 (Assassin's Creed: Assassins #1-5)

I love Assassins Creed. I love how it has hooked a stack of lads into real history. I love how the novels fly out the door carried by gamers, and these books are consumed. These readers - mostly boys- are sucking back history,and they are learning about what makes us - us. It is covert and I love it.
This comic series of 5 all nicely packaged in one issue in graphic novel form is based on the Salem Witch Trails in 1692 and tucked in the back is a full description of the true historical events of the day. Excellent stuff!

Welcome to the Brotherhood, Charlotte De La Cruz...
Discovered due to her excellent gaming abilities in the Helix, the Assassins come to her to help them explore the memories of her ancestor, Tom Stoddard, an Assassin active in Salem, Massachusetts during the Witch Trials. She (much like Desmond and others before her) begins to experience "the Bleeding Effect" and her real world skills are gained quickly.
In the real world, they are trying to save one of their own from the Templars, who may or may not be a spy, sharing secrets about the location of a "Piece of Eden". Ultimately, what you think would happen, the former Assassin joining the Templars for revenge reasons... Charlotte makes her first kill... and the bad guys get away- Adam

By: Chloe Phillips- Harris Location: FIC HAR  Genre: Real life horse race- Mongolia! This book is about an amazing kiwi woman challenging herself on a big adventure! I love stories like this for our students! Check out her Facebook page- it is inspirational; https://www.facebook.com/ChloeAdventurer/ The real-life adventures of a young woman pushing the limits, trusting her instincts and living her life off the beaten path Suffering through searing pain and delirious illness in frigid, makeshift conditions, Chloe Phillips-Harris, at the age of 25 years, summoned every ounce of determination to brave the world's most gruelling horse race - the Mongol Derby. This 1000-kilometre endurance race across the wild steppes, desert and mountains of Mongolia - a competition with no marked course, no support team, that requires riders to switch horses every 40 km - saw almost half the competitors drop out along the way, but Chloe persevered. Fearless  recounts Chloe's childhood g...

By: Martin Handford Location: Wherever you might find Wally- there the book is! Genre: Still looking for one. So one of our students who left school last year thought it humerous to circle all the Wally's or Waldo's if you are from Europe- in our books- first one made me smile- but by the time I had seen this in all three books- I was not! Because you all love Wally so much- we bought you some new books! Enjoy and keep Wally's whereabouts a secret!!

 By: Kelsey Rodkey Location: FIC ROD Genre: Young Adult Romance Fans of Elise Bryant and Rachel Lynn Solomon will swoon for Last Chance Books author Kelsey Rodkey’s next romance, packed with snark, banter, and inconvenient crushes. Saine Sinclair knows a little something about what makes a story worth telling. Your childhood best friend refuses to kiss you during a pre-adolescent game of spin the bottle? Terrible, zero stars, would not replay that scene again. The same ex-friend becomes your new best friend’s ex? Strangely compelling, unexpected twist, worth a hate-watch. That same guy—why is he always around? —turns out to be your last shot at getting into the documentary filmmaking program of your dreams? Saine hates to admit it, but she’d watch that movie. There’s something about Holden that makes her feel like she’s the one in front of the camera—like he can see every uncomfortable truth she’s buried below the surface. Saine knows how her story’s supposed to go. So why does eve...
