Director's Review- Ghostly Echoes by William Ritter

This book was everything I expected it it be after reading the first two books in the series. Jackaby and Abigial's ghostly roommate, Jenny Cavanaugh, had been a supporting character in "Jackaby" and "Beastly Bones," but in the series' third installment, she becomes the focus of the story. Ten years ago, Jenny was murdered, and her fiance, Howard Carson, disappeared. The case was never solved by the police, and Jenny has enlisted Jackaby and Abigail to uncover her killer and determine what happened to her finance the night she was murdered. As Jackaby and Abigail delve into the cold case, another murder occurs with alarming similarities, and the group quickly realizes that Jenny's case might not be as cold as it seems.

Complete with the wit and eccentricity that readers have come to expect from the character of R.F. Jackaby, this book was every bit as exciting and engrossing as the rest of the series, and will leave you ready for the fourth and final installment.

"Ghostly Echoes" is available through the OneClickDigital Library on the State Library of Kansas Database.

Director's Review- Girl in the Blue Coat by Monica Hesse

I've been on a big WWII fiction reading kick lately; add Young Adult to it, and I'll probably read it. As soon as I realized Girl in the Blue Coat took place in Nazi-occupied Amsterdam, I added it to my To Be Read pile. Hanneke has many reasons to detest the unwanted Nazi invaders; they've taken over her country and she's lost her boyfriend, Bas, in the war. As an act of defiance against the Nazis and to help support her family, Hanneke acquires and delivers Black Market items to paying customers, but she's thrown for a loop when, instead of asking to find meat or cigarettes, she's asked to find a missing Jewish girl. The mystery of the girl's disappearance mixed in with the stories of the Resistance workers and the glimpses into the daily lives of those living in a Nazi-occupied country make for a great read.

"Girl in the Blue Coat" is available in the SCCC Library.
