Cannibals, Death, and Brothers

A few more new books have trickled in. Here's some detail:

Are We There Yet? by David Levithan has 16-year-old Elijah and his 23-year-old brother Danny, polar opposites who barely tolerate each other, being tricked by their parents to go on a trip to Italy together. While there, Elijah falls for a girl who later decides that she really likes Danny, leading both brothers to examine their lives and relationship.

10 Things to Do Before I Die by Daniel Ehrenhaft. As a joke, Ted's friends make a list of things he really should do before he dies. When Ted finds out that he's been poisoned and only has 24 hours to live, it's time to pull out the list.

The Cannibals is the sequel to Iain Lawrence's The Convicts (see What Mrs. N's Been Reading - The Convicts for my review of that one). In this one, Tom and Midgely escape from the prison ship taking them to Australia, and head for a remote Pacific island.
