Witch & Wizard by James Patterson and Gabrielle Charbonnet: The world is changing: the government has seized control of every aspect of society, and now, kids are disappearing. For 15-year-old Wisty and her older brother Whit, life turns upside down when they are torn from their parents one night and slammed into a secret prison for no reason they can comprehend. But while trapped in this totalitarian nightmare, Wisty and Whit discover they have incredible powers they'd never dreamed of. Can this newly minted witch and wizard master their skills in time to save themselves, their parents--and maybe the world?

Candor by Pam Bachorz: For a fee, "model teen" Oscar Banks has been secretly--and selectively-- sabotaging the subliminal messages that program the behavior of the residents of Candor, Florida, until his attraction to a rebellious new girl threatens to expose his subterfuge.

Soulstice by Simon Holt (The Devouring book 2): As the summer solstice approaches, fifteen-year-old Reggie, horrified to learn that the Vours are still intent on harming her family and her best friend Aaron, finds help from an unlikely source.


Winter's child by Cameron Dokey: After Grace rejects next-door neighbor Kai's love, he dreams of a dazzling Snow Queen, who entices him to leave home and wander to faraway lands, prompting Grace to realize how much she has lost and set out on a mystical journey to find him.

Take a minute; this is great!

Peggy who works at the adult service desk sent this to me. I thought it was great. Of course I now want to go out and buy that game. Do you think I could pass this off as exercise to justify it?
