    • Ostrich Boys by Keith Gray
    • Fever Crumb by Philip Reeve 
    • The Body Finder by Kimberly Derting

    Ostrich Boys is a sweet, British novel about three boys who must learn to deal with their friend’s death. It sounds morbid, but it’s not. Fever Crumb is an interesting dystopian novel that I believe will be part of a series. It’s clever and doesn’t hold back, which makes it exciting as well. The Body Finder is a strong mystery, with enough suspense that I read it in one sitting because I had to know what happened. The ending was a bit too perfect, but after all the stress the main character goes through, it is rather nice.
