Series...continued

Sometimes our "new" books are the next volume in a series. It seems the trend these days to publish  books that are either the first in a new series, or part of an already ongoing series. This can get tricky for libraries to keep up. Our members help us by requesting the books in their favorite series. But generally we select the ones that are getting a lot of press and hope that those are the ones you are following!



Passenger by Andrew Smith
This is the sequel to Smith's popular novel, The Marbury Lens. Not a gentle story, Jack and his friends try to break the lens that took them to an alternate world. Read it if you dare.

Beautiful Chaos by Kami Garcia

The Castor Chronicles continue in this third installment. Swarms of locusts, record-breaking heat, and devastating storms ravage Gatlin as Ethan and Lena struggle to understand and control the impact of Lena's claiming, which is even causing her family members' abilities to dangerously misfire. Fans won't need to wait long for Book 4, Beautiful Redemption, which has already arrived on the library's shelves.

 

Free-Fire Zone by Chris Lynch

Lynch's Vietnam series is a bit slow to pick up readers, but they are fast-moving, action-packed war stories. This is the third installment. In this one, Rudi is a newly drafted United States Marine in Vietnam, and he likes being part of a squad--but the way some of his fellow soldiers behave toward their officers, the Vietnamese, and the war itself, is starting to trouble him.
