A new student review of 100 Cupboards by 99 Unknown Email

leonardo posted a new student review of 100 Cupboards by 99 Unknown Email. See the full review.

100 Cupboards is N.D. Wilson's first installment in his new fantasy trilogy. He brings to life many new and different characters and this added to my enjoyment of his book. When you read as much as I do you can see similarities in characters from completely different books. I appreciated the uniqueness of Wilsons characters and enjoyed their adventures. One thing that stood out and was impressive was how I was able to connect, and sometimes even feel like, I was participating in this story.

A new student review of Glow (Sky Chasers) by Amy Kathleen Ryan

While the idea was brilliant, the writing wonderful, and the plot ingenious, the characters annoyed me to no end. One second you liked a character and the next you hated them. It was hard to follow because it was written in three different peoples point of view, who all at least at some point hated one of the other characters. It infuriated me and caused my emotions to go all bipolar. While the characters were lacking the rest of the book was not. It keep me on my toes the whole time, with almost no predictability. The images were stunning and realistic, and the whole story well developed and very authentic. I read in a day because I could not put it down. It was enjoyable and I cannot wait until the next book comes out.

A new student review of Singled Out by Sara Griffiths

Singled Out by Sara Griffiths is fantastic book that teaches one to never give up, and to fight for what one believes in. It is also the second installment in a series about Taylor Dresden and her dream to play baseball. This story is very realistic in the fact that its main character is a girl who is told she can't do something because she is not a guy. Many girls today are told they cannot do things because they do not have the abilities guys do. This story is a very motivational one, and I suggest it to both guys and girls who believe anything is possible if you try hard enough.

A new student review of The Game of Pirate by Ed Wicke

The Game of Pirate was one of those books that was hard to put down.  I found myself wanting to read “just one more chapter” each night.  The hero, Jack, is a character that I could relate to.  He wants to have adventure but isn’t quite prepared for all of the danger that comes with it.  I would recommend this book to anyone who loves adventure.  The beginning and the middle of the book contained loads of great stories, but the ending was too short.  It also ended in a cliffhanger, which I bet the author, Ed Wicke is going to turn into the beginning of a sequel to this book.  If he does, I will be sure to read it!  

 

A new student review of Lost Covenant by Ari Marmell

Everybody should experience the energy I felt as I went on this amazing adventure of suspensful mysteries! This book is a lot about trust and friendship, which I liked. This book's slow start is much different than the exhilarating ending. I was wanting to review another book by the 10th page, but then it gained my interest. It sort of went up and down. It would get interesting, and then it would be low key, interest, no interest, etc. The only negative content in  this book was the language. It was recommended for 12 and up, and this book was clearly meant for older. Other than that, I think people should read it to find out the same crazy ending I experienced.

A new student review of If You Find Me by Emily Murdoch

masha posted a new student review of If You Find Me by Emily Murdoch. See the full review.

I think that the plot was easy to follow, but I would not recommend this book. It has content that is not appropriate.The speech used between the characters is vulgar and they don't respect each other at all. I think that  the author had some good ideas for this book and overall it had a plot with a satisfying ending. I liked how everything was summed up well and a lot of questions were answered. The author waits until the last page to put the final pieces of the puzzle together. 

A new student review of Mickey Price: Journey to Oblivion

nictaf posted a new student review of Mickey Price: Journey to Oblivion . See the full review.

I loved this book and I hope that John P. Stanley will make this into a series.  It was exciting, thrilling, fast-paced and extremely fun.  Mickey Price, the main character, is brave and willing to take risks for others.  Another of the characters is Jonah Jones.  Jonah is basically a know-it-all, extremely smart, and likes to read.  I really liked all the characters.  I would recommend this for ages 8 and up, just because of the long words.  This adventure is for all ages. The author did an awesome job on this book.  I think everyone who reads this will enjoy it.

A new student review of Horse Diaries #10: Darcy

blackbeauty posted a new student review of Horse Diaries #10: Darcy . See the full review.

I have never read one of the Horse Diaries but this book was incredible and I bet the other books are incredible too.  I thought this book was very interesting because it had sad parts, happy parts and exciting parts.  It makes a book a lot more interesting when it has lots of different parts in the book instead of just one of those parts. I think people who love horses will love the Horse Diaries series.
