Double Identity by Margaret Haddix

Double Identity -- a Juvenile Fiction thriller extraordinaire

For those who loved the "Shadow Children" series (Among the Hidden, Among the Brave, Among the Free etc.) try Haddix's new novel "Double Identity". Sure to appeal to kids from 3rd grade up - and adults too! - learn who Bethany really is and why her parents have been forced to leave her with an aunt she never heard of. Why do all the townspeople look so shocked when they meet her? And how can she have pictures of her parents 20 years ago with a daughter who looks just like her?

  1. Flush
    by Carl Hiaasen

    Great story by the author of the hit book and movie "Hoot". Will 10 year old Noah and 7 year old Abby be able to stop the Coral Queen gambling boat from flushing raw sewage into the harbor at the Florida Keys? They have a great idea, but will it work? Noah's dad has already gotten in trouble for scuttling the Coral Queen to protest the illegal flushing of the bilge tanks, but no one will believe him. Can Abby and Noah prove him right? And who is the old pirate who has saved their bacon during their midnight escapades? Check out this book for a cliff hanger set of characters and plot...

Thirteenth Tale

by Diane Setterfield; I didn't put a "Recommended by Linda" sticker on this book because of the sensual (and only) scene in the first chapter. I didn't want this to put a reader off, so if it offends you skip that page and read on. The novel is about an aged author who has created many different personifications with her past books and now wants a young author to write her true biography.
