September 2008

September’s roundup of New in Paperback titles includes SNAKEHEAD, the seventh installment in Anthony Horowitz’s action-packed series starring 14-year-old secret agent Alex Rider; THE NAME OF THIS BOOK IS SECRET, an exceptional novel featuring two intrepid 11-year-olds, evil villains and a mysterious box with secret potions, narrated by the unknown Pseudonymous Bosch; STARCROSS, the sequel to Philip Reeve’s LARKLIGHT, in which the main characters hurtle into an adventure complete with time travel, mind-controlling headwear, dastardly foes and heroic exploits; THE JADE DRAGON, Carolyn Marsden and Virginia Shin-Mui Loh’s story of a young girl who delicately navigates between her Chinese culture and her friendship with the new girl in second grade; and three books that will get readers in the holiday spirit early this year: JUDY MOODY & STINK: THE HOLLY JOLIDAY, THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS and CHRISTMAS TAPESTRY.
