Michelle Samuel Ryan is a typical freshman. He attends school events such as football games, he hangs out with his friends, and like most teen boys he has a crush on the hot new teacher. Ryan was happy with his daydreams of dating an older woman as gorgeous as his teacher. Never in a million years did he imagine that his teacher would want to date him. It started off with Ryan doing extra credit assignments for Lori, his teacher. Then Lori made her move, she invited Ryan to her apartment to help her move furniture. From there it went to secret meetings at a coffee shop. From there Ryan and Lori's relationship begins to move way beyond a student teacher relationship. Check the catalog to see if it's in.

It seems the girls will forever live in fear of A until a simple phrase that Emily says to Hanna brings her memory back. "Don't believe everything you hear", suddenly Hanna remembers who A is; great news right? It would be if Spencer wasn't with A when Hanna remembers.

Michelle Samuel Do you believe in witches? Well Kyle Kingsbury didn't until he was turned into a beast by one. Kyle was the type of guy that every girl wanted. He was cute, had a famous dad, and knew how to charm a girl. Even though every girl liked Kyle, Kyle did not like every girl. He only liked the girls who were as gorgeous as him. He treated the girls who he thought were not so cute terribly. Well one of those girls that he treated horribly turned out to be a witch and she wanted to teach Kyle a lesson. So she turned him into a beast and the only way he could be turned back to his old self was by falling in love with someone, have them fall in love with him as well, and kiss him; but he only had two years to do this. Kyle couldn't believe what had happened to him. He looked hideous, how was he going to get a girl to fall in love with him and kiss him. A year passes and Kyle has been living in a brownstone in Brooklyn with only his housekeeper and blind tutor. He has just about given up hope of ever breaking the curse until an intruder breaks into his home. In order to avoid being arrested the intruder offers his teenage daughter to Kyle and Kyle accepts. To find out if this girl will be the one to finally break Kyle's curse read Beastly. ]]> tag:www.nassaulibrary.org,2008:/freeportteenblog//33.3059 2008-06-10T19:12:33Z 2008-06-10T20:16:45Z

Michelle Samuel Marcus and Eddie, known as Black and White to their friends, are best friends living in Long Island City Queens. They are stars of their High School basketball team and being scouted by the best schools in the area. Everything is going great for them except they wished they had more money. Black lives in the projects and White lives in a house right outside of the projects. They need money for their upcoming Senior dues and just to keep up with the latest fashion out. At first they saved money the good old way by saving their allowance but that took to long and wasn't enough. Like many people Black and White wanted to get rich quick so they decided to start sticking people up. White took a gun that belonged to his deceased grandfather and the boys used that to rob people. Everything seemed to be going good for the boys until one night a robbery went wrong. Somehow White pulled the trigger on the gun and the man they were robbing got shot. Neither one of the boys knew if the man died until the night of a big game when Black was arrested. The man that White shot had identified Black as one of the robbers. Black kept his mouth shut and refused to give White up but eventually the cops got him too and he was arrested. Black and White's great lives of playing college ball and then going pro are being pulled out from under them fast. To find out what happens to Black and White read Black and White by Paul Volponi.
