Great New Series Books!

Looking for a new series to get you (or your teen) through the cold winter months? I sure have been! So give these FANTASTIC titles a try...

Take a look and use the "Comments" field to let Sarah and I know what you think!

THE EXTRAORDINARY ADVENTURES OF ALFRED KROPP (Rick Yancy)
For fans of the Stormbreaker series and Ranger's Appprentice!

"Astonishingly tall 15-year-old Alfred is plunged into a world of adventure, assassination, and Arthurian legend when he agrees to help his uncle filch an ancient sword from the office of a CEO who just happens to be a descendent of the Knights of the Round Table. Of course the sword turns out to be none other than Excalibur, and the guy Alfred swiped it for is Mogart, a knight-gone-bad who hopes to use its magical powers to take over the world..."


H.I.V.E. (HIGHER INSTITUTE OF VILLAINOUS EDUCATION) (Mark Walden)
For fans of Harry Potter and The Lightening Thief!

"H.I.V.E. is operated on a volcanic island in a distant ocean by G.L.O.V.E., a shadowy organization of worldwide wickedness. And, as 13-year-old master of mischief Otto Malpense soon discovers, here the slickest of young tricksters, thieves, and hackers have been brought against their will to be trained as the next generation of supervillains..."


THE WARRIOR HEIR (Cinda Williams Chima)
For fans of the Pendragon series and Ranger's Apprentice books

"An apparently ordinary 16-year-old boy turns out to have magical powers that make him a target of a covert society of wizards, enchanters, and warriors called the Weir. Jack's small-town world in Ohio begins to unravel when he starts to unleash unintentional bursts of wizardry. When he recovers a powerful sword from an ancestor's grave, he begins to realize how different he really is."


HAPPY READING!
