Sure Fire by Jack Higgins
A popular author of best-selling adult novels, Jack Higgins has written a thriller for teens. I'm currently enjoying this one! The plot: Resentful of having to go and live with their estranged father after the death of their mother, fifteen-year-old twins, Rich and Jade, soon find they have more complicated problems when their father is kidnapped and their attempts to rescue him involve them in a dangerous international plot to control the world's oil.

M is for Magic by Neil Gaiman
For those of you who are very busy, but want to enjoy a quick read, I bring you a collection of short stories by Neil Gaiman. As he says in his forward, "Short stories are tiny windows into other worlds and other minds and other dreams. They are journeys you can make to the far side of the universe and still be back in time for dinner". How can you not love a man who says stuff like that?!

On that note...I'm off to another world. Dinner is 10 minutes so it's Neil Gaiman for me tonight ;)

Hope to see you in the stacks.
