Return to Daemon Hall :Evil Roots

by Andrew Nance
Gr 8 Up-Horror writer Ian Tremblin has decided to hold another writing contest, which includes a frightful evening of storytelling by the competitors and judges. But unlike last year's tragic event held at Daemon Hall, this contest will be held in a secure location-Tremblin's home. What no one understands is the power of the twisted and evil Book of Daemon Hall. It is the source behind all the gruesome occurrences that have plagued this area and is now in Tremblin's possession. Each contestant spins a story using titles from its table of contents and, as a result, things quickly spin out of control. As he did in Daemon Hall (Holt, 2007), Nance weaves a gripping story full of bone-chilling horror.

Beauty Queens

by Libba Bray

Bray follows her Printz Award-winner, Going Bovine, with an only slightly less absurd premise in this out-there satire about a planeload of teen beauty queens who crash onto a (not so) deserted island. Lord of the Flies with an evening gown competition, anyone? Led by the indefatigable Miss Texas, Taylor Rene Krystal Hawkins, the 14 surviving contestants must rely on competitive moxie. Halfway through the ordeal, a boat full of shirtless, reality TV pirates runs aground, allowing for some smoking hot scenes. Fun footnotes, contestant profiles, and scripted commercial breaks are interspersed. There's a lot of message, but every time the story veers toward sermonizing, Bray corrects with another crack about our media-saturated, appearance-obsessed, consumer-driven society.
