IN THE STACKS
THE BLOODY JACK SERIES by L. A.
Meyer
"Jacky has an engaging voice and a brilliant personality. Crafty, clever, honest (sometimes), and good (mostly), she rings true in every way." -- John G. Hemry
THE REDWALL SERIES
by Brian
Jacques
"If I had to pick one word to describe the series, it would be: magical. This is a tad odd, as there isn’t any magic involved anywhere in the books." -- K. Burtt
THE TWILIGHT SERIES by Stephenie
Meyer
"Some ten pages into Twilight I was completely hooked, so vivid and enthralling is Stephenie Meyer’s world." -- Rachel Day

THE BARTIMAEUS TRILOGY
by Jonathan
Stroud
"Have you ever wondered what the Harry Potter books would be like if Harry were a raging asshole? Wonder no more." -- Kate Nagy
