Recent Returns

Some books that have recently come back to the Library:

Turnabout by Margaret Peterson Haddix - Melly and Anny Beth were 100 when they received shots that reversed the aging process; now they're only teens, again. The problem is that the second shot, to stop the aging process, instead kills the recipeints. So Melly and Anny Beth are looking for someone whom they can trust, to care for them backwards into infancy. Can they find anyone except The Agency? Can they trust anyone, even The Agency? 22 circs just here at Central. One of my favorite authors!

Kiki Strike Inside the Shadow City by Kirsten Miller. Ananka Fishbein didn't realize that looking out the window and paying attention could lead to a life-changing event. But when she discovers a sinkhole near her New York City apartment, and ventures to explore, she meets Kiki Strike, and adventures abound! Very exciting, and there is a sequel. 29 circs

Cardcaptor Sakura: Master of the Clow by CLAMP. Unfortunately, we only have volume 5 remaining in our collection, but it is still a great adventure. 57 circs!

Laika by Nick Abadzis. Laika was an abandoned puppy who was fated to become Earth's first space traveler. An exciting true story with a heartbreaking ending. 4 circs for this graphic novel. Only 4 circs.

The Mammoth Book of Best New Manga 2, edited by ILYA. 23 self-contained new color and black and white manga in all genres by many authors; a great way to find a new favorite! 25 circs.
