But it needs an underclass: Someone has to do the dirty work. Harsh laws that keep some safe also ensure that a sizeable portion of the population, like many of Bo's family, will end up in prison factories. Bo ends up in one with a seriously psycho warden.

LockhartThis IS NOT a book for boys. They could not possibly enjoy sophomore Frankie's getting the better of the most powerful senior boys in her school.<br />Get over the fact that the school is a boarding school for the white, seriously over privileged mostly WASPish future leaders of the country and enjoy Frankie's triumphs.Chelsea Readerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10246116774340981294noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31367694.post-84663642988500454272010-02-17T18:54:00.002-05:002010-02-17T18:59:19.429-05:00What I Saw and How I Lied by Judy BlundellThis has been described as a historical thriller. The rules by which 15-year-old Evie is expected to live and the nature of the anti-Semitic racism may be post World War II, but everything else is now. Nobody is what they seem to be, and Evie has to grow up super fast when three people go out in a boat and only two return. This suspense will have you reading fast – and if you never really got the “literary device” of foreboding, you will know it after reading this great suspense.Chelsea Readerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10246116774340981294noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31367694.post-36185208661320175772010-02-12T14:41:00.002-05:002010-02-12T15:03:50.012-05:00Impossible by Nancy WerlinCan Lucy escape the family curse, to give birth as a teenager and then descend into madness?

This story of traditional, patriotic, struggling Vermont dairy farmers and alien, hard-working, struggling farm laborers, will cause most readers to pause for thought... and then to be really anxious for the well-being of all the people they meet here.Chelsea Readerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10246116774340981294noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31367694.post-62701266106637857972009-06-19T12:20:00.002-05:002009-06-19T12:37:04.853-05:00The Time Machine by H.G. WellsIn <span style="font-style:italic;">The Time Machine</span>, published in 1895, the traveler travels in the fourth dimension, time, through thousands of years and is attacked by Morlocks. (It was another ten year's before Einstein's theory of relativity described the weird things that can happen with time.)<br />Many of you going into Grade 12 will have chosen this book because it is thin. We warned you the vocabulary is very difficult.Chelsea Readerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10246116774340981294noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31367694.post-739986145761898282009-04-03T12:44:00.002-05:002009-04-03T13:09:50.267-05:00A Thousand Spendid Suns by Khaled HosseiniI read this book when it first came out and enjoyed it even more than <span style="font-style:italic;">The Kite Runner</span>. I was prompted to write about it today as there is discussion in the news of a law being processed in Afghanistan which would, in contravention of the country's constitution, reduce the rights of women. A book like this reminds us how poorly women rate in many parts of the world.Chelsea Readerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10246116774340981294noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31367694.post-80363264762680283992009-04-03T12:40:00.003-05:002009-04-03T12:43:36.444-05:00The Book Thief by Markus ZusakIn this heartrending, unforgettable story, Death reluctantly tells the story of foster child, Liesel in Nazi Germany.
