This book is not NEW new, but it is new to us here at The Public Library of New London. It’s fresh out of the box and freshly covered… Carry On, by Rainbow Rowell (who you might recognize because she wrote Eleanor & Park and Fangirl), “has as much kissing and talking as you’d expect from a Rainbow Rowell story- but far, far more monsters.”
As a reader and an artist, I need my book covers to look catchy. This one is all in the neon title: Kill The Boy Band. It looks great, and according to the author it is only “partially auto-biographical....” The book jacket describes it as a pitch-black, hilarious take on fandom and the badass girls who have the power to make – or break – the people we call “celebrities.”
In this new mad-cap, horror-gory, science tale, we’re in high school in Hollow Pine, Texas with Tor Frankenstein, who is a science superstar and… not a very good driver. But with her prowess she’ll just patch some life back into the dead?!…

If you’re sweating the college admissions process, or you’re freaking out about where to go to school, this book will ease your mind.

YOU yourself matter more than where you go to school. If you’re not too worried about college stuff, your parents might be… and this could help them calm down as well!
