View in Library Catalog
book cover


One of Alex Finlay strengths is his solid pacing combined with characters that are appeal to a variety of readers. Parents Weekend is no exception. In this thriller, five students, some from exceedingly elite and powerful backgrounds, disappear right before meeting up with their parents for a celebratory "Parents Weekend". No one can determine what happened and the FBI is brought in to solve the mystery. What is most enjoyable and Finlay 's writing is the strong pacing and cliff hangers which end almost every chapter. A truly enjoyable, immersive summer read that will keep you piling up the clues... and guessing...right up until the end.

One of Alex Finlay"s strengths is his solid pacing and characters that are non offensive and relatable. The Parents Weekend is no exception, capitalizing on all of Finlay 's strengths. In this thriller five students, some from exceedingly elite backgrounds go missing before meeting up with their parents. The plot is full of twists and turns that will keep the reading turning the pages. One aspect I especially enjoy about Finlay 's writing is the mini cliffhangers at the end of every chapter. This novel has the thrill and glamour of peeking into the lives and foibles of the ultra rich and powerful combined with an engaging mystery that allows the reader to piece together clues. A fun summer read for fans of Mr. Finlay.

We love how in this story Pup wanted to be noticed and draw. I love the detail of every character the boy was drawing had a scavenger hunt with it. It was very fun.

Bad Boy: A Memoir – A Classic and Unforgettable Coming-of-Age Story for Young Adults About 1940s Harlem
by Walter Dean Myers

book cover


Walter Dean Myers had a way of writing this story to make you feel everything. At least for me his story held a sort of nostalgia, for the recklessness of being a kid with the knowledge that the only people you had to answer to being your parents. Then as he ages you remember those emotions in tandem with him, the feeling of being lost, of losing the confidence you once held because now you understand your different, of not being able to hide. It was written in a way where you felt both empathetic to him and yourself because you can see yourself in Walter Dean Myers, even if your lives had been drastically different, it's the emotion that you remember. From childhood invincibility to the warm feeling of recognition as an adult. The scope of this book is amazing.
