Cinder is part one of a series (I know, so many series these days). Written by Marissa Meyer,Cinder is based off the idea of Cinderella; all the books in the series focus on a fairy tale legend. Book 2 is about little red riding hood, but Cinder will still make an appearance. Is that to say guys won't like it because it is about fairy tales and princesses and such? NO! Everyone can enjoy Cinder. The book is named after the main character who is the best mechanic in the new empire in China. Set in the future, the focus is not about Cinder and the prince falling in love, far from it actually. The plot centers around the plague that is wiping out the world's population. Though the empire is working tirelessly for a cure, they cannot come up with one. Unfortunately for them, another empire, the Lunars, does have the cure, but taking help from them comes with strings attached. A lot of strings. The kinds that are dangerous and come for you when you least expect it. Though Cinder thinks she can find a way to help save the empire, only time (and reading the book) will tell if she succeeds before the Lunars do. It is good stuff, you should check it out. The school's library has the entire 3 book series.

Note From Ms. PIt will probably come as no surprise that I am an avid reader. I have also been spending a lot of time in the Dawn Hodges Library here at WAAS evaluating what books we can add to have students really READING. Some of you already read on your own, which is great because reading opens your mind to new ideas and possibilities you might not otherwise think of. It helps you to imagine and live in a new world for a little while, which is something we all need sometimes. Archives
