Rainy Day Books

Head to your local library and get some books to stay inside with. It is supposed to rain well into the weekend and you don't want to get bored, do you? Check out our catalog to see if these books are at your library. If they are at another branch or checked out you can place a hold and the library courrier will bring the books to your library sometime in the future.

Identical

I just finished Identical by Ellen Hopkins. For those of you who are not familiar with Ellen, her other books include Crank, Glass (Sequel to Crank), Impulse, and Burned. I have to say that although Identical is not my favorite, I was once more floored by her insight into an issue that many young adults from many different backgrounds struggle with everyday. As her free verse creates a visual representation of the story on the page, her characters come alive. They are not shallow like so many others. They think and feel deeply as if they are real. If you choose to read Identical and you love it as much as I did, consider the recommendations below.

Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chobosky

You Don't Know Me: A Novel by David Klass
