 * __Genre__**: YA Fiction
 * __Summary__:** This book is about a boy named Sam and his friends from work, Ramon, Frank, and Brooke, all in their late teens. While working in a fast food restaurant, a game of potato hockey begins his journey to discover that he is a necromancer. He struggles with accepting his "gift" and preventing others from taking his ability, especially another local necromancer named Douglas.

__**Why I liked it...**__ I chose this book because of its interesting title. I had no idea what a necromancer is. I really enjoyed the magical aspect of it, and being a Twilight lover, this was right up my alley with its werewolf characters. Readers who like Twilight will definitely enjoy this!


 * __Curriculum Connection__:** **ELA 9/10 Reading Standard 3** - ** CCR: Analyze how and why individuals, events, and ideas develop and interact over the course of a text. **


 * __Promotional Activity//://__** This book is slightly dark in nature, so I would choose to promote it during Halloween. I would do spooky but simple book trailer as an invitation and do a spooky candlelit book club once a week during the month of October.
