<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />On Caitlin's sixteenth birthday she wakes up to find her older (and only) sister Cassi gone; and so begins a tumultuous year. Caitlin attempts to find her own way in the world--traveling a different road than her sister may have taken, perhaps one less perfect. However, when Caitlin makes the cheerleading squad, she wonders how different a path she has actually chosen. It is after a cheerleading event that Caitlin meets Rogerson Biscoe, a handsome boy with wild hair, money, and a car. Caitlin and Rogerson quickly becomes a couple and although Caitlin falls hard for him, the reader quickly realizes that their relationship is far from perfect when Rogerson hits Caitlin, first once and then regularly. Caitlin loves Rogerson so much that she does not tell anyone about the abuse. Will Caitlin come to her senses and break things off with her abusive boyfriend or will someone else have to intervene on her behalf before it is to late?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /><b>M's Verdict... </b></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Popular YA author Sarah Dessen always weaves a great three-dimensional tale that keeps readers hooked.

So I chose </span><i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Dreamland</i><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">. It's a great read on a story that's not often told. What happens when you or someone you know is in an abusive relationship? There seem to be enough headlines and Lifetime movies about husbands or jealous boyfriends who kill their wives or girlfriends, so it seems appropriate to use this storyline in a fiction novel for a teen audiences. Having said this, I do wish that this story had wrapped up a little differently. [Without spoiling the ending] I don't wish that the ending was more Disney-esque, but I would have been more impressed with an ending kind of like in </span><i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><a href="http://catalog.ccpa.net/ipac20/ipac.jsp?session=134203Y8J878B.3863&profile=internet&uri=link=3100006~!1344359~!3100001~!3100002&aspect=subtab222&menu=search&ri=5&source=~!horizon&term=By+the+time+you+read+this%2C+I%27ll+be+dead+%2F&index=PALLTI" target="_blank">By the Time You Read This I'll be Dead</a></i><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> by Julie Anne Peters; where there were additional resources at the end of the book that provided the reader with information and help regarding the tough subject of the book (in the case of Julie Anne Peters's book: teen suicide/bullycide). Dessen's book was the perfect medium for discussing abusive teen relationships, but past finding some solace in the fictional story, it would have been nice to provide readers with some additional resources. Overall...good dramatic story with realistic issues that provide the opportunity for great educational discussions that could help bring about awareness regarding abusive relationships.</span></div>Meaghanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12724108484174906294noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26517073.post-25872050906230989152012-07-16T09:00:00.001-04:002012-07-16T09:00:13.000-04:00Weekly Challenge: Week of July 16, 2012<br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>Author:</b> <a href="http://www.ghostmedicine.com/Ghost_Medicine/Ghosts.html">Andrew Smith</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>Owned by CCLS? </b>Yes</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />Stick, the boy born with only one ear, and his older brother Bosten live in Washington state with their parents. Due to his lack of an ear, Stick gets made fun of and is constantly harassed by his classmates at school. Fortunately, Bosten is usually there to put the bullies in their place; unfortunately, when the boys get home, they are usually faced with even bigger, more serious issues. Their parents enforce strict rules in the house that include only weekly showers, a strict dress code, hair length requirements, and regular beatings and visits to St. Fillan's room.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />When it is revealed to the boys's father that Bosten is gay, Bosten suffers through one final beating before he decides to run away. Having no one left he can count on, Stick also finds himself on the run, in search of Bosten. Along the way, both brothers experience additional tragedies and events that test their strength and ability to hope for a better life. In the end...will things get better and will Stick find Bosten?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>M's Verdict</b>... Intense read! I chose to read this particular novel because I wanted a story that was written by a male author and featured guys as the main characters. Ater reading Stick, I would certainly read another of Smith's books. The story was believable and so terrible that I couldn't stop reading--I had to know how it ended! Despite Bosten and Stick's terrible home, once Bosten runs away and Stick takes off after him, the road to finding his brother and perhaps a better life, takes both boys through terrible encounters that may just be worse than what they left. It's a great story of survival, hope, and taking a stand for yourself, no matter what. I recommend this book to older teens, both guys and girls looking for something different to read.</span>Meaghanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12724108484174906294noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26517073.post-77704249034215712502012-07-09T09:00:00.000-04:002012-07-09T09:00:02.743-04:00Weekly Challenge: Week of July 9, 2012<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />Picture this... you are a great swimmer who attends a private school in Florida on a swimming scholarship and it's abundantly clear that everyone at school despises you. Somehow, despite the lack of camaraderie that you feel, you find yourself going on an overnight class field trip to the Everglades. <br /><br />When a cute boy invites you on an airboat tour, what do you do? Do you throw away the chance of a personal tour of the Glades in order to spend another minute with your snobby classmates, or would you take the cute boy up on his offer? What's the worst that could happen, right?<br /><br />A real adventure of two teens who end up stranded in the Everglades with one Gatorade bottle, a can of Spam, and a duckling named Teapot. Will they make it out alive?<br /><br /><b>M's Verdict: </b>Talk about an adventure! After I read Rorby's novel I found out that it was based on a true story, which made the story even more horrifying. I cannot imagine being left stranded in the Everglades, with little to no food and water, and being surrounded by gators, snakes and wild hogs--NO THANKS! Definitely don't pick this book up if you're planning on traveling to Florida anytime soon, but do pick this book up if you're looking for a book that keeps you hooked until the end. It was intense, terrifying, and I couldn't wait to know whether Sarah and Andy would ever make it out of the Glades alive!</span>Meaghanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12724108484174906294noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26517073.post-11561509140913197882012-06-28T12:00:00.000-04:002012-06-28T12:00:01.873-04:00July 2-5 Teen Summer Reading Program Events<strong style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-large; line-height: 17px; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #823734;">Upcoming Teen Events @ FRE</span></strong><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">Just a reminder: remember to cut more than enough thread. You can always trim it shorter, but you can't easily add on! (When doing the above friendship bracelet, measure from your shoulder to the tip of your middle finder--arm fully extended. This should give you plenty of thread.)<br /><br />Enjoy!</span></span>Meaghanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12724108484174906294noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26517073.post-49555219982150404722012-06-18T09:00:00.000-04:002012-06-18T09:00:09.882-04:00Weekly Challenge: Week of June 18, 2012<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>TITLE: </b><a href="http://catalog.ccpa.net/ipac20/ipac.jsp?session=133892N5236Y9.6024&profile=internet&uri=link=3100006~!1344359~!3100001~!3100002&aspect=subtab222&menu=search&ri=1&source=~!horizon&term=By+the+time+you+read+this%2C+I%27ll+be+dead+%2F&index=PALLTI">By the Time You Read This, I'll Be Dead</a><br /><b>AUTHOR: </b>Julie Anne Peters<br /><b>OWNED BY CCLS? </b>Yes.</span><br />
<b><br /></b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">High school student Daelyn has been bullied her entire life; for being fat, for being there; really just because she's an easy target. Due to her various past traumatic experiences, Daelyn has attempted suicide multiple times. She is fed up with the bullying and is determined to end it once and for all. After "Through the Light.com," which is a forum for those who want to end their lives, Daelyn makes a "Date of Determination" and begins counting down the days. Will Daelyn go through with her final suicide attempt and end her life? Or will Daelyn begin to feel less depressed, become less of a target and learn to trust others again and live? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /><b>M's Verdict: </b>Going into this book and having liked all of the other Julie Anne Peters books that I had previously read, I was a bit surprised at how much more intense and dark this novel was. I kept tensing up for the very depressing and terrible ending that seemed to be inevitable! I couldn't stop reading! By the time I was done reading, I can truthfully say that I was mentally and physically exhausted. This story is not for the faint of heart and it's definitely not a fun or light read. This story, although rather depressing is quite relevant to today's generation of teenagers and does provide some uplifting moments and great resources at the end of the book. This is definitely a great book for discussions on bullying and bullycide and if anyone reads the book and wants to talk about it, I'd love to be a part of the conversation.</span>Meaghanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12724108484174906294noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26517073.post-29984115061912988362012-06-04T16:49:00.000-04:002012-06-05T17:03:43.458-04:00Weekly Challenge: Week of June 4, 2012<br />

The story was a relevant coming of age tale that not many books address so well. Perhaps the story may have been more authentic coming from someone who was biracial and was able to give the story a more personal touch, however I did enjoy it. Nina is a believable chigh school student with a typical HS friend whose your BFF one day and then the friend of your enemy. I liked how Nina's father's book about their slave ancestry gave the reader a historical look into the past and compared situations in Nina's realistic and present world to the world of a slave. This book would be a great transition into historical fiction and would provide any teen with a great story on figuring out who you are and how your family stories help to shape who you become.</span><br />

<span style="color: black;">So, it's one month after <em>The Hunger Games </em>was released in theatres and you've read <em>The Hunger Games </em>and maybe, just maybe (or more than likely), you decided to keep reading and have read <em>Catching Fire </em>and <em>Mockingjay </em>and are done with Suzanne Collins's trilogy. Well, now what should you read?</span><br />

Stay tuned for a list of survival, adventure, and dystopian fiction novels. Perhaps one of the books on that list (forthcoming) will help fill the gap until the next HG movie (or book?) is released.</span></div>Meaghanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12724108484174906294noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26517073.post-16928807322249521652012-04-26T19:25:00.002-04:002012-04-26T19:26:44.436-04:00Mr. Death's Blue-Eyed Girls / Mary Downing Hahn<div>

<strong>AUTHOR</strong>: <a href="http://www.hmhbooks.com/features/mdh/bio.html">Mary Downing Hahn</a><br />
<strong>OWNED by CCLS</strong>? Not yet.<br />
<br />
Two teen girls are shot and killed while on the way to school... it was the last day of school before summer break. Everyone in town is sure that the killer is the ex-boyfriend of one of the dead girls, but the police don't have enough evidence to hold him.<br />
<br />
What if everyone thought you were guilty of such a horrible crime when you were innocent? And all the time the real killer was still out there...<br />
<br />
<strong>M's Verdict:</strong>Eh. Mary Downing Hahn ghost stories tend to be really popular with local middle school students, so I thought I would see what all the fuss was about. I am going to assume that this book is a little different from her regular tales, because from reading just this one novel, I do not see what all the fuss is about. I'm thinking that since the author based this novel on a real-life murder that took place during her younger years and affected her personally, she got so caught up in the emotions surrounding the horrible tragedy that she was unable to separate and create an enjoyable fictional tale of murder, intrigue, and mystery. The result? An "eh" fiction novel that would have been better presented in a nonfiction format. Also, being based on a murder that happened in the 1950s, I feel that some of the details in regards to brand names, activities, and style/fashion would likely be lost on the intended teen reader. Overall, I'd say skip it and try one of her ghost stories like <em>Deep and Dark and </em>Dangerous<em>, </em>All<em> the Lovely Bad Ones</em>, <em>Wait Til Helen Comes</em>, or <em>The Old Willis Place</em>. <br />
<br />
<strong>M's Extra Note... </strong>So I read this book and wrote this blog post awhile back. Now after having read a few books since, I must admit that <em>MDBEG</em> does have something special that not many books have. As a historical fiction novel, I would recommend it. As a true-life mystery or as realistic fiction, I can't say it would be my first choice. But this novel might be a great transition for readers who like Hahn's other works; ghost story to historical fiction.</div>Meaghanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12724108484174906294noreply@blogger.com0
