Summer Reading...some interesting books!

This has been a busy summer at the library. I have read some great books and am still reading.
Here are a few of my favorites from this summer...

The Betrayal of Maggie Blair by Elizabeth Laird...17th century Scotland...witch hunts...God Save the King. great characters.
How They Croaked by Georgia Bragg...oodles of gross true tales of how some really famous people died, from Henry VIII turning to ooze and King Tut being autopsied the most times.
Young Fredle by Cynthia Voigt...adventure abound for this kitchen mouse...a little bit of Poppy, a little Terrible Trins.
The Friendship Doll by Kirby Lawson...a great story of a Japanese frienship doll given to the U.S. and how it affected 4 little girls lives over time.
The Silver Bowl by Diane Stanley... Molly is a seer(witch) like her mother...is it a gift? or a curse? In the service of the castle Dethmere, she is in for the adventure she never expected.
Beyonders by Brandon Mull...Jason is a modern kid who falls into another realm...can he do what is truly right and find a way home? The first in a series.
