One of the most interesting books I read this summer is Daniel Ehrenhaft's Drawing a Blank, or How I Tried to Solve a Mystery, End a Feud, and Land the Girl of My Dreams. Besides having one of the long titles in the IMC, this book combines a narrative story about a boarding school boy, Carlton Dunne IV, with episodes from Carlton's graphic novel. Through his novel Carlton lives his dreams of high adventure and romance until the day his father is kidnapped. Now Carlton is teamed up with a beautiful Scottish girl Aileen who wants to be an American police officer as they try to locate an ancient Scottish dagger and rescue Carlton's father. Many pages of the book contain footnotes with Carlton's comments, historical facts and fictional details, and even a recipe for bannocks. Like I said this one has eveything! Join Carlton and Aileen as they roam the Scottish countryside with adventure and mystery.This book and many other new books are displayed in the New Book Section found along the Non-fiction wall.
