Here's to the first of hopefully many posts about some of the hottest new books geared towards tweens. Hi, I'm Toni Howe, a 5th & 6th Grade Center librarian for the past two years, and a children's librarian since 2000. I love what I do and helping to match the right book with the right student. I'm an avid reader and enjoy reading from a great variety of genres, although I'm a big fan of fantasy in particular.
One book I just finished today, The Hound of Rowan, falls into this category. It is about a boy who has a vision and then is whisked off to a special boarding school to discover his hidden talents. Of course, there's adventure afoot as he tries to outwit the evil vyes (shape-changing wolf-beasts) who are trying to kidnap him to find out the details of his vision. This book is currently on the Missouri Truman Award Nominee list for 2009-2010, geared toward students in grades 6-8.
Well, till tomorrow, Keep reading!
