After having recently finished the book, I think that it is one of the best books I have read. Its storyline is creative, its protagonist amusing, and other characters very well thought out, from the personality to the accents. Its beginning very well sets the mood for the rest of the story, which gradually develops into an action-packed story of loss and redemption. All in all, Steelheart is an amazing book, and if I had to rate it, 9.75/10. If you are thinking about getting this book, do. It will be well worth your time.

Personally, I think that Hammer Of Witches was very good. I enjoyed all of the cliffhangers, love, hope, adventure, and secrets. Although I do not think that Hammer Of Witches should be in the 8-12 year range. I think that it should more like in the 12+ year range. Because there is some dying, blood, and some talk about torture,very little, but some. So if you are not comfortable with that then I do not recommend Hammer Of Witches to you.

A new student review of Crash by Lisa McMann
RavenWing posted a new student review of Crash by Lisa McMann. See the full review.
I really enjoyed this book (I couldn’t out it down and finished it in a day). There were some parts that could have been better, but overall it was really good. This book is kind of a mystery. What I mean by this is that throughout the book Jules works to figure out the “mystery” of the crash. Because of this aspect, there are some scenes in the book where she’s missing something and you sit there thinking it’s completely obvious.
The Romance: From the beginning of the book, Jules is star struck. She keeps pining over the guy that won’t give her a sideways glance. At times, I thought this was annoying for I didn’t want to hear all about her fantasies about this guy. But at the end of the book, the relationship between these two is very well played out.
Other than the visions, this book is more like a mystery. Not that it’s not good, but it has different aspects. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes mystery or fantasy books. This book is written by the author of the Wake trilogy, a popular series which also very good. If you just want a nice short book for a quick read, this is an excellent choice.
A new student review of Outcasts United by Warren St. John

I enjoyed reading Outcasts United, despite my limited knowledge of soccer. While the game does play a prominent role in the book, the true story lies in each boy's journey. Each member of the Fugees has a unique, often heartbreaking tale of how they came to this country, and these stories are woven throughout the soccer game descriptions. Luma's active participation in the Clarkston community is inspirational, and the formation of her amazing charity is yet another angle explored in the book. I especially liked the touching part of the book in which the Fugees went trick-or-treating. It was interesting to see the cultural events that American-born children understand, through the eyes of refugee children experiencing them for the first time.I would recommend this book to soccer fans, pre-teens and teens interested in non-fiction human interest stories, and anyone looking for inspiration.

It's a great book that captures the attitude of the time period. I love the struggle and political strife of this time period and this book captured it perfectly. It uses history in support of a fictional yet realistic tale and does so effectively. I recommend this book to all because it is a great read.
A new student review of The Children of the King

I enjoyed this book and thought it was exciting. My favorite part is when Jeremy runs away because it is a little bit scary. I thought that Jeremy was brave and Cecily spoiled rotten. May was my favorite character because she was always kind and helpful. Cecily was always grouchy and wanted her way. I don’t think she would have been pleasant to be around. But at the end I noticed some change in her attitude and she became kinder.
