New Book Recommendations From Ms. Penn
I Hunt Killers by Barry Lyga *****
Great book about Jazz, son of a serial killer. Jazz is a likeable teenager, a charmer. Dead bodies are piling up again in his sleepy town. In an effort to prove murder doesn't run in the family, Jazz joins the police in the hunt for this new serial killer.
Bitterblue by Kristin Cashore
The long-awaited companion to New York Times bestsellers Graceling and Fire. Also rated by School Library Journal as one of its top 12 books of 2012!
The Fault in Our Stars by John Green *****
Two teens meet at Cancer Support Group and fall in love. Heartwarming, very emotional, and sad. If you can read it without crying, let me know....
