New Releases: Fall From Grace - Charles Benoit

-



Looking to get your son reading ?
Are you a teenage guy looking for a good book ?


Synopsis: Fall From Grace - Charles Benoit - May 2012
The acclaimed author of You explores issues of choice and free will in an entertaining and discussion-provoking caper novel.


From Charles Benoit, author of the highly praised You, comes a witty and unsettling tale of two high school seniors planning the job of a lifetime.

"I need you to steal something for me."
Grace always has a plan. There's her plan to get famous, her plan to get rich, and-above all-her plan to have fun.

Sawyer has plenty of plans too. Plans made for him by his mother, his father, his girlfriend. Maybe they aren't his plans, but they are plans.

When Sawyer meets Grace, he wonders if he should come up with a few plans himself. Plans about what he actually wants to be, plans to speak his own mind for a change, plans to maybe help Grace with a little art theft.

Wait a minute-plans to what?

PRAISE FOR CHARLES BENOIT'S YOU:

"The voice is fresh and original, the prose simple, accessible, and poetic. Think Cormier and Crutcher, think an edgier A Separate Peace or The Catcher in the Rye, and you'll get the significance of Benoit's debut."-Dean Schneider, BookPage

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
