Gators Read (Book Review)

Evil Librarian
by Michelle Knudsen

"Maybe librarians get points or something for all the books that get checked out, points that can be redeemed for valuable goods and services, like fancy date stamps or maybe those reading posters with the celebritites on them holding books, and he has a master plan to get all the points he can by charming all the charmable kids in the school and getting  them to read a lot.  Maybe it's not even his master plan; maybe it's like, the American Library Association's master plan, and they are stocking high schools across the country with hot young librarians as part of a massive literacy initiative."-p.22 Evil Librarian

Why I picked it: The title. Enough said.

What I thought:  I LOVED this book.  It was unbelievably funny!  Cyn, the main character, is likeable and has you rooting for her to save the day and get the guy!  There were so many passages in the book where I would put sticky notes to come back and read it again because it was either clever or really funny.  While the book has a definite ending, there is potential for a sequel and it would be awesome!

Who should read it:  Reader beware: This book is on the older middle-grade end of the spectrum.  There is some language.  I would strongly encourage 8th grade and up to read it.

Gator gives it (out of 4):
