I’ve never been one for love stories; I’ve always loved fast-paced futuristic stories. However, this book was an exception. I was afraid that it was going to be a slow, boring book as soon as I started it. I quickly found out that I was wrong. I found myself thinking like Rose, the main character, so it was nice how I felt connected with her. I also loved how the story was based on Sleeping Beauty but wasn’t all gushy. The main reason I loved this book was the emotion that it brought with its story. I found myself tearing up at quite a few parts (which I usually never do when it comes to books). I suggest this book to everyone out there, no matter if you do or don’t like romantic stories. You won’t be disappointed!

A new student review of A Long, Long Sleep
A new student review of Super Zombie Juice Mega Bomb by MJ Ware
If you like Zombies, this book is for you! If you like creepy stories or stories with adventure, this book is for you. I recommend it for kids ages 10 and up. I loved it and couldn’t put it down. I even read it more than once.
I liked Nate, Misty and Kali. I felt like I was right there with them as they battled the Zombies and was rooting for them all the way. I didn’t want to see them get blown up with the town and I wish the story could have had a different ending for Kali. He was a really cool and smart kid.
SUPER ZOMBIE JUICE MEGA BOMB by M.J.A. Ware is a great story and as an extra bonus - besides giving us the answer to wiping zombies out of extinction – he gives the reader a 3 for 1: Super Zombie Juice Mega Bomb and two short stories. They are just as great a read as Super Zombie Juice Mega Bomb.
So what are you waiting for, so get the book and your Zombie survival guide now! Enjoy!
A new student review of A Long, Long Sleep
I thought this book was very interesting. It was completely different from anything I have ever read before. There was so much technology portrayed; some that we haven't even imagined yet. It was hard to understand what all of the information meant at first but once you got into it it was so cool. There is a romance it is sad and sweet and in the end it is beautiful. I loved this book

A new student review of Heron's Path by Alethea Eason
I really enjoyed this book. The blending of the worlds of the native people and the white girls was accomplished in such a manner as to make the worlds seem one, while still expressing the separation of the two. I also was drawn in by Celeste’s struggle with the wei-ni-la, the evil ones, and the Old Ones in the native myths. I did find it a little strange that she kept running off naked, but it only added to the intrigue of the story. Then blue feathers began to grow on her arm, which fascinated me, though I suppose some people might call it creepy. Overall, it was an excellent book, one I would recommend to anyone who likes history or is just interested in the legends of Native Americans.
A new student review of Glamorous Illusions: A Novel (Grand Tour Series) by Lisa T. Bergren
This is one of my favorite books and I cannot wait for the rest of the trilogy. The time period is absolutely stunning and Lisa Bergren has a talent for developing well thought-out characters and transporting the reader into the past. One of the best aspects of the book is that the romance, while still there and intriguing, develops slower than most books nowadays and makes you keep guessing. Also, the main pull of the book is Cora discovering herself, learning how to deal with her newfound fortune and family, and knowing that soon she'll have to choose which life she continues to live. By making Cora's story a trilogy, Bergren gives herself time to fully explore the characters and settings while allowing the reader to become fully enthralled with her story. I definately recommend this trilogy to anyone who enjoys historical fiction and books with something more than just a romance story.
A new student review of White Fur Flying
I liked the story because of the relationships between the children and their neighbor and how they managed to get the new rescued dogs and the little boy to begin to trust them. When the silent boy, Phillip, follows Jack, a rescued dog, the dog ends up keeping Phillip safe. I think I like Alice best because of her imagination. She always tells the truth but she often adds a bit more than the real truth.
A new student review of Penny's War by Anne Dearle
I think this was an okay book. It explained things well so you don't have to sit there and wonder what it means. It could have been more detailed in some parts, because some things were very to the point and short. I like how it talked about real things that happened in the war too, rather than being totally untrue. Otherwise it was a really good book.
A new student review of Fat Angie
I thought Fat Angie was a pretty good book. It was not the best book that I have read, but overall it was a good book.
A new student review of Anatomy of a Single Girl
I think this was a good book, but not approprite for my age.

A new student review of My Ex From Hell (The Blooming Goddess Trilogy Book One)
I thought that "My Ex from Hell" was very well written and was very interesting. I enjoyed how the story was more than just a love story. Its main backbone wasn't the romance, it was more about the mythology and the Greek gods. I also enjoyed how there was some romance sprinkled in the story along the way but it wasn't the main thing. I thought it was well written and ended in a good spot. It didn't drag on and on, but it wasn’t like there could have been more to make it better. Overall I enjoyed the book.
