Well, I have a few things to mention, today.
The Superman Chronicles, Volumes 1-3. These volumes start with the very earliest published Superman comics and go forward in exact chronological order. Each of these volumes has checked out at least 8 times. Have fun discovering the origins of the Superman story!
Yurara, Vols 1-3 (4 and 5 are "newly acquired" and will be available soon). Follow Yurara as she learns to use her power to see spirits to do good. Vol 1 has over 20 checkouts, and the others are not far behind.
Runemarks by Joanne Harris is both an audiobook and a print book. Maddy Smith was born with a rune (ruin)mark on her hand, she fears it means she is a witch; but when mysterious "One-eye" the traveler arrives, she discovers her true destiny - saving the world. The audio has nine checkouts, while the book has 7.
Last but not least, I want to mention a book that has failed to be checked out even ONCE. It is called "In the Small". Due to some slight adult content (brief above-the-waist nudity) and some rather graphic violence (a cat eating a person, a snake getting speared through the head), this book is shelved on the "adult side" in the 741.8 numbers. So if you're under 14 or so, you may want a parent to glance at this with you. But the story is exciting. It follows a family (in two places) after a terrible explosion causes every surviving human to be miniaturized to about 6" tall. The family struggles to survive (accidents, animal attacks, scavenging supplies) and reconnect with each other. The will to survive is all that remains...
Give this book some attention! Sometime (in 2010?) it may become a movie!
