Library Notes from Kathy Over Sea, Under Stone by Susan Cooper (pre-teen) "I DID NOT KNOW THAT YOU CHILDREN WOULD BE THE ONES TO FIND IT OR WHAT DANGER YOU WOULD BE PUTTING YOURSELVES IN." Throughout time, the forces of good and evil have battled continuously, maintaining the balance. Whenever evil forces grow too powerful, a champion of good is called to drive them back. Now, with evil's power rising and a champion yet to be found, three siblings find themselves at the center of a mystical war. Jane, Simon, and Barney Drew have discovered an ancient text that reads of a legendary grail lost centuries ago. The grail is an object of great power, buried with a vital secret. As the Drews race against the forces of evil, they must piece together the text's clues to find the grail -- and keep its secret safe until a new champion rises.
Into the Flames by Robert Elmer (pre-teen) Twelve-year-old Peter and Elise Andersen have secretly taken on a risky new assignment—delivering illegal newspapers for the Danish Underground! Bringing news of freedom and deliverance to the people of Denmark seems like the perfect way to help fight the Nazis—until soldiers nearly sabotage their mission. Is class troublemaker Keld Poulsen spying on Peter and Elise? Will he report them to the Nazis? Armed with secret code names, Peter and Elise must elude Keld in spite of his threats. When the Nazis plot to raid newspaper headquarters, the twins rush to help their friends in the Underground—but will they find themselves cornered by German soldiers?
