Steve Says:

One of my favorite books of 2009 is now in paperback!

Ender's Battle School has relocated to Hogwarts and Narnia-obsessed Holden Caulfield is one of the new star pupils. Need I say more...?

Quentin Coldwater is an incredibly smart and unhappy young man in his senior year of high school. He has spent his entire life feeling like he doesn't belong, wishing he were somewhere else, so when he finds out that magic is real and he is one of those rare people that can learn to wield it.... well, he leaps at the opportunity. The problem is, though, that magic does nothing to cure ailments of the soul, and despite getting so many of the wondrous, fantastic chances he has wished for all his life, Quentin's biggest problem isn't a giant demon or an evil wizard, but his own inability to recognize happiness. Grossman borrows from a number of well-established fantasy franchises, sure, but this is something original- the ultimate flip side of the gold coin, if you will. I wish I could go back to the past and read this again for the first time.

Description

The carnival rolls in sometime after midnight, ushering in Halloween a week early. The shrill siren song of a calliope beckons to all with a seductive promise of dreams and youth regained. In this season of dying, Cooger & Dark's Pandemonium Shadow Show has come to Green Town, Illinois, to destroy every life touched by its strange and sinister mystery. And two boys will discover the secret of its smoke, mazes, and mirrors; two friends who will soon know all too well the heavy cost of wishes. . .and the stuff of nightmare.

Few American novels written this century have endured in the heart and memory as has Ray Bradbury's unparalleled literary classic SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES. For those who still dream and remember, for those yet to experience the hypnotic power of its dark poetry, step inside. The show is about to begin.The carnival rolls in sometime after midnight, ushering in Halloween a week early.
