New feature on the TAB blog!

Today, we're starting a new feature on the TAB blog! Yay! Every day, we'll put up information about a different YA book here at the library. That way, you'll always know what's new! Here's the first book:

The last knight - Hilari Bell

In alternate chapters, eighteen-year-old Sir Michael Sevenson, an anachronistic knight errant, and seventeen-year-old Fisk, his street-wise squire, tell of their noble quest to bring Lady Ceciel to justice while trying to solve her husband's murder.
