FINISHED:
Bertman, Jennifer Chambliss. (2017). The Unbreakable Code [Book Scavenger #2]. New York: Henry Holt/Macmillan.

[Thoroughly enjoyed the first book in this series, and the author, who is also thoroughly enjoyable, came to my library for a reading/signing after Book Scavenger came out.  She emailed me a few months ago to let me know that the sequel was coming, and asked if I'd like an advanced copy.  Well, of course!  It finally came the other day, along with a lovely note from Ms. Bertman saying that I should look on page 349.  She name-checked me in the Acknowledgments!  And, I'm proud to have been called out on this one because it's REALLY FUN.  I'm going to say that it actually improves upon the original in that it is much more streamlined and singularly focused.  Kids all across the world will enjoy it, but living here in San Francisco and getting to read about kids traveling all over this city is amazing.  Jennifer, FANTASTIC job!]

[My husband said that I had to read this one.  I guess that it mirrors our situation, though, hopefully not too much because it seems to deal with his being evicted from his San Francisco apartment...]

FINISHED:
Hale, Nathan. (2017). One Trick Pony. New York: Amulet/Abrams.

[This was a GREAT ONE!  Set in a future where the world has been decimated by a race of invading aliens, 3 young people are out exploring a cave, looking for any old technological items they can find.  They are part of a caravan of folks who are conservators of some of the last known remains of human civilization (books, films, technology, etc.).  The young explorers come across a treasure trove of forgotten tech, including a robot horse that bonds with the girl of the group.  Unfortunately, their waking up the long-buried tech alerts the Pipers (bubble-blowing aliens who eat technology... and humans).]
