I'm your librarian, Ms. Cowan! Ms. Peggy and I can't wait to help you find books you will LOVE!
I have been teaching for the past 20 years. I became the library media specialist at PCHS in 2019. Before that, I taught English here at PC. I love to read and will be happy to help you with anything you need!
What is Ms. Cowan Reading???
This book reminded me of Stranger Things in a way. A town in a battle with a horrible weapon that the Government has unleashed in the form of an arcade video game.
She is the very thing he’s spent his whole life hunting.
He is the very thing she’s spent her whole life pretending to be.
Only the extraordinary belong in the kingdom of Ilya—the exceptional, the empowered, the Elites.
The powers these Elites have possessed for decades were graciously gifted to them by the Plague, though not all were fortunate enough to both survive the sickness and reap the reward. Those born Ordinary are just that—ordinary. And when the king decreed that all Ordinaries be banished in order to preserve his Elite society, lacking an ability suddenly became a crime—making Paedyn Gray a felon by fate and a thief by necessity.
Surviving in the slums as an Ordinary is no simple task, and Paedyn knows this better than most. Having been trained by her father to be overly observant since she was a child, Paedyn poses as a Psychic in the crowded city, blending in with the Elites as best she can in order to stay alive and out of trouble. Easier said than done.
As a southern Ky High school librarian, I always love Silas House books! This is his first mystery and it didn't disappoint! Set in the 1950's in a small lake town just below the town of Monticello (where I grew up) made for such an interesting context to read about. Murder, mystery, small town scandal and politics makes for a quick and fun read!
