A Summer at the Luxe

The Luxe

By Anna Godbersen

Gossip Girl fans who are also somewhat into the decadence and intrigue of historical romance will love this one. The story begins with a mystery. Elizabeth Holland is found dead in the Holland River just before she is to be married to one of New York's richest heirs. Was it murder? Suicide? An accident? Who knows. What is known is that among the life of New York socialites at the end of the nineteenth century, nothing is set in stone. Intrigue, betrayal, star crossed lovers. It's all in here. Along with the beautiful dresses and strict adherance to manners. A great beach read. Teen Fiction

Ellen Page as Roller Derby Queen!

Derby Girl
by Shauna Cross







There's another teen title set to hit the big screen in the next year. This one is about a subject I find quite interesting. Derby Girl, by Shauna Cross is about a sixteen-year old roller derby queen. Bliss Cavendar revolts when her mother tries to get her to compete in a local beauty pageant. Bliss is not you average beauty pageant material. With her blue hair, and edgy look she stands out in her small town of Bodeen, Texas, and not in a good way.

In her search for a place to fit in, she joins a roller derby league in nearby Austin. Her life is changed forever.

This is the first title to showcase the growing popularity of roller derby leagues. Teams are popping up all over the country, from the United States to Canada. Cleveland has it's own Burning River Rolling Girls. They compete against teams from all over the Midwest at the North Olmsted Soccer Complex.

The Derby Girl movie will be called Whip It! It will star Juno's Ellen Page as Bliss and will be directed by Drew Barrymore. Look for it on the big screen in the Spring of 2009.
