We have had an influx of books over the last couple of weeks – our favourite time in the library is opening a new book that nobody else has read before (librarians’ catnip!).
Here are just a few of what we have:
When sixteen-year-old Kyra Agnew wakes up behind a Dumpster at the Gas’n’Sip, she has no memory of how she got there. With a terrible headache and a major case of deja vu, she heads home only to discover that five years have passed… yet she hasn’t aged a day.

Rene’s twin brother Theo lies unconscious in hospital after a freak accident left him with massively disrupted brain function. There is hope, though. An experimental procedure – risky, scientifically exciting and ethically questionable – could allow him to gain a new life.
But what life, and at what cost?
