Books of the Week
Finding Cassidy
By Laura Langston
Sixteen-year-old Cassidy can hardly believe it. Struggling to understand that she is the product of a "clean and businesslike arrangement," her biological father no more than an anonymous sperm donor, Cassidy is doubly devastated. Not only has her father been diagnosed with a fatal disease, but he has also confessed that he's not really her father.
Suddenly, Cassidy's worries about how to hold onto her popular boyfriend while not having sex and her geeky interest in birds no longer seem important. worse, she gets drunk and blurts out the news of her conception at a party and must face some shocking consequences. Like the turkey baster thrown her front window. On top of it all, Cassidy realizes she may never know who she really is.
Finding Cassidy is a tale of the tribulations all teenagers face, with a twist, and plenty of advice on what not to do!
Samurai
By Jason Hightman
Dragons. Masquerading as regular men and women, they walk unnoticed among their victims. But there are those who can see past the serpents' disguises. Simon St. George and his father, Aldric, the last living descendants of the legendary Saint George, drive fear into the hearts of the western dragons whom they hunt.
In the far east, the St. Georges must face a new threat of Asian dragons, aided by the samurai, a group of warriors bound by a pledge to rid their land of the creatures. As the dragons stealthily prepare for an international annihilation, the two groups must join forces to save mankind.
Brimming with unforgettable dragon lore and exotic adventure, Jason Hightman's riveting sequel to The Saint of Dragons delves deeper into the raging war between humans and dragons.
