**Playaway Recomendations**
Airborn by Kenneth Oppel: Matt Cruse is a cabin boy on the airship Aurora. He dreams of becoming captain one day. However, many adventures lie ahead of him. He meets a girl, finds a new species, and fights air pirates. This is a fast paced novel.
Deadline by Chris Crutcher: Ben Wolf has been diagnosed with an incurable leukimia his senior year. He does not want to be treated differently, so he does not tell anyone about it--not even his brother or parents. This novel connects to some of the characters in Athletic Shorts.

Sandra Cisneros: Writes poetic novels and beautiful poems all of which deal with the latino exprience. She is one of my favorite authors. House On Mango Street is a must read.
Neil Gaiman: Writes great fantasy novels. Author of Coraline and Stardust (both made into movies). My new favorite book of his is The Graveyard Book.
Chris Crutcher: From Cascade, Idaho. Many of his locations are in Idaho. His characters are athletes experiencing hard times.
