Found

Harlan Coben's third installment in the Mickey Bolitar novels was released this past month and has been waiting for me patiently on my bedside table.  I knew better than to let it escape my grasp for fear it would fall into student (and faculty) hands and would not resurface again until Spring.  It's THAT popular!  And trust me, it's THAT good!  

Here's the blurb from the Amazon.com website... I am on chapter 4 and am soooo thankful the author catches the reader up so well.  Not only do middle school readers need this in a series, but so do busy library media specialists and teachers who read constantly.  :)

 "It’s been eight months since Mickey Bolitar witnessed the shocking, tragic death of his father. Eight months of lies, dark secrets, and unanswered questions. While he desperately wants answers, Mickey’s sophomore year of high school brings on a whole new set of troubles. Spoon is in the hospital, Rachel won’t tell him where he stands, his basketball teammates hate him . . . and then there’s Ema’s surprise announcement: She has an online boyfriend, and he’s vanished.

As he’s searching for Ema’s missing boyfriend (who may not even exist!), Mickey also gets roped into helping his nemesis, Troy Taylor, with a big problem. All the while, Mickey and his friends are pulled deeper into the mysteries surrounding the Abeona Shelter, risking their lives to find the answers—until the shocking climax, where Mickey finally comes face-to-face with the truth about his father."

I'm now going to enjoy my time with Found...
Happy Reading!
