I really loved this book because of the action and the bond that Kya, Sebastian, and Eliza have together. I also loved it because of how much the three of them are a team throughout all of their journeys. This is a great book.

I loved  The Grimalkin’s Secret. I liked how adventurous the book is. I also liked that the end of the chapters left you in suspense. In addition I liked that the chapter names were in a made up language called Reesk. I did not like that both parts of the story were almost two different stories(although they were both very good stories.) I recommend this book to kids 8-15 years old.

A new student review of Echo

I enjoyed this book very much. I love each and everyone of the characters, they each have their own wonderful personalities that is just great. I hate Calli, the whole time she is mentioned.  I just wanted to jump in the story and slap her for being a terrible mother. How can a mom make her daughter feel useless and unloved? Makes her feel like her mother only wants to see her screw something up. When Echo does something great, her mother makes fun of her with something else. I believe the cause of Echo wanting to loose so much weight is because of her mother always saying she got so fat during Christmas that she believes Echo will never loose it. Now look at Calli; your daughter is starving herself because of you.  I truly believe that this is a good lesson for all girls and boys who think that they are not perfect cause of their weight. There are so many people who do this; stop eating and then pukes themselves to get rid of any food; it's sickening. Can't you see that you're beautiful just the way you are? We all change in life, we just need to accept that and enjoy our lives.

I think that this was a wonderful extension to the series. I always love reading these novels and have the hardest time putting them down. They keep drawing me in for more.

A new student review of Girls Like Us

Gail Giles presents to us an emotionally hard to chew novel.  Though heart-touching and full of personal troubles, I would not recommend this book to any weak-hearted or weak-minded individual.  Girls Like Us is a good book if you are looking for something to get your brain thinking.  Realistic hardships and true facts about the cruel world makes this book a good read if you are up to the challenge.

Short, but to the point, Zebra Forest quickly captivates your full focus with the plight of the Snow children. Emotionally touching and gripping; you will never forget this excellent tale of how long-kept family secrets can damage children. Impossible to put down! Any reader will love.

I really enjoyed this story, and found many people, (Angie espicially) very easy to relate to.  Angie has a nice sense of humor, and I really think she portrays other high schoolers very nicely. All in all, I enjoyed the book, and think many others would as well.

A new student review of The Dark Between by Sonia Gensler

The Dark Between started off slow but around page 70, things began to pick up. After the plot began to unfold, the book was difficult to put down. Nothing in the book seemed predictable, at least not too much, and each time I thought the book would take one turn, it took a different one and I was never able to pinpoint how the story would wrap up. The mysteriousness of the novel made it enjoyable and a fun read. 

A new student review of The Extra

I really enjoyed reading The Extra and found it very interesting because very little has been written about how the Gypsies were sent to concentration camps in World War II. The characters were likeable, and you were able to connect with their feelings (if not the situations) and sympathize with them. I first chose this book because it was written by Kathryn Lasky who has written lots of good books, including the best-selling The Guardians of Ga’Hoole series. I also found this new book of hers to be very well written and interesting. There were, however, some rather intense and sad parts; but these are to be expected when talking about the Holocaust. All in all, I thought this was a wonderful book full of bravery and loyalty.

I think this book was excellent. It had a mixture of magical, kind of realistic, and adventure. I like that at the begining of the book it showed two different alphabets, Resse and Symbari.
