and mystery set in the Montana wilderness during a snowstorm. It is filled with action and suspense and is very interesting with the horrible family dynamics of a crime organization. This book was fast paced from the beginning and was hard to put down!
The Little Liar by Mitch Albom
Inspired by what really happened to 50,000 Jewish people living in Greece during the Holocaust. 11-year-old Nico Krispis never told a lie. When the Nazis invade his home, a German officer convinces Nico to persuade his fellow Jewish residents to board trains heading to “new homes” where they are promised jobs and safety. Only after it is too late does Nico discover that he helped send them to their doom at Auschwitz. Nico never tells the truth again! A must read!
