Now he's sixteen and officially retired. That is, until Lily shows up suddenly at Gideon's door, needing his help. As a cover, Gideon joins Lily on the school paper. Surprisingly, he finds himself warming up to the welcoming, close-knit staff, especially Tess, the cute, witty editor-in-chief.

Communist regimes are crumbling across Europe. Seventeen-year-old Cristian Florescu dreams of becoming a writer, but Romanians aren't free to dream; they are bound by rules and force. Blackmailed by secret police, he's left with only two choices: betray everyone and everything he loves--or use his position to creatively undermine the most notoriously evil dictator in Eastern Europe. But what is the cost of freedom? <br />Ms. Woznick Beverly Middle School Librarianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13752879995370494905noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2061171522364188040.post-52100798112580942562023-05-16T19:29:00.008-04:002023-05-16T19:29:53.123-04:00My Mechanical Romance<h4 style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZhAcIRxudy2pwjPzcGD-Uu8rijuHhvbHfHIBuPHhHlGYJjxTr80MuF9pTDpb3ORTCMoBLvkmgds1Shh0_U25m-aKl2lnSORZq_SY33Cq1pNJfmshtFmYL8QGUG4WaA0s1oVZsgB7durQQpMAJk9IGpuff1cmf9T26E5KuXnrApE1VIrsR5QYbFNmgmw/s792/MyMechanicalRomance.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="792" data-original-width="533" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZhAcIRxudy2pwjPzcGD-Uu8rijuHhvbHfHIBuPHhHlGYJjxTr80MuF9pTDpb3ORTCMoBLvkmgds1Shh0_U25m-aKl2lnSORZq_SY33Cq1pNJfmshtFmYL8QGUG4WaA0s1oVZsgB7durQQpMAJk9IGpuff1cmf9T26E5KuXnrApE1VIrsR5QYbFNmgmw/w134-h200/MyMechanicalRomance.jpeg" width="134" /></a></div>by Alexene Farol Follmuth</h4>Bel would rather die than think about the future. College apps? You're funny. Extracurriculars? Not a chance. But when she accidentally reveals a talent for engineering at school, she's basically forced into joining the robotics club. Even worse? All the boys ignore Bel--and Neelam, the only other girl on the team, doesn't seem to like her either. Enter Mateo Luna, captain of the club, who recognizes Bel as a potential asset--until they start butting heads. Bel doesn't care about Nationals, while Teo cares too much. As the nights of after-school work grow longer and longer, Bel and Teo realize they've made more than just a combat-ready robot for the championship: they've made each other and the team better.
