What we are reading!!

 Tuesdays after school in the Glenwood Community High School Library.

City of Bones by Cassandra Clare   When fifteen-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemoniun Blub in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder -- much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons. Clary know she should call the police, but it's hard to explain a murder when the body disappears into thin air and murderers are invisible to everyone but Clary. Equally startled by her ability to see them, the mundanes explain themselves as Shadowhunters: a secret tribe of warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons. Within twenty0four hours, Clary's mother disappears and Clary herself is almost killed by a grotesque demon. But why would demons be interested in ordinary mundanes like Clary and her mother? And how did Clary suddenly get the Sight? The Shadowhunters would like to know . . .   Check out The Mortal Instruments web page!
