Director's Review: "Sent" by Margaret Peterson Haddix
What if we had the ability to go back in time and save all the children who disappeared from history? Virginia Dare, Edward V of England, Prince Richard of York, John Hudson? In this 2nd installment of Haddix's "The Missing" series, Jonah, Chip, Katherine, and Alex are sent back to 15th century England, where they discover that Chip and Alex are actually Edward V and Richard of York, respectively, known to history as the "Princes in the Tower." They have to determine what really happened to Chip and Alex in the original version of history and save them from their fate, then safely get everyone back to the 21st century before it's too late. It's a fun read with an interesting concept that readers will enjoy.

Director's Review- The Bronze Key by Holly Black and Cassandra Clare
I love this series; it has action, adventure, and magic, which remind me of Harry Potter- what's not to love? The Bronze Key is the third installment of this tween series and seems to pick up right where "The Copper Gauntlet" ends. Call, Aaron, and Tamara have to balance perfecting their magic with Master Rufus, solving a murder, and saving the chaos-ridden animals, including Call's pet wolf, Havoc, from the Assembly. The story is full of the twists and turns you come to expect after reading the first two books in the series, and ends on a tragic note that left me ready for book 4.
"The Bronze Key" is available through inter-library loan.
