RHS Library Newsletter #2
October 28, 2020
Need textbooks?
Are you sure you have all the books you need for your classes? Back in September, there were a few classes that we ran out of textbooks for (in particular, Health and Algebra 2), but we now have more in. If you still need one of those books, or you think you're missing something else, please send me an email: jill.guccini@ridgefieldsd.org
The rest of this newsletter is dedicated to all my SFF (book publishing lingo for Science Fiction & Fantasy) fans out there!
New Books in the Library
The Toll by Neal Shusterman
The third book in the Arc of a Scythe series.
Call Down the Hawk by Maggie Stiefvater
Beginning of a new series by Raven Boys author Maggie Stiefvater.
Chain of Gold by Cassandra Clare
Beginning of a new series (The Last Hours) from Cassandra Clare.
Young Readers Choice Award Nominee of the Week: The Cruel Prince by Holly Black
I actually haven't read this one yet, but I know this whole series is very popular among teen (and adult!) readers. I have read other books by Holly Black, though, and can tell you that she writes dark, creepy, romantic books that really let you escape to another world. If you like Sarah J. Maas books, I think you would love this one too! The Cruel Prince is a nominee this year in the Senior category, so it is more mature than nominees in the Intermediate category, but any high school student can read it for my YRCA challenge.
Here is a trailer another educator made for it:

Take care of yourselves!
