July's Pick
Demonglass by Rachel Hawkins

This is the second book in the Hex Hall series by Rachel Hawkins. While I really liked Hex Hall, and some of you may remember me talking about it in class just before the end of the school year, it didn't grab me like Demonglass. You don't need to read the first book to get the second - you can if you want. Demonglass had a ton of action and was very fast paced. It's a great way to beat the heat this summer! The August pick will be coming soon.

August's Pick
