This is a new addition to our Young Adult collection. Although I’m not a huge Sci-Fi fan, this book really reeled me in. Readers can only assume it takes place in our future, after something has 
happened to force people to live inside huge domes which simulate an outdoor environment. Everything is going along fine there (with each batch of new babies being genetically engineered, what could go wrong?), until one day a stranger comes along and takes away all of the “wonder babies” (the youngest members of society who are unusually bright). This doesn’t sit right with 13-year-old Martin, whose sister is among the newly missing. He sets out to find her and what he finds out along the way will keep you formulating new questions until the very end. The Sky Inside is unbelievably suspenseful and imaginative.

For months, my friends had been trying to get me to read the book Twilight. Everyone kept telling me, “The book was amazing!” At first, I did not believe them, because who wants to read about 
vampires and a small town? Eventually, though, my friends got me to read the first chapter of Twilight and I thought, “Well, you know, this is not too bad,” so I kept reading. Before I knew it I was done with that book and ready for the second one.
Twilight is about a girl named Bella. She is your average girl, just trying to get though high school one day at a time. Bella was doing just fine getting through high school, until she meets a guy name Edward who turns her life upside down.

The last book I read (in between semesters) was New Moon. This is the second book in the Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer. For much of the story, Bella is separated from her love, the vampire Edward. While this is heartbreaking, there is plenty of excitement as Bella’s friendship with 
Jake deepens and she discovers a secret about him (no spoilers here!).
School Library Journal says, “New Moon will more than feed the bloodthirsty hankerings of fans of the first volume and leave them breathless for the third.” This is one reader who will be reading the third and fourth volumes the first chance she gets.
Recommended for ages 15-adult.
