Several books have come in lately that fans of those series will be excited to know about. We now have Princess Diaries VII: Princess on the Brink by Meg Cabot (two copies, both checked out so call and get on the holds list) and the fourth Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants book should be here any day now (you can place holds ahead of time by calling the youth desk). Also, just checked out today was a new (for us) companion book to the Alex Rider books by Anthony Horowitz called The Gadgets featuring descriptions & "blueprints" of all futuristic Batman-like gadgets used in the books. We now have four volumes in the "Bloody Jack Adventures," a lesser known, but great historical action-packed series by L.A. Meyer. Finally, a new addition to the picture book room is based on Eloise, a character that is funny enough for all ages. Eloise in Hollywood, is based on the original series written by Kay Thompson and illustrated by Hilary Knight.
