Finally New Books!

This week Mrs. Wilson and I finally got a chance to finish processing some of the new books that I catalogued over the summer. Among these new items now on display in the New Book Section up front by the windows is Lockdown by Walter Dean Myers. Reese, a young teen in a juvenile corrections facility (prison), is trying to turn his life around and win an early release. His crime was stealing a doctor's prescription drug pad and selling it to a drug dealer. The only bright spot in his home life is his much younger sister who is smart and aiming for strong future. With anger issues of his own, Reese gets help from an unlikely source, a cranky old man at his work release program. Like Monster, Myers's prison story from a few years ago, Myers is able to tell a young man's story as though the teen was talking directly to the reader. You will root for Reese as he tries to prove he has a chance at a normal life.

Also now available is Book 6 of the Ranger's Apprentice series - The Siege of Macindaw and Book 5 of The 39 Clues series - The Black Circle. More books in both of these series will soon be available.
