A great one in the fantasy genre
This was a terrific story of intrigue. Sunny is a young albino woman living in Nigeria. She discovers that she has special powers and becomes friends with Chichi, Orlu and Sasha. As a team they are being trained by a local wizard and other mentors of a group that is fighting for good. An evil force that they are needed to dismantle is the Black Hat who is a serial killer of young children. Each of the young people are learning about their powers and growing in their experience of their abilities. The juju (powers) that they are finding out about are very amazing. This has great elements of fantasy in it and is well set up for another book! It is enjoyable to learn about another culture and it is also good to note that teens are similar wherever they are. Also, the librarian loves that a library serves as "headquarters".
Figuring out love
Ooh, another Sarah Dessen book, I liked this! Remy is the protagonist and she will be leaving for college in the fall so she decides to undertake a summer romance with Dexter. Things stupidly fall apart for them so toward the end of the book when they get realigned it is terrific. Remy is carefully watching relationships around her. Her mother is a romance writer who has been married several times and is currently married to a bozo. Her brother has a girlfriend who has "changed" him but also can be controlling. And her friends are in assorted stages of dysfunction! It is no wonder Remy is grappling with how this all works. The title refers to a song that her father wrote for her when she was born and that song became a "one-hit wonder". Then her father died so this is the only connection she has to him. Dexter is in a band and is unknowing about the story behind the song. His band does a rendition of it...you will have to read the book to see how "This Lullaby" all comes together!
I Heart you, You haunt me.
"Ava can't see or touch him, unless she's dreaming. She can't hear his voice, except for the faint whispers in her mind. Most would think she's crazy, but she knows he's here. Jackson. The boy Ava thought she'd spend the rest of her life with. He's back from the dead, as proof that love truly knows no bounds"

This book is set in the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis. The book is very cool. It has posters and pictures from the Cuban Missile Crisis. The author made me feel like I was there.

Some of my favorite poems are in here. Some rhyme, some make you laugh, some are sad, but this is one of the best poem books.
