BARKLEY, BRAD AND<br />
HEATHER HEPLER<br />
SCRAMBLED EGGS AT MIDNIGHT<br />
“Calliope once lived happily with her<br />
artist parents. Then her mother decided<br />
to find herself, and now she and her<br />
daughter pack up and go at a moment’s<br />
notice….Eliot once lived with his normal<br />
family on the Carolina coast where they<br />
were all very happy. Then his father<br />
found God and dragged them to the<br />
woods to start a Fat Camp….In alternating<br />
chapters, readers follow Cal and Eliot<br />
as they struggle with growing up, finding<br />
themselves, and finding one another…[a]<br />
strong, quirky story of love and family.”<br />

BAT-AMI, MIRIAM<br />
TWO SUNS IN THE SkY<br />
“During World War II, a group of<br />
European refugees are sent to Oswego,<br />
NY. The story is told through the eyes<br />
of Adam Bornstein, a 15-year-old Jewish<br />
boy from Croatia; and Chris Cook, a 15year-old<br />
Catholic Irish-American girl....<br />
The young people come alive through<br />
the author’s effective, alternating firstperson<br />
narrations through which readers<br />
gain a sense not only of the characters’<br />
feelings, but the feelings of the two<br />
different communities as well.…a fine<br />
novel based, in part, on real-life incidents<br />
now more than 50 years passed, but still<br />
relevant today.” —School Library Journal<br />

prom at her Philadelphia school is a big<br />

likely candidate to save the prom after<br />
a troubled math teacher makes off<br />

humor with honest questions about her<br />
future…teens will love Ashley’s clear<br />
view of high-school hypocrisies, dating,<br />
and the fierce bonds of friendship.”<br />

SPEAk<br />
Melinda Sordino busted an end-of-summer<br />
party by calling the cops. Now her<br />
old friends won’t talk to her, and people<br />
she doesn’t even know hate her from a<br />
distance. The safest place to be is alone,<br />
inside her own head. But even that is not<br />
safe. “Anderson perfectly captures the<br />
harsh conformity of high-school cliques<br />
and one teen’s struggle to find acceptance<br />
from her peers.” —BooklistH<br />
