<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Once again some of the best area-wide middle school readers got to show off the power of words in the 10th Annual Area-Wide book Battle. All of the students who battled deserve high praise for their dedication to reading. As teachers and librarians we hope that their love of reading follows them throughout the rest of the lives.</span></div>

Carolina, to be
exact about it. Some stores she can go into. Some stores she can’t.
Some folks are right pleasant. Others are a lot less so. To Stella, it
sort of evens out, and heck, the Klan hasn’t bothered them for years.
But one late night, later than she should ever be up, much less
wandering around outside, Stella and her little brother see something
they’re never supposed to see, something that is the first flicker of
change to come, unw</span><span style="font-size: large;">elcome change by any stretch of the imagination. As
Stella’s commu</span><span style="font-size: large;">nity—her world—is upended, she decides to fight fire with
fire. And she learns that ashes don’t necessarily signify an end.</span><br />

Your best friend. Every person you know.<br />Many worlds, many lives—infinite possibilities.<br />Welcome to the multiverse.</i> <br /><br />Sixteen-year-old
Sasha Lawson has only ever known one small, ordinary life. When she was
young, she loved her grandfather's stories of parallel worlds,
inhabited by girls who looked like her but led totally different lives.
Sasha never believed such worlds were real—until now, when she finds
herself thrust into one against her will.<br /><br />To prevent imminent
war, Sasha must slip into the life of an alternate version of herself, a
princess who has vanished on the eve of her arranged marriage. If Sasha
succeeds in fooling everyone, she will be returned home; if she fails,
she'll be trapped in another girl's life forever. As time runs out,
Sasha finds herself torn between two worlds, two lives, and two young
men vying for her love—one who knows her secret, and one who believes
she's someone she's not. </span></div>

was once Paris is in the grips of a revolution. All who oppose the new
regime are put to the blade, except for those who disappear from their
prison cells, a red-tipped rook feather left in their place. Is the
mysterious Red Rook a savior of the innocent or a criminal?<br /><br />Meanwhile,
across the sea in the Commonwealth, Sophia Bellamy's arranged marriage
to the wealthy René Hasard is the last chance to save her family from
ruin. But when the search for the Red Rook comes straight to her
doorstep, Sophia discovers that her fiancé is not all he seems. Which is
only fair, because neither is she. <br /><br />As the Red Rook grows bolder
and the stakes grow higher, Sophia and René find themselves locked in a
tantalizing game of cat and mouse.</span></div>

to strip her of her a</span><span style="font-size: large;">dvanced technology, she has no choice but to run
for her life. In every direction there are dangerous people, hunting her
down. They will do whatever it takes to capture Mila, including hurting
the people she cares about most.</span></div>

California, adding random colors to her hair and wrangling one
husband, two kids, and an assortment of Rhodesian Ridgebacks (most of
them naughty).

<span style="font-size: large;">When preparing for the Book Battle, the committee members, who write the questions, spend time deciding which questions to use in the competition, which to send for the all the schools to use in practice, and which to use on the blog. We often throw questions out because they could be confused with another book. This week's question is one of these. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
