The Declaration by Gemma Malley

Imagine that you could live forever...

What would you do, where would you go?

But if everybody lived forever it would be pretty crowded wouldn't it and resources would be scarce wouldn't they?

So perhaps we wouldn't want any new people to be born - to take up space, to use resources

What would happen to people who wanted children, who refused to sign The Declaration.

This is the first book in a trilogy which is a great tale of what happens when children are banned and death is defeated.
What is important in your life when it will never end?



Paper Towns coming soon

John Green's novel Paper Towns has been made as a movie and will be released in the United States in July. The official poster has been released and a trailer will follow soon.

We have a new copy of the novel on order so get a head start on the film and read the novel first!



What did you read this summer?

I read...

The Coldest Girl in Coldtown by Holly Black

Tana lives in a world where walled cities called Coldtowns exist. In them, quarantined monsters and humans mingle in a decadently bloody mix of predator and prey. And once you pass through Coldtown's gates, you can never leave.

When an ordinary party turns into a massacre Tana has no choice but to go to Coldtown - will she be able to find a way out?

This is a great drama/romance with a vampire theme. A movie has been made and will be heading our way soon.
