I second Dawn's recommendation. I agree that students who like Holly Black's book will like this. I actually liked this a bit more (and I liked them very much). For some reason, I was reminded of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight and New Moon so I think that students who like those books will also enjoy Wicked Lovely. Vampires/ Faeries - it's a logical jump. Brenda Kahn Librarian/ Webmaster NCBT Candidate Haworth Public School Haworth, NJ -----Original Message----- From: Dawn Sardes <yayagoddess@SBCGLOBAL.NET> To: LM_NET@LISTSERV.SYR.EDU Sent: Thu, 26 Jul 2007 8:42 am Subject: [LM_NET] New YA Fantasy Book Recommendation I recently purchased and read a new book for my librar that I would like to endorse. I am neither the author nor have I any ties to her. The book is Wicked Lovely, by Melissa Marr. 11th grader Aislinn has inherited the ability to see the faeries that walk among us. Raised by her grandmother, she has learned the strict rules to follow to keep them from learning that she has the sight, to avoid their cruelty. 1. Never Speak to invisible faeries. 2. Never Stare at Invisible faeries 3. Never attract their attention. But it is too late. Aislinn has attracted the attention of Keenan, the Summer King. For centuries, he has sought his Summer Queen from among the mortal world. Not until he finds her will he finally have the power to defeat the Winter Queen, his cruel mother. Keenan has set his sights on Aislinn. Her life, her future, and the fact that she is in love with Seth mean nothing to him. Filled with lore and revelations of the faerie political structure, the focus of the story switched between Aislinn, Keenan, and Donia, who, 900 years ago, was foolish enough to fall in love with Keenan. When she made the choise to take the test to see if she were his destined queen, she failed, instead becoming the Winter Girl, the servant of the Winter Queen. She will not be freed until another accepts the challenge. If you like Holly Black's books, you will love Wicked Lovely Dawn Sardes Teen Services Librarian Euclid Public Library Euclid, OH yayagoddess@sbcglobal.net.omit.this Check out my Harry Potter Fan Fiction at http://www.fanfiction.net Pen Name: YaYa Goddess -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
