October 3rd Book !

We will be reading 'I Am The Messanger' by Marcus Zusak.  It was recommended by Maura.  See all of you in October.  Have a good read!

Here is the beginning of a review by N. Alysha Lewis :

For seventeen years, I forced myself not to have a favorite book. I loved reading so much, I didn’t want to decide on one in case I read something even better right after. The Phantom Tollbooth came close because it gave me my love of word play, but even still, when asked, I never gave a straight answer. Then I read I Am the Messenger, by Markus Zusak.
Many know Zusak as the man who wrote The Book Thief, a very popular selection for summer reading lists that got the movie treatment a few years ago. And I get it. The Book Thief is a great book. It deserves the accolades and attention it has received—but in my opinion, I Am the Messenger, which turned 15 this year, is the YA read you should be picking up.
