A new student review of Sword of Damocles by Brian Bern

I really liked the book. It was interesting at the beginning but the real action didn't start until after the first few chapters. I think that It is a good book. There are still mysteries left at the end which make you expect a sequel. Overall I liked the book, but it was not particularly amazing in any way. There were parts that I liked and even though I still had questions at the end, there was enough information to keep me satisfied. I would reccomend this book to younger children, because it lacks real action and crisis situations that older-age group books might have.

A new student review of Rituals

ViviB posted a new student review of Rituals . See the full review.

I liked the mystery and intrigue of this book and the way it combined with the other subtle element of magic. I thought that it could have used more character development, but it is the eighth book in a series, so the author probably expects at least a basic knowledge of the characters at this point. Though I would have appreciated more development, the book can be read as a stand-alone.

 

Faye was a great main character to follow. Her scientific mind catalogued and puzzled, and it was interesting piecing everything together with her. The surrounding characters were amazing as well, and the many different point of views, rather than distracting from the story, added to the suspense.

 

The author closed the mystery well, and I liked the subtle hints dropped throughout the book hinting to the culprit. I found the book hard to get into at the start, but it began picking up near the middle, and I was hooked.

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.

I would say that this book is the best book I have read in months. I would recommend that any kid that is mature, or the age 11 and up should read this book. It was hilarious and often made me crack up. There was romance; there were scary spots; there were things that I did not expect. Humor, romance, suspense, and a ton more came with this book. I give it 5 stars!

A new student review of Disneylanders by Kate Abbott

Disneylanders by Bob Mclain and Kate Abbott was an overall good book. Casey, the main character, was very relatable and in no way portrayed as “perfect.” Through this adventure, you’ll laugh and swoon over the romantic moments between Casey and Bert. I think this book would be even better for someone who loves Disneyland, because the author obviously knows a lot about it and incorporates all of its wonders in this book. There were a couple places where the plot moved slowly, and a couple parts seemed unrealistic, but overall it was a great book that I’d defiantly recommend to anyone that’s looking for a light, fun read.

A new student review of Trading Faces by Ann Herrick

This was a great book. It switched perpectives a lot; that was one thing I really liked. This showed how each individual charcter felt. I also liked that two girls who were nothing alike were able to work together to fix a problem they had. Along the way they learned how to help others.This was such a good book because of the way it related to me with everyone trying to fit in and have fun. I believe many people would relate to this and would enjoy this book very much.

A new student review of Homicidal Aliens and Other Disappointments

NathanPechacek10 posted a new student review of Homicidal Aliens and Other Disappointments . See the full review.

In my opinion, this was a good book for kids ages 11-15.  It was a little difficult to get into, but once you do, you can't put it down.  I liked how it was semi-humorous, and it had a strong ending.  I dislike books that leave the reader hanging.  Keep in mind that there is some adult language used as well as a tremendous amount of deaths.  This book was okay, but definitely not one of my favorites.  I would read the first book, Alien Invasion and Other Inconveniences before reading this one.
