HOT BOOKS

  • DOC by Mary Doria Russell

    Doc in the title is Dr. John Henry Holliday, known in U.S. Western lore as Doc Holliday; frontier dentist, gambler, and gunslinger. In Russell’s capable hands, the West of the 1878 era comes alive in the telling of the relationship between Doc Holliday and Wyatt Earp, a fearless Texas lawman. It was an unrestrained time in our history where arguments were settled with guns and saloons were filled with card sharks eager to relieve the cattlemen of their wages. Among the events depicted in the book is the famous battle at the O.K. Corral that forever links the names Holliday with Earp. It’s a wild, memorable read!

  • IN THE GARDEN OF BEASTS by Erik Larson

    Subtitled Love, Terror and an American Family in Hilter’s Berlin, this book vividly shows us the early years of Hitler’s Nazi Germany seen through the eyes and experiences of an American diplomat, William E. Dodd, and his family. At first enthralled with the Berlin assignment, Dodd soon became more and more troubled as he witnessed violence becoming common-place, especially toward the Jewish population. By following the Dodd family, Larson shows us a microcosm of life in Nazi Germany during Hitler’s rise to power. He also shows why the world did not realize early on the true nature of Hitler and his ruthless plan for domination.

  • KINGDOM KEEPERS IV: POWER PLAY by Ridley Pearson

    If you have Disney World fans in your house, they are going to enjoy the fourth book in the popular children’s Kingdom Keepers series. Not everything in the CyberSpace Mountain is as it should be. It’s the job of the young Kingdom Keepers to find out who is causing havoc and right it. It seems the Overtakers are at it again trying to steal the Disney “magic.”

MARYROSE WOOD

FRIDAY, MARCH 5; 7 PM @ The Greene

Children’s author, MARYROSE WOOD will introduce The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place: The Mysterious Howling, the first book in her humorous middle grade series.  The series is about a 15-year-old governess and her three charges—children who happen to have been raised by wolves.  They were found running wild in the forest of Ashton Place.  Who are they?  How did they get there?  How have they survived?   

Luckily, Miss Penelope Lumley is no ordinary governess.  Though she is eager to instruct the children in Latin verbs and the use of globes, she must first help them overcome their canine tendencies.    Alexander keeps his siblings in line with gentle nips.  Cassiopeia has a bark that is (usually) worse than her bite, and Beowulf is alarmingly adept at chasing squirrels.  These are not your usual traits for children!    How on earth will Penelope teach them table manners, let alone their ABC’s!   

Maryrose Wood is a former actor, comedian, and playwright and the author of novels for teens, including Why I Let My Hair Grow Out, How I Found the Perfect Dress, and What I Wore to Save the World.  The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place is her first series for middle-grade readers.
