What's Mrs U Reading Now?

The Chosen One by Carol Lynch Williams is next on my list. All I know is that it is about a girl who lives in a cult and was well reviews by Booklist and School Library Journal. With recent news headlines about girls escaping this type of life, I'm curious to see how the author handles the topic...

Storm Runners By Roland Smith

"Chase Masters and his father are storm runners, racing across the country in pursuit of hurricanes, tornadoes, and floods. Anywhere bad weather strikes, they are not far behind. Chase is learning more on the road than he ever would just sitting in a classroom. But when the hurricane of the century hits, he will be tested in ways he never could have imagined."

This is a quick fun read that has lots of action. I preferred Mr. Smith's other series that started with Cryptids, because I happen to like science fiction, but this one is enjoyable too. This one seems to be much more realistic and will be perfect for those students who come in for an action book. It is obviously the beginning of a series, and is new, so you may have to wait awhile between publications...
