This incredible and haunting graphic novel by writer and illustrator, Pam Smy tells the story of an institutionalized orphan in 1982 and is told through both her written diary entries and the pictorial viewpoint of a girl in 2017 who moves in next door to the condemned institution. Both sad and spooky, this graphic novel calls on plot elements from great classics such as The Secret Garden, Jane Eyre and Frankenstein! 

Check it out and let me know what you think! I loved it!

This adventure / fantasy by German author, Mechthild Gläser, is one of my favorite, recent reads! It is brand new to our library and one that you should not miss. It is the author's first book translated into English from her native German language and combines mystery, fairy tale elements, romance and adventure in a fast paced book that both guys and girls will thoroughly enjoy. Come and check it out today and post what you think in the comments section below! It is okay if you do not agree with my opinion, but please use netiquette when expressing your opinions. In other words, be polite and appropriate when expressing your views. Hopefully you will have fun with this book. 
On a side note, my sister, Ms. Williams read it as well and since she knows some German, she contacted the author on Facebook and posted in German about how much she enjoyed it and the author wrote her back in English. Her new book in English will be ordered for our library in the Spring!!!
