1. SCAT by Carl Hiaasen 810L Mrs. Bunny Starch, the most feared biology teacher ever, was last seen during a field trip to Black Vine Swamp. The school’s headmaster and the police seem to have accepted the sketchy, unsigned note explaining that her absence is due to a "family emergency." There’s no real evidence of foul play. But still, Nick and Marta don’t buy it. Something weird is definitely going on.
   
2. THE NAME OF THIS BOOK IS SECRET by Pseudonymous Bosch 810L Eleven-year-old schoolmates Cass and Max-Ernest are nothing alike. Max-Ernest is small for his age. He likes to tell jokes and talk non-stop, even when no one is listening. Max-Ernest has a logical mind. He likes to study, make observations and think things through. He cuts every hair on his head the same length because he "doesn’t like to favor one hair over another." He is used to being teased and ridiculed and having his lunch stolen, yet he never lets what other people say upset him. But he is pleased when Cass becomes his first real "friend." Cass is a survivalist who has no time for trivial matters --- or friends.
   
3. THE LAST OLYMPIAN (PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS, #5) by Rick Riordan 810L All year the half-bloods have been preparing for battle against the Titans. Now it’s up to Percy Jackson and an army of young demigods to stop the Lord of Time. As the battle for Western civilization rages on the streets of Manhattan, Percy faces a terrifying suspicion that he may be fighting against his own fate.
