REMEMBRANDT BY ROBIN KING
Alexandra Stewart doesn't just
walk down memory lane, she lives on it.
Her eidetic memory records her experiences and plays them back, DVD
style. It's great when she wants to ace
a test, but not so great when she topples over a cute boy in the hallway and
the humiliation plays back over and over and over . . . Brown University seems
like the perfect place for the seventeen-year-old to forget her past. Hope for a normal life comes in the form of a
handsome new running partner who makes her heart race and body perspire even
before she laces up her shoes.
When her Russian professor gives
her a puzzle that seems impossible to solve, Alex discovers that he has a
secret—one that will catapult her into a world of cryptic codes and covert
missions. As she tries to find a
balance between the two different worlds vying for her attention, her have relationships with the ones she cares about while hiding a
clandestine life, uncovering the truths of an underground enemy.
One thing is for certain,
whatever happens will be forever etched into her memory. And some things are better left forgotten.
REMEMBRANDT is the first in a young adult suspense series with playful romance, espionage, and a splash of mystery. Fans of Ally Carter's HEIST SOCIETY and
GALLAGHER GIRLS would enjoy reading this series.
150 Word Summary:
Seventeen-year-old Alexandra Stewart doesn't just walk
down memory lane, she lives on it. Her eidetic memory records and plays
back her memories, DVD style. It's great when she aces a test, but not so
great when she topples over a cute boy and the experience plays back on an endless loop of humiliation.
When her Russian professor gives her
an impossible puzzle, Alex discovers he has a secret—one that will catapult her
into a life of cryptic codes and covert missions. Of
course, running secret ops would be easier if she weren’t trying to impress her
handsome new running partner. As if love weren’t hard enough already, now she’s
trying to find it while dodging bullets and going undercover.
Two worlds vie for her attention and Alex is caught in a battle of heart and mind. If you think keeping secrets is easy - forget it.
50 Word Summary:
Alexandra starts a new semester at college,
hoping to escape her painful memories—a nearly impossible task with her eidetic memory
replaying everything in movie-esque detail. Things aren't always what they
seem: her handsome running partner shows up when she least expects it, her
Russian professor is anything but ordinary and Brown University holds a well-kept
secret.

"A Night at the Opera"
Pull out those fancy gowns and dust off those tuxes because we are joining Alexandra at the Mariinsky Theatre! We may not be seeing an actual opera in Russia, but there will be entertainment (a reading from Remembrandt by author, Robin King), cocktails (non-alcoholic, of course), and maybe a song or two. A prize drawing will be held for everyone dressed in their best opera attire. The author will be signing books that can be purchased from The King's English that night.
