Galley received week of 10/8/08

We received a copy of:
The Dust of 100 Dogs by A.S. King (Est. pub. date: February 2009)
Blurb: In the late 17th century, famed pirate Emer Morrisey was on the cusp of sailing into early retirement with unfathomable wealth and her one true love when she was fatally cursed with the dust of 100 dogs. Three hundred years later, after 100 lives as a dog, she finally reincarnates into a human body again—with all her memories intact. Now she’s a contemporary American teenager, and all she needs is a shovel and a ride to Jamaica. (Young Adult - language, swashbuckling, and elusive pirate nookie.)

Sneak Peek Program!

Hey -- NovelTeens, our high school book club, is changing it's format.

Starting this month, club members will get the chance to read preview copies of new teen/young adult books! Our club is one of only 15 across the country who receive these special galley copies of new books from publishers. After reading, just fill out a short feedback form to let the publisher know if you loved it, hated it, or felt something in between. Plus, talk with other teens in the group about the best books you’ve read this year, and them nominate them for an exclusive Teens Top Ten list! This book club is open to students in grades 9-12. Interested? Come to a meeting at the Main Library or contact Kelly at 577-3957, or kkeefer@ci.san-leandro.ca.us
