A new student review of 2108: Eyes Open (eBook) by K.L. Glanville

Raphael posted a new student review of 2108: Eyes Open (eBook) by K.L. Glanville. See the full review.

After reading the first few pages of this book, I expected it to be a science fiction dystopian society book, such as 1984 or Fahrenheit 451. Instead, I was surprised with a futuristic alien version of Romeo and Juliet, where Jewel and Forge are kept apart by their species/governments. I thought this book had a good basic plot line, with many random twists, but overall this book was not what I expected. The ending as well felt quite sudden and did not seem to solve most of the problems, probably leaving room for a sequel. Overall this book would probably be enjoyed by any tween girl who would like a new spin on an old idea, however, this will not be one of my favorite books.

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 A Force of Will A Shakespearean Fantasy Adventure by D.J. Wallace

Chris Purple posted a new student review of A Force of Will A Shakespearean Fantasy Adventure by D.J. Wallace. See the full review.

Wouldn't it be cool to get magical powers that make you stronger, faster, and wiser? "A Force of Will a Shakespearean Adventure" is a mystical, treacherous, and adventurous book. It was hard to stop reading! Some parts were hard to follow. When conversations started, they continued for a while. There is still lots of action, but the conversations tell you more. It was still fascinating!  If anyone is into swords and pirates, magic and monsters, this is for you!

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.

A new student review of Storm - The Elemental Series by Brigid Kemmerer

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!
