Book of the Week

The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton

A tiny girl is abandoned on a ship headed for Australia in 1913. She arrives completely alone with nothing but a small suitcase containing a few clothes and a single book—a beautiful volume of fairy tales. Taken in by the dockmaster and his wife and raised as their own, she does not learn of her past until her twenty-first birthday, and with her sense of self shattered and very little to go on, "Nell" sets out to trace her real identity.  A spellbinding tale of mystery and self-discovery, The Forgotten Garden will take hold of your imagination and never let go.

Teen Book of the Week

Notes from the Blender by Brendan Halpin & Trish Cook

Just as the title suggests, Notes from a Blender has a ton of elements mixed into one contemporary story about two angry and confused teenagers learning the meaning of family. Mix up a little bit of heartbreak, a touch of grief, two tablespoons of divorce, one cup of homosexuality, with a pinch of bullying and you get one touching, relatable, humorous story.

Book of the Week

February by Lisa Moore

February takes a single moment of disaster – the 1982 sinking of the oil rig Ocean Ranger off the coast of Newfoundland -- and explores the impact of this catastrophe on the life of one woman -- Helen -- and her family. Moore unwinds the subtle and extraordinary threads of grief and humour as Helen slowly comes to terms with how the disaster has irrevocably altered her, her children and her life’s path.
