Click the link below to see pictures of the cast of Twilight. I'm not crazy about the choice for Edward. Anyone else have an opinion?

Teen Tech Fiction Recommendation

Epic
By: Conor Kostick
New Earth is an agrarian society where all violence has been banned. Battles are settled in Epic, a fantasy computer game, where citizens of New Earth accumulate wealth as well as settle their differences. When Erik’s father is unjustly punished by the ruling power, Central Allocations, it is up to Erik to find a way to save him. In trying to save his father, Eric must question the rules of Epic and decide if he is brave enough to confront Central Allocations and fight for his father's freedom. Conor Kostick, the author of Epic, was the creator of the world's first live fantasy role-playing game, so he brings a lot of knowledge about that type of gaming to the story. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys computer role-playing games or who loves fantasy books in general.

Teen Tech Novel Recommendation - Finding Lubchenko

Finding Lubchenko
By Michael Simmons

Having a millionaire father sounds like it would be nice, but Evan’s father wants him to learn the value of money, so he makes him work for his company earning minimum wage, but Evan has found a way to make his job pay more than minimum wage. His father’s company deals in medical technologies and there are always computers and printers lying around just asking to be taken, so Evan steals them sells them on Ebay. When Evan’s father is accused of murder, a crime Evan is sure he didn’t commit, he realizes that one of the stolen laptops contains an email that could be the key to unlocking the case. He could go to the cops, but that would mean admitting he had stolen the laptop in the first place. Instead, he and two of his friends decide to go to Paris to find Lubchecnko, the mysterious emailer, and identify the true murderer. This novel is great for readers who want a book that is fast-paced and suspenseful with a little romance and humor thrown in for good measure.
