How To Use This Book List

Many of the books here are written for young adults. However, some are definitely adult books. I don't always specify in my comments; however if you are interested in a book, find it at the library. If it's in Juvenile Fiction or Young Adult Fiction, it's usually safe for kids 12-15 (be sure to preview just in case). If the book is found elsewhere, you can always ask a librarian for their input.
Personally, a few swear words don't do much for me, so I don't usually remember they are in there. Other types of content, however, are usually commented on.
Enjoy!!

p.s. Please leave a "care-to-share" (aka, comment) anytime you like.

Rebel Fire (Sherlock Holmes: The Legend Begins #2)

by Andy Lane

I have not read any of Doyle's works, but have thoroughly enjoyed this branch of the Sherlock Holmes story.  Young adults and adults alike will find this adventure grasping, exciting, and an overall enjoyable read.

The Paris Wife

by Paula McClain

I really didn't know much about Ernest Hemingway previous to reading this book.  Focusing on his first wife, Hadley, it gave great insight into his writing.  She was an amazing person.  Great book!

The Enchantress

by Michael Scott

The sixth and final book in the series, The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel, is amazing!  I assumed Sophie would be the focus, but as the culminating book, each character gets a little time and the entire series truly comes together.  I enjoyed all six books, but this one is by far my favorite!

The Warlock

by Michael Scott

Book five in The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel, the character we follow closely is Josh Newman.  At fifteen, he is still trying to figure out who to trust, who will deceive him, why his is needed in this adventure, and why Sophie sees things so differently from him.  Loved it!!

The Necromancer

by Michael Scott

This is the fourth installation in The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel series.  In this book, we learn more about Dr. John Dee; his history, his purpose, his power.  I enjoyed it!!
