Left Behind - Imagine that suddenly millions of
seemingly random people vanish into thin air. Cars are left without
drivers, airplanes without pilots, parents without children. Those left
behind are people that must not only deal with the wreckage, but they
must also try to come to terms with the actual disappearances of friends
and loved ones. What happened? Was it aliens, a new form of nuclear
technology, the end of the world, or a prophecy of The Bible that
is being fulfilled? In this first book of the Left Behind series,
LaHaye and Jenkins draw readers into a captivating story of the human
condition. Reviewed by Lori, University City Regional

characters are here: Sally Sweet, a cross-dressing drag queen; Lula, the
250-pound ex-hooker who works for Stephanie’s cousin ,Vinnie; and
Grandma Mazur, who packs a Glock and is always looking for a little
action. Another funny romp through the underside of Trenton as only

High Five - Stephanie Plum, a bounty hunter in
Trenton, New Jersey, is almost out of work. She is reduced to taking on
odd jobs for the mysterious Ranger, whose activities are often illegal,
but never immoral. She searches for Fred, her missing uncle, becoming
involved in a murder, a car bombing and an embezzling scheme. You'll
meet ex-prostitute, Lulu; the illusive Joe Morelli; stun-gun toting
Grandma Mazur and Stephanie's horrified parents who want her to work in
the local button factory. Throw in a cliffhanger of an ending and you'll
be entertained until the very last paragraph. Reviewed

Appear). Unfortunately, the suspect is Ranger, her bounty-hunting

grandmother, a couple of inept wise guys, and the handsome detective who
has been tormenting her since high school. Fans of humorous mysteries

Stephanie Plum series. Reviewed by Sarah, Independence

The Cat Who Robbed a Bank -Jim Qwilleran and his
Siamese cats, Koko and Yum Yum are involved once again in a murder in
Pickax, on Michigan’s Upper Penisula. Braun’s gift of description
brings the county Highland Games, local activities and eccentric
characters to life. Qwill interprets the cats’ antics as important
messages from the cat mind. He notes each incident and goes about his
nosy, news gathering reporter’s life. The author leaves no question
about Koko being “the brains of the family” while making the reader
wonder if there isn’t more between Polly and Qwill than the newsman
admits. Another great read for cat lovers. Reviewed

Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
-
Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone - Harry
Potter was just a regular kid. At least for a little bit of his
lifetime. He was sent away to his Aunt and Uncle's house after his
parents had died. The Dursleys had a son named Dudley. He was an
over-sized boy who was always mean to Harry. One day Harry found out he
was a wizard. He then went away to a wizard school named Hogwarts. He
learns what magic is and he also learns many spells. When he is there he
becomes star of the Quidditch team. This book is my third favorite ever.
Its only competitors were the other two Harry Potter books. I liked it
because it had a lot of action and excitement. The book seems so real
you can imagine the character's faces. Reviewed by

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets - Back
for his second year of wizard school, Harry Potter reunites with many of
the characters from the first novel in this series, and finds a new
famous wizard as the professor of Defense Against Dark Arts. Harry
quickly becomes involved in a mystery dating back 40 years involving
Hagrid, and the Chamber of Secrets. Entwining the past and present, the
book draws suspicion on all with twists and turns coming from every
direction. An excellent book whether read alone, or with the rest of the
series, it is a fast-moving, exciting tale that you won't be able to put
down once you've started it. Reviewed by Diana S.,

Harry Potter and the Prizoner of Azakban - To
label the Harry Potter books a children's phenomena is hardly doing them
justice. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, the third book
in the series, follows Harry Potter, a young boy who recently found out
he is a wizard and now attends wizard school, through his third school
year. During this time he faces his innermost fears - his parents death
(which happened long before the book begins), friendship, and a battle
between good and evil. The book moves at a thrilling pace that will
delight both adults and children with adventure, intrigue, and fun. Reviewed

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - Harry
enters his fourth year at Hogwarts needing courage and wizarding skills
far beyond his fourteen years! Though haunted by a scar-scorching
nightmare of the evil Lord Valdemort, Harry finds he has more immediate
concerns. Will the Dursleys, his horrid aunt and uncle, allow him to
attend the Quidditch World Cup Championship? Who'll be chosen to compete
in the mysteriously reinstated Triwizard Tournament? Will Ron and
Hermione remain his closest friends, or will Harry's fourth year at
Hogwarts change each--forever? J.K. Rowling's masterful epic of intrigue
and heroic coming-of-age confirms why she holds four spots on the
National Bestseller List! Reviewed by Shawnee, South
