A world where madness was just a sunset away and fathers found hope in religion. For August and her girls, sharing confidences as they ambled through neighborhood streets, Brooklyn was a place where they believed that they were beautiful, talented, brilliant-a part of a future that belonged to them.īut beneath the hopeful veneer, there was another Brooklyn, a dangerous place where grown men reached for innocent girls in dark hallways, where ghosts haunted the night, where mothers disappeared. Running into a long-ago friend sets memory from the 1970s in motion for August, transporting her to a time and a place where friendship was everything-until it wasn’t. ![]() The acclaimed New York Times bestselling and National Book Award–winning author of Brown Girl Dreaming delivers her first adult novel in twenty years.

![]() In this book, the girls have their own personal dramas that they are dealing with. There are only two books left and we are building up to the final conclusion. This is a transitional book in the series. In Killer, the girls are still being tracked by new “A” and still following clues to find Ali’s real killer. ![]() Overall, I give this book four and a half out of five stars." Read more I highly recommend this to anyone who wants a good mystery. Killer by Sara Shepard, was such a good book. The girls are getting close to finding out who “A” is but they need more clues. And the texts continued, but now, the texts are getting threatening. The girls spent four years trying to figure out who “A” was. But as the years went on, “A” was sending texts that could tell the girls were definitely being watched. The girls thought it was just some random person who wasn’t even in the same state as them. When the girls first starting getting the texts, they were just signed “A” and nothing more. The girls are now juniors in high school, and still receiving texts from “A”. ![]() After Ali got murdered, the girls all receiving text messages from an anonymous someone who signed all the texts “-A”. This story starts when the girls were in sixth grade and on of their best friends, Ali, was tragically murdered. The protagonists of this story are Hanna, Aria, Spencer, and Emily.

It involves a mysterious (and not terribly bright) order of cloaked men who summon a dragon into Ankh-Morpork, in an ill-conceived plan to install their own king and rule the city. A few years later, in 1995, two developers named Teeny Weeny Games and Perfect 10 Productions, were more successful, and released the first point-and-click Discworld game. They didn’t succeed and instead made Simon the Sorcerer, which carried some of the same themes as the Discworld universe, but differentiated itself enough to stand on its own. In 1992, a company called HorrorSoft (later Adventure Soft) attempted to buy the rights to Discworld to create a fully graphical adventure game based on the license. ![]() ![]() They represent some of the best books of the year and should not be missed.Īll 101 books on this list are appropriate for readers two to twelve.įor your convenience, here are the categories of the list:įolk Tales, Fairy Tales, and Religious Tales Please be sure to stop by our library to request any of the titles you would like to see.
