The Invisible by Amelia Kahaney

The Invisible by Amelia Kahaney  291 pages

The most dangerous enemy is the one you can't see....

After a perilous accident that literally stopped her heart, Anthem Fleet was left with a jagged scar down the front of her chest - and a strength she is still learning to control. Her new powers helped her avenge the death of the boy she loved and led her deep into Bedlam City's dark underbelly, where she fought a network of shadowy criminals. But Anthem doesn't want to be the crime-fighting vigilante that Bedlam needs. She just wants to go to school, practice ballet, and help nurse Ford, her friend and partner, back to health.

But when a mysterious group called the Invisible starts attacking the privileged North Siders, Anthem's whole world is thrown into chaos. Invisible's threats seem like harmless pranks at first, but as their demands escalate, people start to die. Now Anthem must step up and be the hero that the city needs, or Bedlam will fall - once and for all.

Spooky Ballet! by Michael Broad

Spooky Ballet! by Michael Broad - 140 pages
Agent Amelia series #4

Amelia is a secret agent whose job is never done.  In the first story she must go undercover in a dreaded ballet class to stop a ballet teacher bent on revenge.  In the second story, Amelia must discover what is making a scarecrow talk and steal people's lunches.  In the final story, Amelia is pitted against a librarian bent on destroying all books so people must use the Internet.
I liked this easy chapter book for kids.  It was fun.  The writing and story development was particularly good for such a short book.  I'm going to look into ordering some of the series for our branch.
