This is a really great picture book about a colony of bats who fly into the library and make all sorts of amazing discoveries. They do lots of funny things... like photocopy themselves and bath in the water fountain. They also read a lot of books. What's great about this book is the illustrations. Although they are dark, they aren't scary. There are also opportunities to look for familiar literary characters (like Little read Riding Hood or Peter Rabbit).

Miranda Tate's life is over - at the very least her social life. After "borrowing" and maxing out her stepmother's credit card, her father puts his foot down - it's off to boarding school. Miranda is sent to Bard Academy a gothic school situated on a small island off the coast of Maine. The school Guardians have confiscated her CD player, her laptop, anything that runs on batteries and even her hair dryer. She's surrounded by juvenile "delinquents" - including her Goth roommate. How is a stylish New Yorker to fit in?
