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.

Tess's Pick!

The Myth: Alice was an ordinary girl who stepped through the looking glass and entered a fairy-tale world invented by Lewis Carroll in his famous storybook. The Truth: Wonderland is real. Alyss Heart is the heir to the throne, until her murderous aunt Redd steals the crown and kills Alyssa parents. To escape Redd, Alyss and her bodyguard, Hatter Madigan, must flee to our world through the Pool of Tears. But in the pool Alyss and Hatter are separated. Lost and alone in Victorian London, Alyss is befriended by an aspiring author to whom she tells the violent, heartbreaking story of her young life. Yet he gets the story all wrong. Hatter Madigan knows the truth only too well, and he is searching every corner of our world to find the lost princess and return her to Wonderland so she may battle Redd for her rightful place as the Queen of Hearts.
