Kiki strikes again!


The new book is called "Kiki Strike: the Empress's Tomb." Cool as usual. And if you haven't looked at the website kikistrike.com from the last book, do it now, pleeese. Little things like this impress me.

"Ananka Fishbein, Kiki Strike, and the other Irregulars encounter a Chinese mummy, a ghost, trained squirrels, and old enemies as they try to stop an art forgery ring and safeguard the secret streets hidden beneath New York City."

Book Recommendation: The Year Of Secret Assignments

Has your teacher ever given you one of those writing assignments where you have a pen pal in another school? And what if that school's students had a really, well, rough reputation? What would you write?

Best friends Lydia, Cassie and Emily find themselves in that exact situation. And while they never thought that they could gain anything at all from this experience, all of them gain something - and it's more than each of them bargained for.

Check out Jaclyn Moriarty's The Year Of Secret Assignments for the results of an English experiment gone haywire. You'll love what these friends get into, and will love reading how they get out of it.
