Kids’ Book Clubs

New Books

In the latest account of the search for the Holy Grail, Kate Mosse creates two female protagonists, one from the present century, one from the thirteenth, and shows how their lives intersect across 800 years. Labyrinth takes the male world of the historical-religious-quest genre and adds a twist that won’t disappoint fans of the genre.

James Patterson has a new courtroom/hospital thriller out. 5^th Horseman will pull you toward the apocalypse with its page turning plot, (there are 139 chapters) as the Women’s Murder Club investigate suspicious deaths at the hospital.
