A new student review of The Well's End

nowhereman posted a new student review of The Well's End . See the full review.

From the very first page, I knew this book was good. The author puts you right into the story with how he describes Mia’s surroundings. Mia herself feels like an actual person with the style Fishman writes in. Fishman delivers a wonderful science fiction, thriller and mystery bundle. I would recommend this book to anyone that enjoyed The Hunger Games, Maze Runner, or Divergent. If you read any of these books, you will find similar science fiction/thriller qualities that will keep you on the edge of your seat.  This book is appropriate for young adults.

A new student review of My Chemical Mountain

ClarissaAdeleMorgenstern posted a new student review of My Chemical Mountain . See the full review.

I really liked this book.  I understood the characters, and I was shocked by their environment.  Jason, Charlie, and sometimes Cornpup just walked into many dangerous, toxic places, and they didn’t worry about the negative impacts on them at all.  I didn't think that most of the characters would be so oblivious to the obvious environmental and health detriments.  Jason talks about how the air sometimes smells or the water gives him blisters, which helps illustrate how dangerous living near a landfill can be for people.  Although short, this book had a well-developed plot, was suspenseful, and the ending was a surprise.  The powerful story was emotional, and it got me thinking about how large chemical companies can affect people.  Jason, Cornpup, and Charlie were all very brave in going up against an opponent as formidable as Mareno Chem.  I would definitely recommend this book to others.

A new student review of The Problem With Being Slightly Heroic

nkfranzone posted a new student review of The Problem With Being Slightly Heroic . See the full review.

This book is very good. I really liked the description and the rhythm of this book. It made it seem like a poem. One of the best things about the book was the description. It made everything seem real. My favorite character is the elephant named Mini. She is a very talented elephant. The other characters are super cool, and they are all a lot like me. The person who is most like me is Dini, because she wants everything to be “just so.” She is one of the main characters. One of my least favorite things about the book was that it changes perspectives so quickly, and you can sometimes get lost. All in all, this book is very good, though.

A new student review of Secrets and Spies: Treason

Anjel posted a new student review of Secrets and Spies: Treason . See the full review.

I really liked this book because the main character is a lot like me (in the agenda and personality part of her).  I had to reread the first two pages a couple of times because it was confusing at first, but after that I couldn’t put the book down. (I enjoyed it so much that I read it twice!) I got into trouble countless times for reading the book during school time, but I think it was worth it.

I recommend this book to kids eight and up, who enjoyed Luthiel’s Song, Dreams of the Ringed Veil, by Robert Marston Fanney, and the Princess Academy series by Shannon Hale. I recommended these books because the plot and actual book seem to be directed at the same age group. (The characters' personalities also seem very similar.) This Is the first book in a series.

A new student review of The Chronicles of Egg: Deadweather and Sunrise by Geoff Rodkey

nictaf posted a new student review of The Chronicles of Egg: Deadweather and Sunrise by Geoff Rodkey. See the full review.

I really liked this book and cannot wait to read book two.  This is an exciting, thrilling, excellent book, although the characters are farfetched.  Egg is my favorite character because he is the hero of the story.  The character I think I would most likely find in the real world would be Millicent, who is rich and spoiled.  I would recommend this book for ages 11 and up, because the pronunciations used at some parts in the book were kind of hard to understand, like "at for the word that, and wot for the word what." Also, it is a little violent at times.  Geoff Rodkey did an awesome job on this book, because I did not want to put the book down until the last page.

I found The Mirk and Midnight Hour to be at once compelling, thrilling, and satisfying. It was full of lush, vivid details and characters that you really like and feel for. There was very good character development, and I grew to understand the characters more as the book progressed. I thought it was a masterfully crafted plot and liked the author’s way of basing it on the ballad of Tam Lin. I will eagerly await any other tales by Jane Nickerson!

I thought the book was really good. It was very clean and had no swear words in it or any inappropate things. I liked the character in the book. He was a very kind and generous person. I really liked how the author wrote that the dolphins dragged him up to the shore. Overall, I really liked this book, and I hope it can become a bestseller!

In the exciting sequel to Alien Invasion and Other Inconveniences, Brian Yansky pits his heroes against power struggles, alien attacks, and wavering loyalties, all of which could be the deciding factor in the fight for the right to the Earth.  Homicidal Aliens and Other Disappointments is a fast paced page turner that keeps readers engaged and on the edge of their seats trying to decipher relationship issues, loving plot twists, and envisioning a permanently changed, alien inhabited Earth.  Middle school science fiction lovers will want to get their hands on Yansky’s well-written novel, Homicidal Aliens, and experience an invaded planet through Jesse’s eyes.

Although at a first glimpse, Landry Park may seem like an ordinary teenage novel, it most certainly possesses a particluar panache that captures and awes the reader.  It is unique in its own way and truly conveys the struggle between desire and duty, morality and selfishness.  Bethany Hagen has outdone herself with this intriguing novel that teaches the reader just as much as it entertains them.  A must-read and book that will not soon be forgotten.

Overall this wasn't a bad book. I really liked how the author introduced the characters and told their back stories.  I also liked the way she portrayed the narrator's mixed emotions about letting people go and trying not to hurt others.  Throughout the middle the plot is sort of repetitive, but overall the plot is exciting and has lots of unexpected turns.

I like the book because of the way it is written with the details in the pictures. I got this book thinking that it was a normal book but it was better.  It is like a graphic novel but with realistic pictures. I really enjoyed reading a true story this way. It is a very good book because of the way it is put together; you can read it several times and see new things in the pictures every time.

I liked that the story involves zombies.  It was hard to put down and was scary and intense all at the same time.  What I did not like is that my mom had to yell at me to put the book down!!! I am planning on reading it again.  The book was fun and easy to read.

If you like zombies, excitement and thrills then read this book!!!!!  Remember, do not underestimate the power of lemondade!

A new student review of Ride for Rights by Tara Chevrestt

moseso posted a new student review of Ride for Rights by Tara Chevrestt. See the full review.

Ride for Rights is a unique book. It is historical fiction. Tara Chevrestt is the author of this significantly attention gripping book. There are some faults, but not too many. For example, when Angeline gets a kiss the author does not need to explain every detail of it; it takes the surprise of the kiss away from the readers. However, some parts in Ride for Rights are exceedingly interesting. Since Tara Chevrestt’s accomplished book did such a superior job on making Angeline and Adelaide seem like real people, the book is thrillingly believable. Some language in it does make the book seem a little non-age appropriate, therefore, Ride for Rights should be read by eleven, twelve, and thirteen year olds. Otherwise, this fascinating book is very intriguing and recommended highly.

alikat7 posted a new student review of Pieces of Us by Margie Gelbwasser. See the full review.

“Pieces of Us” by Margie Gelbwasser is a mentally disturbing and iconic eye opening experience. A realistic story for the day and age we live in is finally being told. All the secrets we keep growing up are unleashed in dramatic ways you would never guess would occur. The different views by each character are fascinating, especially the view point of Kyle who sees things unlike the other teenagers in the book. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, but you have to have a strong stomach to finish it.

A new student review of Extracted (The Lost Imperials Book One) by Sherry Ficklin

fire_galaxy posted a new student review of Extracted (The Lost Imperials Book One) by Sherry Ficklin. See the full review.

This is one of those books that you can stay up all night reading and if you go to sleep, you will be dreaming about the book. The setting is pretty detailed, some things could be more detailed but you can still close your eyes and travel time with the Rifters at your side. It is definitely a little romantic since Lex goes throughout the time stream and The Tesla Institute just to find his girlfriend but don’t shy away just because it is a little romantic, there is plenty of action and in places, it is hilarious. The characters are very well described and most of them are likeable, but the one that most people will hate or dislike would be Tesla, well I think most people would. I like how it is told in first-person, I don’t think it would have been good if it was written any other way. I definitely want to know what happened after the book ended but I guess that’s why it is a series. The strength of this book is the plot, it is easy to understand and a good plot for anyone who likes sci-fi. It doesn’t really have a weakness but it could be a little more detailed. You might find yourself thinking “Is this possible” or “How do I sign up to be a Rifter?!” I would recommend it to all my friends who like fiction books, but hey, it could be possible in the future to time travel.

A new student review of Extracted (The Lost Imperials Book One) by Sherry Ficklin

cshattan posted a new student review of Extracted (The Lost Imperials Book One) by Sherry Ficklin. See the full review.

Sounds interesting, right?  And it was good, after about 200 pages.  Since it’s set in a complicated world, the authors took fifty pages to explain what is happening, where they are, and the background.  Then they introduced the problem.  The complaint I have with this book is that it’s just not interesting until the end.  As a LitPick critic/reviewer, I had to read and review this book, otherwise I would have abandoned it.  The beginning is very confusing, you have no idea what is going on, who people are, how time traveling works, etc.  I like the idea, they just need to pick up the pace.  Even the middle was slow! This is where I wxpwcted things to start to pick up the pace! 

By the end, I was interested.  The last 100 pages were packed with action.  I wanted to know how Amber was faring, and whether Lex had managed to save Stein or not.  If only the rest of the book was like that.  The beginning ruined it for me.

I really enjoyed this novel. This book constantly keeps readers on the edge of their seats, wondering what is going to happen next. The suspense leaves readers wondering who, if anyone can they trust in this novel. The author creates an interesting new concept of emopheridies and does a good job of explaining what they are, and how they work. I would suggest this book to anyone over the age of 12 that is is looking for a great book filled with suspense and romance.

A new student review of The Lord of Opium

alphatauri posted a new student review of The Lord of Opium . See the full review.

I found myself completely captivated when reading Nancy Farmer's The House of the Scorpion, and so as a result I found myself clamoring to get a copy of The Lord of Opium as soon as it was made available to me. However, though at this point it seems inevitable, The Lord of Opium fell short of my expectations. Compared to its predecessor, it didn't have enough plot to keep the story moving. There was a subplot involving a wacky romance which I did not find important to the development of the plot at all. In addition, the ending didn't seem decisive enough. One of The House of the Scorpion's greatest strengths was that in addition to great worldbuilding and plot, it was a coming-of-age story. That element is stripped from The Lord of Opium since Matt's growing up happened already. However, this book still has some strengths. I enjoyed how Farmer built even more of her world on top of what we already learned in Book One, and Matt's character became much more troubled in this volume. I found myself hooked to the book because of all the characters' lovableness. Overall, The Lord of Opium was a good, not great, read for any fans of The House of the Scorpion.

burkekat97 posted a new student review of The Darkworld . See the full review.

In this book I found more pros than cons. One major pro I found in this book would be how Cara Lynn Shultz described the characters and gave them attitudes that suited them perfectly. Another pro I found was the plot; the way it was set up was exciting and captivating. The whole time I did not want to put the book down. If I had to describe The Darkworld in three words I would use: enchanting, thrilling, and adventurous 

A new student review of Labeled by Mark Salvatore

zkraus posted a new student review of Labeled by Mark Salvatore. See the full review.

I really liked this book. It was darker than other young adult genre books I've read but, it had a raw look at reality. At first, I wasn't so sure about it, but then as I kept reading, I wasn't able to stop! I can relate to a certain degree with some of the things Vinnie was experiencing, so I felt that I could understand the character and his perspective. Also, it has a more positive ending which many books with storylines like this don't. It is a very real coming of age story that I really enjoyed and would reccomend to a lot of people. It's really a book about the choices we make and where they lead and the people we become because of them. I also really liked the viid images I got in my head because of how descriptive the author was in describing the places and emotions. It helped captivate me into the story and make it all more real.

The book Kissing Italian by Lauren Henderson was a very good book. There was a little bit of drama between the four friends.  Violet got pretty jealous of Luca hanging out with another girl, but that really made the book interesting. There was some romance, but not a lot.

A new student review of Salvation by Alyssa Cooper

Jigub posted a new student review of Salvation by Alyssa Cooper. See the full review.

As I first started reading this book, I was overwhelmed with the sadness of what had happened to Alec.  I do not know the feeling of losing a parent, but I do understand the emotion of loss and the author has vivid imagery expressing that emotion well.  That was one of my favorite things about this author; her writing has imagery that just paints deep feeling.  The author tends to have some grammatical issues here and there but overall I still loved the plot of the story.  It made me crave more and the fact that this book was divided into three parts added to my enjoyment.  With every new book,  there would be a different point of view and that allowed me to make more connections since I could have a better feel towards the character. This book has its flaws but it’s still a good story.

A new student review of Magefable by Heimdall Thunderhammer

jotaf posted a new student review of Magefable by Heimdall Thunderhammer. See the full review.

Magefable was a very exciting, adventurous book.  I really liked it.  It had lots and lots of twists that made it surprising.  I liked that the author made it funny while at the same time not something unbelievably unrealistic.  I also felt that the characters were relatable and very well developed.  My favorite character was Durbin.  I liked him because he was a brave young mouse who dreamed of going on an adventure and living up to the name of his father, Marcus the Brigand.  I also liked Clove, who knew that the one who made this quest before her was unsuccessful, and yet still is determined to try.  Something on the editor's part that I felt left something to be desired was that some of the grammar, spelling, and punctuation still should be corrected.  I would recommend this fantasy book to ages 10 through 14 because there are some big words, lots of fighting, and some killing.   I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.

A new student review of Don't Even Think About It by Sarah Mlynowski

R. Mae posted a new student review of Don't Even Think About It by Sarah Mlynowski. See the full review.

Don’t Even Think About It was as witty as its five word title.

 

Don’t Even Think About It was one of those books with a quicksand plot. Once I started reading, I could not stop. When the group begins to read each others' minds, problems begin to arise. And of course the question is, is being able to hear what anyone and everyone is thinking more on the pro or con side of things? So as I said, the story was like a spiders web and captured me. I opened the book and then did not stop reading for six hours (that includes lunch).

 

In Don’t Even Think About It, the narrator was not ‘I’, or ‘He/She’, it was ‘We’. Oh my gosh, you do not fully understand how unfairly difficult it is to write a novel from the point of view ‘We’. I do not know if this is really how Sarah Mlynowski (that is a crazy last name) felt, but it must have been a constant struggle not to write ‘I’. The transition between characters was fascinatingly smooth. I found myself completely unbiased. I equally loved and hated them all. Which all adds up to the fact that this book is incredibly original. There is no book like Don’t Even Think About It, and I truly doubt there ever will be. If there is, someone should please notify me.

 

The characters were the Gateway Arch of arched. They each faced difficult situations, and had to deal with them accordingly. No spoilers. Imagine the difficulty of high school romance paired with telepathy. I can not. But Sarah M. could. And their friendship was inspiring. It was real, with actual arguments and silent treatments. It was also the same with their love. Not only for boyfriends and girlfriends, but for family.

So, to finish up without scaring you, I obviously adored Don’t Even Think About It. I will probably read it fifty more times and then a couple more times just to make sure I know it by heart. If you have not read this book and you enjoyed any novel with a name I recommend you read Don’t Even Think About It. If I see you walking down the street and you still have not read it, I will feel dubiously obligated to shove it in your face and rattle on about the incredibility of writing a story from the point of view ‘We’. Read it. And how do you pronounce Mlynowski?

I really liked the book, Seven Stories Up by Laurel Snyder. It had everything it needed from the characters to the setting; this book just really came together. This book also taught me about the 1930's, like how there was not much medicine. This book made me realize how lucky we are to have what we have. You can vividly see the characters and their emotions by reading the text. That is why I give this passage four stars.

A new student review of Subway Love

AKFeldman posted a new student review of Subway Love . See the full review.

I think Subway Love is fresh and new. While I do not always love teenage romance, this book is a clever and fascinating take on two popular topics: teen romance and time-travel. 

I love the rich and well-developed characters. Without interesting back stories or cute, awkward dialogue, I may not have liked the story as much as I did. 

My only qualm about Subway Love is the format in the beginning. Before Jonas and Laura's storylines intersect, I think the cuts bewteen points of view are hasty and truncated. I would have liked to read a little more about one character before switching to another. 

Besides the formatting bit, I have no other problems with Subway Love. I would recommend it to young adults who enjoy magical realism and romance, and are looking for a quick read.

In Truth and Lies, I feel that the author has successfully included all the components of a mystery: murders, betrayals, setups, and twists. I can definitely compare this book and the Hardy Boys series. I was reading this book any chance I got in school or at home. This book was definitely a real cliffhanger. Truth and Lies has reminded me of how much I love and enjoy a mystery book.

I think this book is both mysterious and adventurous. I like how the story is told in third person, it would be not as good if it was told from Sirias. I think that this book could be better if it described the fires in more detail. It would be exciting if she could save someone from a fire. I recommend this book to people who like a bit of adventure and a bit of mystery. Overall, I loved it!

 

A new student review of The Break-Up Artist

dancechicka posted a new student review of The Break-Up Artist . See the full review.

This book was a certain novelty, to be sure.  Many authors come up with brilliant ideas and storylines, just like this one, but few are able to do their idea justice through masterful storytelling and prose.  Philip Siegel is one of the few.  The idea for The Break-Up Artist was a good one—and he nailed it. Siegel used just the right amount of humor, sentence structure, and quirkiness to make this book stand out from the rest.    I for one fell in love with Becca automatically.  I believe Becca’s experiences with relationships connect her with anyone that’s single, in a relationship, or had their heart broken.  Another one of the main things I loved about this book was the lack of empty drama.  In young adult literature, it seems when that unavoidable downfall comes, you meet with a least three chapters of angst-filled pages with the wails of “why me?” and “I’m never going to show my face again!”  Thankfully, Siegel kept the stagy woe-is-me to a mere two pages (seriously, I checked), and that was it.  Becca didn’t feel sorry for herself.  She picked herself up and kept going—without all the drama that goes with it.  And just when I thought I had this book all figured out and tied up in a bow—BAM!  A plot twist that changed the game.   Altogether, The Break-Up Artist was a lovely, joyous read that I would certainly recommend for your end-of-term booklist.

                “We all like to think that there’s one person out there who will rescue us from the tower…But that’s not how the real world works.”

          

I would recommend this book for ages nine and up.  There is some underage drinking, and, as every book that has a relationship in it, a little PDA, but other than that, you’re all good.

                Focused on pulling off the biggest breakup yet, will Becca be successful in her quest to shake up the relationship zombies of Ashland High School?  Read The Break-Up Artist by Philip Siegel to find out!

This is a very good descriptive sequel to the first book Sliding Beneath the Surface

In which Jeff and Carla visit Jeff’s great great great grandfather’s dream world. If you haven't read the first book I would recommend it. The second book will make much more sense if you read the first one. Sometimes this book can be a bit confusing but keep reading the author clears it up. The way Doug writes, he puts you in the characters’ shoes. When you’re confused they are confused. When they understand something you understand it too.

Poached was an extremely interesting book and very mysterious. It was also funny. One thing I did not like were the pranks. Some people might like them, but I think it teaches children to actually do the pranks on people, and that would get them into trouble like it did with Teddy. This book also teaches children to stand up to bullies if they were being bullied. I think this book would be a poor choice for children under ten.

Sometimes the storyline is hard to follow, but overall this is a wonderful, adventerous, tale that I reccomend to anyone who is interested in the sea and Fantasy. Probably most enjoyable for 10 to 12 year olds.

I really liked this book. It kept my attention from the first page to the last. It was very different from many other books that I have read int he past. 

I really enjoyed Elena. She was a brave girl that fought for what she wanted and didn't give up. I enjoyed being able to read how she handled everything that was thrown at her and how she managed to get back up and go on after each thing. 

One of the things that I did not like about this book was how quickly the book was finished. It got to the climax then was done very quickly. I wish there was more after the climax of the book.

yogi2224 posted a new student review of The Portal's Choice by KD Pryor. See the full review.

I think this book was one of the best books I've ever read, although it was kind of sad because people died, but that is a part of life. This book had an amazing conflict. How many books say you have to get a bunch of ghosts back through a portal? The Portal’s Choice had a very descriptive nature to it; it gave a lot of details that made it easier to picture the story in my head. The way the author wrote the book made me feel as if I was in the actual story.
