Welcome back to Processor’s Owl’s Book Corner’s ~ Weekly Newsletter. You will still find our usual special pages along with other interesting things to do.
So, starting this week, we will start back with more of our usual sections:
For the month of February, we will be giving a review of one extra book to celebrate Black History Month every week.
The Journey of Little Charlie Hardcover – Feb. 1 2018
Newbery Medalist Christopher Paul Curtis brings his trademark humor and heart to the story of a boy struggling to do right in the face of history’s cruelest evils.
Twelve-year-old Charlie is down on his luck: His dad just died, the share crops are dry, and Cap’n Buck ― the most fearsome man in Possum Moan, South Carolina kep― has come to collect a debt. Fearing for his life, Charlie strikes a deal with Cap’n Buck and agrees to track down some thieves. It’s not too bad of a bargain for Charlie… until he comes face-to-face with the fugitives and discovers that they escaped slavery years ago and have been living free in Detroit. Torn between his guilty conscience and his survival instinct, Charlie needs to figure out his next move ― and soon. It’s only a matter of time before Cap’n Buck catches on…This is one of my favourite books by this author, and my first choice for Black History month. It was a wonderful read, which kept me reading and unable to put it down until I had reached the very last page. Over the next few weeks, I will add one more book each week as an addition to our usual book of the month.

These Deadly Games Hardcover – Feb. 1 2022
“A propulsive mystery with high stakes and devious, masterful twists that will leave you guessing until the very last page. Diana Urban’s latest had my jaw on the floor.” ―Jessica Goodman, bestselling author of They Wish They Were Us
Let’s play a game.
You have 24 hours to win. If you break my rules, she dies. If you call the police, she dies. If you tell your parents or anyone else, she dies.
Are you ready?
When Crystal Donavan gets a message on a mysterious app with a picture of her little sister gagged and bound, she agrees to play the kidnapper’s game. At first, they make her complete bizarre tasks: steal a test and stuff it in a locker, bake brownies, make a prank call.
But then Crystal realizes that each task is meant to hurt―and kill―her friends, one by one. But if she refuses to play, the kidnapper will kill her sister. Is someone trying to take her team out of the running for a gaming tournament? Or have they uncovered a secret from their past, and wants them to pay for what they did…
Excellent storytelling: These Deadly Games takes you on a thrilling ride full of twists and turns and loops that leave you thrilled and excited throughout the entire book! Another great book that I could not put down until I reached the very last page. If you love suspense, thrillers, mystery YA novels, this is a must read!
Author of All Your Twisted Secrets, Diana Urban’s explosive sophomore novel, These Deadly Games, is a must-read, propulsive YA thriller with deadly stakes, stunning twists, and a shocking ending you’ll never forget―perfect for fans of I Know What You Did Last Summer and One of Us Is Lying.
Both books are available from http://www.amazon.ca, http://www.amazon.com, http://www.kobo.com Other fine bookstores and your Local and School Libraries.
