I began the summer rereading Unwind <\/em><\/strong>so I could read the sequel, Unwholly<\/em><\/strong> by Neal Shusterman. I loved reading Unwind <\/em>for the second time. Great action, characters, and idea. Unwholly <\/em>takes place immediately following the end of Unwind <\/em>so I’m glad I read it again.<\/p>\nHere’s a fun book trailer for Vampire Baby:<\/p>\n http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=acEzh7iOhVU&<\/a>;feature=youtu.be<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As the summer winds down and a more regular schedule begins, I thought I’d mention a few of my favorite books from the summer.

Doll Bones <\/em><\/strong>by Holly Black is just the right amount of spooky and just the right amount about growing up. What’s not to love about a spooky doll locked in a glass case?<\/p>\n![\"Lincoln's](\"http:\/\/d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net\/books\/1358266347l\/15809629.jpg\")
I loved Steve Sheinkin’s Bomb<\/strong><\/em> last year. I love that he always makes me understand a time in history better than I did before. He does it again with Lincoln’s Grave Robbers<\/em><\/strong>. I had no idea how popular grave robbing was or why it was done. I also didn’t know the impact of counterfeiters at the time of Lincoln and how counterfeiting and robbing Lincoln’s grave were connected.<\/p>\n![\"Perfect](\"http:\/\/d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net\/books\/1340716595l\/13580928.jpg\")
Perfect Scoundrels<\/strong><\/em> by Ally Carter is #3 in the Heist Society books, a series I look forward to. Kat is a teen from a criminal family and is very good at planning and carrying out involved heists. This latest installment is as much fun as the others, but read them in order!<\/p>\n![\"Vampire](\"http:\/\/d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net\/books\/1351213486l\/16085497.jpg\")
Finally, a picture book: Vampire Baby<\/strong><\/em> by my friend and classmate Kelly Bennett is about a young boy who believes his baby sister has become a vampire when she gets teeth and begins biting everything. He sets out to prove this to his parents. Funny and oh, so true. Youch!<\/p>\n
