12 Days of Christmas! Day 12- The Night Circus

The Night Circus

By Erin Morgenstern

Why has a sequel not come out about
this book yet?  Do you like magic?  Circuses?  Imagine a world where you had the power to do phenomenal things, but there was a price to magic.  There are different ways of teaching and learning, and magic is something that has to be studied quite strictly.  But what do you do when the two people meant to battle to the death magically end up falling in love?

This was quite hard to put down.  I absolutely love this book.  Love!

12 Days of Christmas! Day 11- The Outsiders

The Outsiders

By S. E. Hinton

This book is amazing!  Think of a combination of Romeo and Juliet and West Side Story, but then written in a way that allows young people and young adults to fully understand the differences in society and how every action you take has a consequence.  Though love isn't the driving force in this book, this book will cause you to reevaluate your life.  Everything you have and take for granted someone else may be struggling to obtain.  Not everyone is of the same class, and although people have vastly different experiences, it doesn't mean that you should think less of them.

My students loved this book and felt quite connected to it.  We had a dress up day and not only my students, but the whole school participated.  The students loved how the book had them evaluate how they would react in scary situations and they learned from class discussion that not everyone lives the same way.

12 Days of Christmas! Day 9- The Alchemyst: The Immortal Secrets of Nicholas Flamel

The Alchemyst

The Immortal Secrets of Nicholas Flamel

By Michael Scott

One of my absolute favourite more recent YA book series.  These books are the most amazing mixture of history and fantasy.  Some historical people/creatures/gods make appearances, and most of the time they are portrayed acting the same way that they would have during their life span.  With tons of twists and turns, there is always something bigger and more surprising around the corner, even if you think you've figured out what is going on.

Two teenagers, Sophie and Josh, become involved in a legend.  The legend of Nicholas Flamel.  Supposedly Flamel can never age, and his secret is in a particular book.  A book that Dr. John Dee intends to steal.  A book that could have dire consequences in the wrong hands.

These books are incredibly hard to put down.  Buy them and you will be living with legends, Sophie, and Josh for a while.
