Review: All Unquiet Things by Anna Jarzab
I just finished Anna Jarzab's debut novel All Unquiet Things and it was awesome! I could not put it down. The narration switches between Neily and Audrey, the ex-boyfriend and cousin of Carley, a student at an elite private high school who was murdered one year ago. Audrey's father has been convicted of the murder but Audrey doesn't believe he did it and approaches Neily to help her further investigate the crime and the dark underside of Brighton Day School. Any one who loves good drama and mystery or loved Looking for Alaska by John Green or Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher will definitely not be disappointed! We also have the audiobook of All Unquiet Things and the narrators do a great job. Still not convinced you must read this? Check out the book trailer:

2010 Printz Award Winner!
The Michael L. Printz Award is an award for a book that exemplifies literary excellence in young adult literature. This year's winner is Going Bovine by Libba Bray. It's the story of Cameron, a 16 year old slacker who contracts Mad Cow Disease and sets off on a road trip with a dwarf, a garden gnome and a punk angel. I can guarantee it's definitely unlike anything you've read before!
The committee also named four Printz Honor Books:
