Mrs. Hinders--why you no have the Walking Dead??

Lots of students are asking about the Walking Dead books and whether or not we can get them in our library.  The answer, unfortunately, is no. The Walking Dead books are not like other graphic novels--they are actually collections of the Walking Dead comics, which were written for adults.  They have adult themes, graphic violence, and sexual content.  I think many of our Bunger students are mature enough to handle these kinds of issues--in fact, some of the novels in our library contain these same controversial themes. However, we cannot have books in the library that have pictures or graphics that depict adult themes--particularly when it comes to sexual content and nudity.

The Waterloo Public Library has the books available.  If you are really interested in reading them, check with you parents first!

Best Book of the Week

The best book I read this week was Silver Shadows by Richelle Mead.  This is the fifth book in the Bloodlines series, and I had been waiting ALL SUMMER for it!  I never read the Vampire Academy series (which takes place before Bloodlines), but I love the main characters, Sydney and Adrian, SO MUCH!  Sydney is an Alchemist, a race of people who protect humans from vampires.  Adrian is a vampire, and even though it's forbidden, the two of them fall in love and must find a way to be together.  This book begins with Sydney trapped in an Alchemist "rehabilitation" center--which is really just a prison.  Adrian is desperate to find her and recruits their friends to help.  Great series and great read!

    This was a tough read--brutal violence against others and characters who bring out both love and hatred. Beautifully done, but heartbreakingly so.
