Back to School Reading

Well, I took quite a bit of time off and away, but I have some great reads to recommend!
Finally finished Hunger Games and Catching Fire.... and I cannot WAIT for Mockingjay to be released. Loved loved loved these books and I think adventure seeking, strong girls will like them too. Young adult for sure, but mature 6th graders will be fine!

Some other good books - Beastly by Alex Flinn
Summary (from Publisher's Weekly): "Kyle Kingsbury is a gorgeous high school freshman, spoiled rotten by his famous anchorman father, a man who'd rather dole out cash than affection. Kyle attends the exclusive Tuttle School in New York City and torments those poor unfortunates who lack his looks and wealth. When he humiliates a girl at school, she transforms him into a horrific-looking creature. Kyle's only hope for breaking the spell lies in finding true love-as he reports online in meetings of the Unexpected Changes chat group (other members include Froggie and the mermaid Silent Maid)."
