County Teens

A plane full of beauty queens crashes on a tropical island.

Will they survive? Will they kill each other in a brawl over the last tube of mascara?

Or will they discover that it’s no accident that their plane crashed?

This one has a lot more going on than the cover suggests.

Anya’s Ghost by Vera Brosgol

When a graphic novel is called “A Masterpiece!” by Neil Gaiman, you know it’s got to be worth checking out if you want a creepy, page-turning read.

Anya, the main character in Anya’s Ghost, is a Russian-American high school student who wants to make friends, get a boyfriend and fit in. And when she falls down a hole in the forest and meets another girl, Emily, who feels the same way…well, it seems like everything is going to get better. But, Emily’s a ghost and maybe not as sweet and kind as she first appears.

If you’ve read the Hunger Games series, you’re probably anxiously awaiting the movie – set for release this spring.
Entertainment Weekly has posted the new trailer . Check it out and let us know what you think! If you haven’t read the books yet, we have them all at the library for you to borrow.
