Book Review – Firefight by Brandon Sanderson
Reviewed by A.R.
I rate the book as amazing! Everyone should read this series.
The book was about David and the Reckoners killing other Epics and how to stop them.
David is the main character in the book and the most interesting. He has a way of making people open up about themselves and getting them to trust him. He gets into the worst situations possible, but gets out alive somehow. David is smart, but also naive about certain things.
I liked that not only were there action packed scenes and drama, but a bit of comedy at the most unlikely times.
The only part I did not like was that of betrayal between a couple characters and the fact I have to wait until spring of 2016 to read the next book.
My favorite lines are when Megan explains why David is dangerous. “Oh, you’re dangerous. Just not in the way that they or you think. You’re dangerous because you make people believe you, David. You make them listen to your ideas.”
This definitely needs to be on your list because it is awesome and everyone needs to a distraction.

Book Review – Chasing the Prophecy by Brandon Mull 
Reviewed by A.R.
I rate the book as great and if there was another book would definitely read it. The plot of the book is about two young teens from Earth who help their friends from Lyrian defeat an evil emperor.
Interesting characters from the book are Jason and Galloran. Jason because even though he doesn’t have any special powers he is able to help his friends when they really need it and he always makes friends with people that are useful to their cause. Galloran is interesting because he is very wise and he was able to fight one of the most dangerous creatures and win.
What I liked most was, even though all seemed lost, they continued to believe in each other and fought the emperor.
Personally, I just don’t like it that the main characters had to split up to continue their quest.
My favorite passage from the book is when Jason is defending Galloran and their quest against a critique of the cause; “You’re arguing that stopping him is unrealistic,” Jason said. “But don’t you get what Galloran was saying? You’re with people who do unrealistic things. He’s killed three torivors! I spoke the Word to Maldor and then escaped Felrook. Rachel killed Orruck and we took his Orantium. We all made it through Ebera. We’ve done lot’s of unrealistic things. Why not try for a few more?”
I don’t think the book should be on the list because it’s the third and last one of the series. I don’t want people thinking they should read the third one first just because it’s on Top Ten list. Otherwise it’s very good book.

We are happy to be participating in this year’s World Book Night as an official “book giver”.
World Book Night is an annual celebration dedicated to spreading the love of reading, person to person. Each year on April 23, tens of thousands of people go out into their communities and give half a million free World Book Night paperbacks to light and non-readers.
World Book Night is about giving books and encouraging reading in those who don’t regularly do so. But it is also about more than that: It’s about people, communities and connections, about reaching out to others and touching lives in the simplest of ways—through the sharing of stories.
World Book Night is a nonprofit organization. They exist because of the support of thousands of book givers, booksellers, librarians, and financial supporters who believe in our mission. Successfully launched in the U.K. in 2011, World Book Night was first celebrated in the U.S. in 2012. Thank you to our U.K. friends for such a wonderful idea!
More information can be found at World Book Night or by contacting the library.

Help us protect NY’s libraries and library systems. We need to tell the NYS Legislature to reject the $2.4 million cut in Library Aid Governor David Paterson is proposing in the 2010-2011 Executive Budget.
This will be the fifth cut in less than two years and will bring Library Aid down from $102 million in 2007 to $84.5 million in 2010. These cuts combined total an $18 million or 18% reduction in funding for library services. Libraries are part of our safety net—they are essential to life long learning, jobs and opportunity, quality of life and community empowerment.
