Lions plan festivities Correspondent Anne Fowler 832-1204 Due to the mail strike, invitations to the Lions Club annual New Years Eve party will be delayed. People who attended last year are asked to call Ken Kennedy at 832â€"1408. This gala party, featuring the Pete Dymont 0r- chestra. includes dinner, dancing (some square dances too), and door prizes for the admission of $25 per couple. This week‘s choices include three exceptionally good books for those difficult-to-suit readers betâ€" ween about 13 and 16 years old. Library users of this age are no longer quite satisfied by juvenile fare, yet they need themes, characters and literary styles somewhat different from those usually found in adult novels. Down a Dark Hall, by Lois Duncan This suspenseful new novel by the author of I Know What You Did Last Summer tells the strange story of a perceptive girl who is enrolled in an ex- clusive, newly established boarding academy. Once there. she discovers that the mansion housing the school exudes an atmosphere of menace and evil. Every morning brings release from malignant, teasing attacks by unknown forces. and every terror-filled night threatens that no relieving dawn will ever arrive. (Fiction) The Dollar Man. by Harry Mazur A fat, despairing teen-ager lives with his divorced mother and keeps his self-respect barely alive with extravagant fantasies about himself and his absent parent. Finally, after a series of dangerous and disillusioning experiences with his drug-oriented classmates, he embarks on an angry, uncertain, pitiful search for his father which comes to a joyous, fulfilled and triumphant conclusion. (Fiction) Song of the Shaggy Canary. by Phyllis Anderson Wood Beginning with the fragment of a novel left by Jane Austen at her death and continuing to develop the plot and characters according to the clues contributed by Miss Austen, a well-known writer (who prefers to remain anonymous) has expanded and-polished the unfinished manuscript into an elegant, romantic novel. The foibles, vanities and occasional gallantry of eighteenth century English society provide a felicitous background for the cleverness and charm of the eminently Austian heroine. (Fiction) Kidnapped. by Karl and Debbie Dortzbach The author of several novels for young people has this time written a classic love story â€" a sen- timental, totally satisfying tale about a weary young girl and a wary young man who meet at night school and find that they can build a future together. (Fiction) Sandition. by Jane Austen and ’Qinother Lady In May 1974 a pregnant missionary nurse was kidnapped by the Eritrean Liberation Front. Here is a factual account of her harrowing captivity and its inspiring aftermath.
