MEET YOUR BOOK BATTLE ROYALE CONTESTANTS:

Representing Fantasy:

  • Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater
    Have you ever felt a connection to someone you didn’t really know? Something in their eyes, maybe? What if that someone was a wolf, at least most of the time? Grace’s life is about to change when her wolf becomes a boy, and steals her heart. Discuss this title here

  • Nightschool by Svetlana Chmakova
    Ever wonder what happens after the school doors close for the night? Welcome to Nightschool, a haven for vampires, werewolves, and weirns (powerful witches). Alex, a young weirn who has lived sheltered at home, must enter the Nightschool to find her missing sister, and discover the sinister forces at work here. Discuss this title here.

  • Wondrous Strange by Lesley Livingston
    The stage is set, the curtains rise, here is your theatrical debut! But the world of “A Midsummer Summer Night’s Dream” becomes very real for Kelley, as she realizes faeries are real, and their realm is about to spill over into Central Park...

Representing the Laughter and Tears of Real Life:

  • Me and the Blondesby Teresa Toten
    Sophie has secrets she’s trying to hide this year at a new school. Secret #1: her Bulgarian mom is waay over the top. Secret #2: her poet-father is in jail for murder. Secret #3, she’s not one of the cool girls. But Sophie is going to change that by making friends with the invincible and confident Blondes! Discuss this title here.

  • The Manny Files by Christian Burch
    “Be interesting!” That is what the Manny (male many) tells Keats on his first day of school. But it’s hard to be interesting when you’re the shortest kid in your class (even shorter than the girls!) and your sisters have personality galore. Can the Manny help Keats? Will Keat’s sister sabotage a good thing with her “Manny Files”? Join the fun with the most fabulous male-Mary Poppins around!

  • Not Suitable for Family Viewing by Vicki Grant
    Your mom’s a famous tv celebrity, you have money, a nice house, and a rock star dad. So why would a 17-year-old girl ditch all that and New York City to go to a fishing village in Nova Scotia? Mystery, humour and romance! Discuss this title here.

  • Carter Finally Gets it by Brent Crawford
    High school begins and the possibilities are endless! If only Carter can stop getting distracted by bellybuttons and babes, keep his cool at parties and stop the s-s-s-s-stutter, he might even get a girlfriend! Discuss this title here.


Representing the Dramatic:

  • Out of the Cold by Norah McClintock
    No good deed goes unpunished! Somehow, Robyn gets talked into volunteering at a homeless shelter. On her first day, she gets insults by cute boy Ben, assaulted by homeless man Mr. Duffy, and eventually drawn into a mystery that will change her world view and unravel secrets from the past. Discuss this title here.

  • Home is Beyond the Mountains by Celia Barker Lottridge
    Imagine war has come to your door, and you must leave your only home behind. Imagine losing part of your family in your escape. You finally make it apparent safety when you are forced to walk the 300 miles back home. Imagine you are nine-years-old. Based on true events. Discuss this titlehere.

  • Sister Wife by Shelley Hrdlistska
    Celeste, 14, and Nanette, 13, are sisters living in the isolated community of Unity. They grown up knowing that they will be married off to an older man with other wives. The time approached for Celeste, and she starts to question the Prophet and the community’s whole way of life. Is escape even possible? Discuss this title here.

I think Wondrous Strange, or Nightschool will win, but that's just me-someone who loves fantasy.

I have read all the books, except Suitable for Family Viewing and Home is beyond the Mountains (I'm currently sidetracked by Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, which I have to finish before it's due, because there are too many holds for me to renew it!).

If you wanted to read some of the shorter/quicker books first, I would start with:
    Nightschool
    Manny Files
    Out of the Cold

Shiver can go by quickly, too. Anyhow, they're all good and I should have the last two read in a couple weeks.
