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.
- 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.
- 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.
