Teens Top Ten, 2011 Voting

The short list of books nominated for the 2011 Teens Top Ten was announced a few months ago. You can read about that here. Last week they opened up the voting, and you can vote until September 15th.

The Booth & Dimock Memorial Library has 13 of the 25 titles, and we are happy to Inter-Library-Loan any of the others. You can search our catalog for the 13 we own with the key phrase "TTT2011" and read the entire list with synopsis's here. There is a display of these books above the Teen Computers.

On Wednesday, September 14th, we will have a meeting of the Teen Book Club. There is No Book for this meeting, we are going to talk about some of the great books we read over the summer and choose some of the books we want to read this fall. This meeting will be a great time for us to debate which books are Coventry's Favorites for the Teens Top Ten.

Teen Book Review

The Mediterranean Caper by Clive Cussler




This is a (relatively) short, but fast moving book about Dirk Pitt. Pitt is sent by NUMA to help out at a ship looking for a fish nick-named the Teaser. This research ship was being hounded by 'acadents', a blatant attack on a near-by US military airfield by a WW I Albatross Fighter plane, then a direct attach on their ship by the same plane. Meanwhile, Pitt has experienced "Love at first sight" with the supposed niece of a man known as Von Till. After Von Till tries to kill Pitt, Pitt realized the he was the cause of their problems, having taken on the fake identity of "Von Till" as well as a fake niece. He was actually an old German soldier from the world war, who was smuggling illegal drugs into the US. In the end, Von Till is reveled, and the Teaser is found. The only warning I give is that the raw version of this book includes a fairly heave use of bad language. I suggest you get a censored version.
