Recent returns

Lock and Key by Sarah Dessen - 71 circs for 4 copies of this book by an incredibly popular author - Ruby is alone; come to live with a wealthy sister she hasn't seen in ten years. Everything seems to be going just great, but Ruby finds she can't open up, can't relax and accept her good fortune. Only Nate, the boy next door, seems to understand, maybe because of the secrets he's keeping...

The Giver by Lois Lowry - 9 copies with over 150 circs! This is one of my all-time favorite books. Jonas lives in a seemingly ideal world, but when he becomes the Giver's apprentice, he begins to understand too much about his society's deeper secrets. Can he break free of society's expectations and do what he knows is right? And will it lead to good, or evil, if he does so?

Raised by their Aunt Lovey, abandoned by their mother, living in a country farmhouse, they are now nearly 30. It is time to tell the story of their lives, as they have lived it, wrapped in each other's arms. A powerful story of love and connection.
