A FEW NEW READS IN OUR LIBRARY |
|
|
The Bullet That Missed
by Richard Osman
It is an ordinary Thursday, and things should finally be returning to normal. Except trouble is never far away where the Thursday Murder Club are concerned. While Elizabeth is presented with a deadly mission, the Thursday Murder Club and their unlikely new friends, including TV stars, money launderers and ex-KGB colonels, investigate two murders, 10 years apart, and must catch the culprit and save Elizabeth before the murderer strikes again. |

Button Pusher
by Tyler Page
Tyler's brain is different. Unlike his friends, he has a hard time paying attention in class. He acts out in goofy, over-the-top ways. Sometimes, he even does dangerous things--like cut up a bus seat with a pocketknife or hang out of an attic window. Nobody, including Tyler, understands why he does these things until his doctor diagnoses him with ADHD. But that is just the start of his journey. An autobiographical graphic novel. |

Creepy Crayon
by Aaron Reynolds
