I can't wait to read some books on the beach this summer. I am creating a pile of books...and this new series, "Cupcake Diaries" is at the top of my stack. I like their motto: When middle school gets tough, bake cupcakes! :-)

House of Secrets by Chris Columbus, Ned Vizzini
HarperCollins Publishers, Apr 25, 2013 THE HOUSE OF SECRETS follows three siblings and their family as they are forced to move to a mysterious new house in San Francisco and end up embarking on a journey to retrieve a dark book of untold power. When Brendan, Cordelia and Nell move to Kristoff House they have no idea that they are about to unleash the dark magic locked within. For the house once belonged to a crazed writer, whose stories have come to life. Literally. Now the Walker kids must battle against deadly pirates, bloodthirsty warriors and a bone-crunching giant. If they fail they will never see their parents again and a power-mad Witch will take over the world. No pressure then . . . House of Secrets is the first book in a major new series. It’s going to be epic. Partners Book Distributors in Holt had their educators sale today at 9:00 am. I arrived at 8:50 on a Saturday morning and was the ninth person in line!
