What if you lived between and across from three members of the mafia? April and her family lived there quietly minding their own business, until one day, things started to happen. April and her friend were asked to walk with the son of one of the mafia members to school every morning, and they are finding money hidden in their books-lots of money! Once you take money from the mafia, they own you! To make matters worse, April’s brother is in love with the daughter of one of the mafia members-a big mistake if you want to stay alive and in one piece! Besides the mafia, April likes a boy her parents and even her best friend don’t approve of. How will April get all this straightened out? Will her brother survive? Will things work out with the boyfriend? To find out, read Brothers, Boyfriends & Other Criminal Minds by April Lurie.

Book Talk-I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You
I’d Tell You I Love You, But Then I’d Have to Kill You
By Ally Carter
Imagine if you went to a school that taught you how to be a spy! Cammie Morgan is fluent in fourteen languages and is capable of killing a man in seven different ways (one of which includes a piece of uncooked spaghetti!) Cammie attends the Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women, but the one thing they haven’t taught her is what to do when she falls for a boy who thinks she’s an ordinary girl. He likes her too, but he can never know the truth about her, or will she have to kill him? She can tap his phone, hack into his computer, and track him through town without him knowing, but can she have a relationship with a normal guy who can never know the truth about her? Will Cammie pass her Covert Operatives exam where she is kidnapped, and her classmates have to rescue her and capture a disk? What will happen when the school (where her own mother is the headmaster) finds out about Josh? To find out, read I’d Tell You I Love You, But Then I’d Have to Kill You, by Ally Carter.

Book Talk-The Secret Life of Sparrow Delaney
The Secret Life of Sparrow Delaney
By
Suzanne Harper
Fifteen year-old Sparrow Delaney has a deep dark secret. She doesn’t want to even let her family know about it, and she’s afraid everyone at school will think she’s a freak if they find out. When Sparrow starts tenth grade at a new school, she thinks finally she has a chance to start over. Will it be easier to keep her secret? Sparrow just wants to be normal and live an every day teenage life. You see, since she was five years old, Sparrow has been able to see, hear, and talk to ghosts. This is a normal thing for her family and even the town where she lives, but it is not normal for everyone. Even her family pressures her to try to “serve spirit” because they know she should have special abilities. Sparrow is the seventh daughter of a seventh daughter. She has six older sisters and a grandmother living with them who does jujitsu in the back yard next to the grave stones of her four dead husbands. What friends would you want to bring home?
Just as Sparrow has made a new best friend in her new school, and also has her eye on Jack, a mysterious cool guy in her class, another boy wants Sparrow’s attention. Luke happens to be a dead boy who just won’t leave her alone until she helps him contact his family to right a wrong so he can Move On in the after life. In order to help him, Sparrow will have to give up her secret that she’s worked so hard all her life not to let anyone know. Will she help Luke, or let his family wonder what happened to him, and everyone else think the worst about his father? To find out read The Secret Life of Sparrow Delaney by Suzanne Harper.
