The One Where the Kid Nearly Jumps to His Death and Lands in California-Hershey

I read this book over spring break and really enjoyed it! Alastair really did nearly jump to his death and as a result his life has been changed forever. Do you think his dad hung around to see the results? No, he runs off to start a new life in California. Well now years have gone by and guess where Alastair is supposed to spend his summer. You guessed it, in California with his father who he despises. Alastair sets out to make his father as miserable as possible for all the anger and hurt he has caused over the years. It takes most of the summer and a terrible event to mend the riff between them.

Into the Wild- Durst

Into the Wild by Sarah Beth Durst is a wonderfully creative story that blends characters from today with characters from fairy-tales. The Wild is a fairy-tale world that has recently escaped from captivity. Characters such as Cinderella and Rapunzel, who had escaped from the wild and have been living quietly among us are now being sucked back in to their former roles. Who will rescue them and tame the Wild? The answer will surprise you.
