Hush Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick

I just finished a young adult book called Hush Hush.  I have mixed feelings about the book as a whole.  I liked the premise of the story - fallen angels and immortals but found the explanations as well as the telling of that part of the story to be lacking.  I definitely liked the characters - they were well developed and were likeable (or unlikeable).  This is Becca Fitzpatricks first time publishing so I think we can forgive her for the holes in the story.  I look forward to her future writings!

Yayo at the library

Today we had an illustrator visit the library.  Diego Herrera who goes by the name Yayo spoke to the students from Merton Elementary.  It was a very interesting presentation.  The students were full of good questions and were presented with souvenirs at the end.  Thanks for the great presentation Yayo!
