| Death Note definitely has a goth feel to it, but I think it appeals to a mainstream audience. I don't know if I'd personally like to have the power to kill at will, but it'll be interesting to see where the author goes with this one. I'm already hooked and it's only volume 1. | | |
| Boy2Girl is another deceiving
title. I thought this would be about a teen dealing with
transgender issues. However it's not as complicated as that, or
maybe it is. You have to decide. Here's the basic
plot. Matthew's cousin Sam comes to live in England when his
mother dies in a car crash. Sam's a rough kid who alienates his
cousin and his new friends by beating one of them up. To get back
in their good graces, Sam must prove himself to the gang. Guess
how he does that...he takes on the challenge of dressing like a girl
and infiltrating the female psyche at their middle school. What
will happen when Sam reveals his true self? To find out read Boy2Girl by Terence Blacker.

| I thought Flavor of the Week
would be a racey book about a guy dating a different girl every
week. But it's simpler and sweeter than that. What do you
get when you cross Cyrano de Bergerac with Emeril Lagasse? You
get Cyril, the protagonist of this story, a slighty overweight kid who
loves to cook. Cyril has a secret crush on his friend Rose but is
too self-concious and shy to take action. He ends up playing the
part of Cyrano when he cooks sumptuous dinners for his best friend Nick
who is trying to woo Rose via her stomach and tastebuds. To
find out who gets the girl in the end, read Flavor of the Week by Tucker Shaw.

| Read this if you liked Sloppy Firsts. Good follow up and I can't wait for the 3rd book.

| Blue is for Nightmares is a
horror/mystery that has a blend of witchcraft. A seemingly good
premise with an unknown stalker who's after the protagonist's
roommate. However the story gets a bit dragged out and the
writing style couldn't sustain the story. In all honesty I got
half way through and
decided to skip the second half and read the last chapter to
find out the ending. Not a literary gem but seems to be a popular
title with the teens.
