Bookfair

I purchased 4 books from our December school book fair, and received two others from a very nice anonymous donor.
I have read two of the books so far, and enjoyed both.
Prior to starting the next, I am posting reviews.

The first one is In a Heartbeat by Loretta Ellsworth. I enjoyed the plot very much, and the writing style was engaging.  Essentially the narrative is written from the perspective of two young girls, one of whom is dying and needs a heart transplant. The other dies in an accident, and of course ends up donating her heart.
While it may seem smarmy, it is handled fairly well, with lots of information regarding transplants and a realistic portrayal of what someone receiving a heart might feel.

The second book, Marie Antoinette, Serial Killer by Katie Alender, is a fun mystery.  A great ghost story involving Marie Antoinette as a vengeful ghost seeking out the families of those she feels betrayed her.  Somewhat obvious at times, it nonetheless was an engaging story to pass a couple of hours with. 

MS and HS students will enjoy both of these books, one light and one a tad heavier, they are both great additions to the YA genre.
