Erratum

As I look back I realize that it has been a VERY long time since my last entry. I apologize for the delay, but I have a good book for this entry!

I just finished "Erratum" by Walter Sorrells. If you are a fan of the Mysterious Benedict Society books then you are going to like this one. While the characters are not fully developed, you quickly get caught up in this exciting science fiction/suspense novel. Check out the summary below:

Always a reader, seventh-grader Jessica Sternhagen is intrigued by an old bookshop that appears in her small Minnesota town. There, she is given a curious book about herself that keeps changing. Our world, she learns, has alternate histories; her role is to keep it on the one true, correct path. She is, in fact, the guardian of the universe. But before she can save our world from disappearing, she and her best friend, Dale, have to make serious choices about which lives they want to live. This fast-paced science-fiction story involves theories about time, string theory, and dark energy as well as difficult questions about friendship and compassion. It also features the largest public library in the world, a scary dog named Cerberus, and a suspicious vacuum-cleaner salesman who wants to do away with books altogether. From Booklist.
