July 2009

Internal and external struggle, and, eventually, peaceful resolution, are the key ingredients in the heady potion that is HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS. The final installment in J. K. Rowling’s classic series is now available in paperback.

July’s roundup of New in Paperback titles also includes ECLIPSE, the fourth installment in Erin Hunter’s Warriors: Power of Three series, in which Firestar’s three grandchildren begin to discover what their prophesied power might mean for the future of the Clans; HAUNTED HIKE by Patrick Carman, the second Elliot’s Park chapter book that finds Elliot and his friends trying to figure out who is haunting the park on Halloween after they think they see a ghost in Camp Canyon; and SPELLBOUND, Anna Dale’s novel about an innocent summer holiday that turns out to be anything but for Athene and her younger brother, Zach, when they find themselves caught up in a skirmish between two groups of gnome-like creatures.
