MacHale, D.J., Black Moon Rising (The Library #2), 293 pgs.
Random House, 2017. $16.99. Language: G; Mature Content: PG (tense
situations, witchcraft), Violence: PG (use of a sacrificial dagger).
Middle Schools can be scary places even without
supernatural forces making them even more weird and creepy. Marcus, an agent of the library, and his two
friends, Lu and Theo, have to figure out what is causing a disruption at
Coppell Middle School. There is a black
moon rising on Halloween and Marcus and friends race against time and a coven
of witches to thwart this new disruption.
The second book in the library series delivers! This book is fairly intense. I
found myself reading faster and faster to find out what was going to happen to
the characters, and only just stopped myself from skipping ahead to the
ending. MacHale stirs in just enough
humor to brew up a great read that has action and life threatening decisions
amidst the angst of middle school. Grab
a snack, grab this book and for sure skip going to a middle school Fright Night
carnival on Halloween.
MS - ESSENTIAL.
