There have been 4 waves of attacks on our mother Earth with a 5th wave looming. They have sabotaged our electronics, our plates, our faults, oceans, ecosystems and immune systems. Cassie has made a promise to her little brother that she will find him and keep him safe against all odds. It will take all of her strength and faith in herself to keep that promise once the 5th wave begins. More than great YA, it’s just great!     -Danny

The human race has advanced itself to the heights of what is technologically possible. Unfortunately it has come at the cost of real human interaction. There is a small sect of people that have abandoned the technology at the cost of living in poverty and as outcasts from "normal" society. 

 We follow the story of Peter Vincent. His father is at the forefront of the ever changing evolution of man and tech. But when he chances upon meeting someone who is part of the outer sect, it will change the way he views the technology, his father, and the world as she helps to show him the rabbit hole and the secrets kept from the general public that has been all but forgotten.

In a dystopian near-future of the American Surveillance State, we follow the story of Marcus, who only a couple of years before, was caught in a scandal of torture, unlawful imprisonment, and government secrets. He finds himself once more in the center of a conspiracy centered around the friends he keeps and the secrets he has access to.

 

Homeland is a somewhat sequel to Little Brother, Cory's first book in the series that centers around privacy, civil liberties, and technology. I recommend this book to any young adult or parent who wants his child to be aware of the world in which he is being brought up in. It's cliché to say that this book and books like it are important, but hey it's important. The modern answer to 1984, by an author that makes his characters easy to identify with and the reading fun, fast, and freeing!

Lemony Snicket's latest offering to middle graders and fun-loving adults alike is "Who Could That Be At This Hour?" The first in a new series you could easily call Middle School Noir, it follows a young Lemony as he embarks on a journey into a strange town with even stranger townsfolk to solve a mystery. The answer is just within his grasp, but he keeps asking the wrong questions! Fans of fun and noir will definitely enjoy this hilarious and exciting read!
