Scott Pilgirm Takes Over the Library!

If you didn't get to see Scott Pilgrim vs. the World in the theater, now's your chance to check it out on DVD! The movie is based on the graphic novel series by Bryan Lee O'Malley (which we also have!) and follows professional slacker and part-time muscian Scott Pilgrim as he tries to win the heart of the super cool Ramona Flowers by defeating her seven evil exes. It's a super fun movie with an awesome soundtrack (we have that too!) that you don't want to miss!
All 6 books are in the Teen Graphic section, the CD is in our music collection and you can check out the DVD from the rental collection.

YA Book to Movie Alert!

The book It's Kind of a Funny Story by Ned Vizzini has been made into a movie staring Zach Galifianakis, Keir Gilchrist, Emma Roberts, Lauren Graham (the mom from Gilmore Girls!) and a ton of other actors you'll recognize. I haven't seen the movie yet but if it's anything like the book you won't want to miss it! It's out in limited release (mostly in NYC and LA) but watch for it coming to a theater near you or possible to DVD soon. While you're waiting, check out the book. You know what they say- even if the movie is good, the book is always better!

Extraordinary by Nancy Werlin

Phoebe meets Mallory in seventh grade when Phoebe shuns the popular clique and befriends the odd new girl Mallory. Mallory and Phoebe are inseparable for the next four years until Mallory reveals she has a never-before-mentioned brother and it's revealed to the reader that Mallory and her brother Rylant are faeries out to manipulate Phoebe and bring her to the Faerie Queen for some unknown and mysterious purpose. If you like faeries and paranormal fiction you are going to LOVE this book. But even if you tend to like more realistic books, I still think you'll enjoy reading about the drama that arises when two friends as close as sisters are torn apart because of a boy. If you like this one, also check out her last novel Impossible about a girl who has 9 months to break an ancient curse in order to save herself and her unborn baby.

If you really hate faeries but think this books would be perfect without them, check out some of Nancy Werlin's other fantasy-free books, like Rules of Survival, Locked Inside and Double Helix
