Kit and Fancy Cordelle are sisters of the best kind: best friends, best confidantes, and best accomplices.

But in Portero, where the weird and wild run rampant, the Cordelle sisters are hardly the oddest or most dangerous creatures around.
October 1984 by George Orwell We will be meeting on October 21, 2016 in room 123 @3:00 pm Refreshments will be served! All are welcome to join
Written in 1948, 1984 was George Orwell’s chilling prophecy about the future. And while 1984 has come and gone, Orwell’s narrative is timelier than ever. 1984 presents a startling and haunting vision of the world, so powerful that it is completely convincing from start to finish. No one can deny the power of this novel, its hold on the imaginations of multiple generations of readers, or the resiliency of its admonitions—a legacy that seems only to grow with the passage of time.

Summer Reading 2016
"Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, and the numerous movies inspired by it all have one thing in common: the title. Beyond the name, Hollywood's green monster and Shelley's creation are a world apart. There are no cheap thrills in Shelley's Frankenstein, and the book has remained popular for nearly two centuries because it truly belongs with the classics. Shelley's message is more powerful today than ever, as mankind grows closer to bringing her nightmare to reality. In a world of cloning and gene splicing, where man plays God on a daily basis, we should all take heed of the Frankenstein's lesson. Prepare to be surprised by this novel, it is a one-of-a-kind, in style and content. Cryptic illustrations, provided by Richard Moyer, spark the imagination without spoiling the images of the mind's eye."
