Crank It Up--Young Adult Books on Disc are now on the 2nd floor!

Posted by Brian on Thursday, Sep 5, 2013

Rather listen to Young Adult books than read them?  You're in luck, because ICPL has YA Books on Disc, and they're now located on the 2nd floor with the rest of the Young Adult collection.  I recently ordered new titles too.  Favorites from the beginning of summer were finally released: The Moon and More by Sarah Dessen, The Testing by Joelle Charbonneau and The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey.  Also, hot fall releases like Allegiant by Veronica Roth, Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell and Rose Under Fire by Elizabeth Wein are on order.  Check out our YA eAudio too!

  • The fallen star

    by Claudia Gray

    SCIENCE FICTION Star Wars

    In this gripping sequel to Star Wars: The Rising Storm, the light of the Jedi faces its darkest hour. Time and again, the vicious raiders known as the Nihil have sought to bring the golden age of the High Republic to a fiery end. Time and again, the High Republic has emerged battered and weary, but victorious thank to its Jedi protectors - and there is no monument to their cause grander than the Starlight Beacon. Hanging like a jewel in the Outer Rim, the Beacon embodies the High Republic at the apex of its aspirations: a hub of culture and knowledge, a bright torch against the darkness of the unknown, and an extended hand of welcome to the furthest reaches of the galaxy. As survivors and refugees flee the Nihil’s attacks, the Beacon and its crew stand ready to shelter and heal. The grateful Knights and Padawans of the Jedi Order stationed there finally have a chance to recover - from the pain of their injuries and the grief of their losses. But the storm they thought had passed still rages; they are simply caught in its eye. Marchion Ro, the true mastermind of the Nihil, is preparing his most daring attack yet - one designed to snuff out the light of the Jedi.

    The last adult novel of Phase 1 of The High Republic was a doozy. The writing team said that not everyone would make it out alive, and they weren't kidding. I've really enjoyed all of these Star Wars novels. It has been a treat to explore a new time period. They've announced that the next wave won't begin until October. That's okay, though, cause I need a breather after this one! -Brian
