Fury series.
As the Furies, reincarnated from Greek mythology, continue to wreak havoc on Ascension High, Em, JD, and Crow struggle to understand what's happening. The complexities of friendships, romances, and family relationships provide the fodder both for the Furies' torment and the inspiration for banishing them. The outcome for the sympathetic survivors of Fury and Envy is predictable in this trilogy-ender.

YA
High school dramas turn, literally, into Greek tragedies when three mysterious girls wreak revenge on selfish students. Chase, the quarterback desperate to maintain his image, and Em, the nice girl pining for her BFF's guy, try to elude modern incarnations of the Furies. Strong descriptive writing helps Miles overcome dependence on stereotyped characters in this creative supernatural-meets-contemporary-realism tale.

Real World Data series.
The concept behind this series is promising: let's teach students about graphs using real data related to a topic. In Planet, for example, a double-page spread briefly discusses Earth's layers (crust, mantle, outer core, inner core), and a bar graph reveals their different thicknesses. Some stock photos and illustrations decorate the pages. Sources for the graphical data are not noted. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind. Review covers these Real World Data titles: Graphing Habitats, Graphing Water, Graphing Planet Earth, Graphing Energy, Graphing Food and Nutrition, and Graphing Population.
