I am a GENIUS of UNSPEAKABLE EVIL and I want to be your CLASS PRESIDENT
by Josh Lieb

Picture the movie Rushmore meets Artemis Fowl - that's this book. It's darkly funny at some points and fantastically silly at others. Everyone in Omaha thinks that 12 year old Oliver Watson is a loser. Not that Oliver cares what other people think. You see, Oliver is really an evil genius with a secret evil empire that has made him the third richest person on earth! But when Oliver’s father challenges him to win the school election, suddenly what other people think becomes important. Can Oliver win over his classmates and rule his empire all while keeping his identity a secret ? It’s a lot harder than you might think! Reviewed by: Alia (YA Fiction)

Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater

Hey Team Jacob, this is the book you wish Twilight was! Sam is a werewolf who spends only a shorter and shorter time each year as a human. For years, Grace has loved Sam from afar as her yellow-eyed wolf. When she meets him in human form it is love at first sight. But it can't last. Sam’s transformation is controlled not by the moon, but by temperature, and winter is right around the corner. As the weather gets colder, Grace and Sam must fight to stay together. You’ll want to curl up under a warm blanket to read this romance. You can almost feel the chill in the air as the temperature drops and Grace and Sam’s situation becomes more desperate.
