The Latest "Gatekeepers" Plus a Bestseller

Two more new YA books just hit our shelves.

The first is the latest installment of Anthony Horowitz' Gatekeepers series, Evil Star, the sequel to Raven's Gate. Matt thought his troubles were over when he closed Raven's Gate, but in fact they are just beginning. His fate--and the fate of the world--is tied to four other kids across the globe. But destiny is going to throw them together as the evil threat of the Old Ones grows.

Endymion Spring by Michael Skelton looks quite interesting and was recently on the New York Times bestsellers list. Here's the blurb from the book jacket:
"You've stumbled on to something much larger than you can possibly imagine." In the dead of night, a cloaked figure drags a heavy box through snow-covered streets. The chest, covered in images of mythical beasts, can only be opened when the fangs of its serpent's-head clasp taste blood. Centuries later, in an Oxford library, a boy touches a strange book and feels something pierce his finger. The volume is blank, wordless, but its paper has fine veins running through it and seems to quiver, as if it's alive. Words begin to appear on the page--words no one but the boy can see. And so unfolds a timeless secret . . .

Latest "A-List" Is In

The latest in Zoey Dean's The A-List series, American Beauty, just came in. Both copies had holds already so you'll need to get in line.
