This week the Signed Book Give Away is EAT BRAINS LOVE by Jeff Hart.


Necrotizing (turning into Zombies) in their school Cafeteria, Jake and Amanda, the gamer and the cheerleader respectively, are now on the run from a government agency determined to rid the world of Zombies...or worse. On their action and snack filled road trip they have only each other on which to rely.

Genre: Zombie Romance--big on action and gore--slightly hilarious.

Teen Review: Formerly Shark Girl

Formerly Shark Girl is an amazing and inspiring book. The clever use of poetic form leaves the readers captivated, even if it feels a bit awkward at first. Overlook this however, and you will subtly find a rhythm in the book. Jane's story is one of strength, which is conveyed very well by the author's words. At points in the story I felt that the characters were, in a physical sense, described to vaguely, which was troubling. Despite this, the character's personalities shone throughout the story, which, as a vital part of the story, tied everything together and brought it to life.

-A Review by Tami L.

Formerly Shark Girl and the prequel, Shark Girl are available at the Booth & Dimock Memorial Library.
