Book of the Week
|
Inventing Elliot by
Graham Gardner
Teased by bullies in
his old school, Elliot is determined to
reinvent himself at Holminister High by
donning a cool, unflappable exterior.
Ironically, the fourteen-year-old's
aloofness earns the interest of an elite
group of bullies, known as the Guardians,
whose members target school losers for
punishment in cruel and ritualistic ways.
The outwardly congenial Guardian leaders,
who are never seen "in the company of
actual violence," recruit Elliot using
control tactics adopted from their
favorite book, George Orwell's 1984. With
no way out, Elliot twists and turns,
trying to find just the right masks to
hide behind, for the Guardians, for his
beleaguered parents, for the girl, Louise,
whose radiance is the only color in his
pinched life.
The "Book of the Week"
is available for checkout at the library
circulation desk.
