Love, Meg A novel by C. Leigh Purtill


This looks like a pretty good book!! Check this out!!!




Fifteen-year-old Meg Shanley knows two things: first, her older sister Lucie is the only family she has. Second, Lucie will uproot her to a new town and a new school at least once a year. This time, it's Hollywood. Alone and lonely in LA, Meg settles into a familiar routine. She scopes out New Friend candidates and determines the shortest distance between home, school and Starbucks. Then Meg discovers a secret that turns her whole world upside down. She has a family she never knew about--an uncle and a grandmother--in Queens, New York. Meg is convinced she can have the dream life she's always wanted. She defies Lucie and flies to Queens. When she arrives--three thousand miles from everything she's ever known--she discovers that real love has always been just a letter away. "Love, Meg is about making the most out of every bend in life's road - the shocks, the betrayals, and the wonderful surprises. If you've ever had a celebrity crush, you'll love Meg, and her story will keep you guessing" --Maureen Johnson, Author of "13 Little Blue Envelopes" and "The Bermudez Triangle"

City of Bones book trailer

This is a GREAT BOOK!!!

Meet an Author

On Wednesday, October 6, the Dakota County Library welcomes Frank Beddor, author of the popular teen trilogy Looking Glass Wars, and the Hatter M graphic novels.

Frank grew up a ski champion in Excelsior, MN but now resides in Los Angeles where he has been a film producer (There’s Something About Mary), and a stunt man before he began writing novels for teens. He is currently CEO of Automatic Pictures, a film, television and interactive game production company.
His Looking Glass Wars trilogy takes the classic 19th century children’s tale of Alice in Wonderland off into a truly unexpected literary territory – the battlefields of epic fantasy. The fantasy-based intrigue and dimension-hopping may remind some readers of another little-girl trilogy, His Dark Materials, but there’s also a sci-fi layer over the tale that syncs up with the The Matrix, a different story with key touches of Carroll imagery. The Looking Glass Wars unabashedly challenges our Wonderland assumptions of mad tea parties, sleepy dormice, and a curious little blonde girl to reveal an epic battle in the endless war for Imagination.
On Wednesday, October 6, come and meet the author who created the heroic, passionate, monstrous, vengeful denizens of this parallel world as they battle each other with AD-52's and orb generators, navigate the Crystal Continuum, bet on jabberwock fights and travel across the Chessboard Desert. He’ll be at the Robert Trail Library from 3:00-4:30 p.m., and the Galaxie Library from 7:00-8:15 p.m.

You can find more about Frank at http://www.lookingglasswars.com/about-folder/FBbio.pdf
Call 651-450-2941 for more information.
