New Sequels and Series

A big pile of books hit my desk this morning. I'll do this in a couple of posts over the next couple of days, but to start, here are the sequels and series.

Faerie Lord by Herbie Brennan, is the 4th in the series that started with Faerie Wars. This one has Henry and Blue trying to stop a plague that is making the inhabitants of the faerie realm age far too quickly. Surprisingly, the hold list is short on this one today. I suspect that will change quickly when people realize that it's available.

It Had to Be You by Cecily Von Ziegesar, is the prequel to the Gossip Girl series. That pretty much sums this one up.

Payback by Melody Carlson is the latest in the Secret Life of Samantha McGregor series. This one has Samantha trying to prevent the violence that she has visions of happening at the prom.

True Talents and Hidden Talents by David Lubar is a series about a group of boys at an alternative school who discover that they have psychic powers.

We now have 4 books in Clare Bell's series, The Named - Ratha's Creature, Clan Ground, Ratha and the Thistle Chaser and Ratha's Challenge. This series follows a group of intelligent cats, 25 million years in the past. If you finished the Redwall series and the Warriors series, you might want to check these out.

Voyage of the Slaves by Brian Jacques is the latest in the Flying Dutchman series. Continuing their adventures through space and time, Ben and Ned find themselves in the Mediterranean in 1703, pursued by Barbary slave traders.

A lot of good stuff! Check 'em out. Look for more in the next couple of days.
