Librarians have their own special language that can at times confuse the people they are helping. Even when our lingo is used correctly, it can sometimes turn ugly. Or in this case, funny. Here's a review I received this morning from one of my students:

I have read all of this year's Caudill nominees. I cannot tell which one I enjoyed the most, but I really liked Stormbreaker because it was a great hooker. I am in the eighth grade and really critical of books, and the author of this book did a great job!!!

I too love it when books are great hookers. I'm going to burn in hell for finding this funny.
