Midnight City is an amazing book. In the beginning, you don't really know how Earth was captured, but you know enough to be able to read and enjoy the book and learn more as the book goes on. The author reveals the right amount of information throughout the book, otherwise there would be a whole history section that wasn't needed. The book is fast-paced and never boring. Once I started reading the book, I couldn't put it down. The characters were original and intriguing because each had their own mysteries and backgrounds that you had to read to find out about. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes action/sci-fi books with a little romance thrown in. Reviewer Age:17 Reviewer City, State and Country: Brownsburg, Indiana United States of America

A new student review of Midnight City by J. Barton Mitchell
A new student review of Deadly Intentions by Lisa Kuehne
This. Book. Was. Absolutely. Brilliant. There is no other way to describe it. It had everything action, romance, intrigue, drama all perfectly mixed together better than your Grandma's cookie batter. There was enough romance to keep me sighing, but it never got to sappy or obsessive. The story progressed beautifully, always keeping me on edge. Besides sometimes being dark and terrifying, Ava had a humorous sarcastic wit, along with an independent spirit. Seriously, this little lady could win the Miss Firecracker Award. Easily. I recommend you read the first book, True Intentions, beforehand, as it will catch you up on what happened before the chaos. I loved how this book had such a wide range of characters. I could at least connect to one of them. The ideas of heaven and the underworld this book portrays are interesting, too,the afterlife, the relationship between angels and demons, the ways mortals are smashed right in between. I also like how the story is told through Ava's point of view it helped me understand the method behind the madness. The vocabulary was fresh and definitely drew you into Ava's plight. After the dynamic ending, I am extremely anxious to read the final book in the series, needless to say. If you love almost having a heart attack from all the suspense in your books, this novel is for you! I keep bouncing up and down in the back of the cargo van but now Stephen and Susan are taking me to face Satan. Since they killed Rick, I suppose they'll have to find another human to end my life and make me one of his immortal followers. I would recommend this book for ages thirteen and up, or for mature readers. The novel did have some mild expletives in it, and casual sexual references. Even though it does talk about God, it is not a faith based book. Will Ava and Sam's relationship survive through all trials and tribulations? Will they be able to save Aiden's soul in time, or will evil rule? Read Lisa Kuehne's new novel to find out! Reviewer Age:12 Reviewer City, State and Country: Leopold, Missouri U.S.A.

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!
A new student review of 100 Cupboards by 99 Unknown Email
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 2108: Eyes Open (eBook) by K.L. Glanville
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 Kaleidoscope Me by Hillary K. Grigonis
When I first saw what the book was about, I was slightly doubtful that I would like it. I’m more into the post-apocalyptic genre and wasn’t expecting to like Kaleidoscope Me. I’m glad I was wrong. I’ve noticed that in some books the author frequently strays from the pain the main character should be feeling when someone they love dies, but this never happened in Kaleidoscope Me. Jadyn’s pain was real and frequent as someone’s real pain would be. The beginning of the book caught my attention right away and made me very curious to see what would happen next. One of the things that I really liked was that things did not go in a straight order. Throughout the book you experienced what Jadyn’s thought process was like, how she could be thinking about one thing but then that one thought leads back to a memory in the past. I felt connected to Jadyn throughout the book, as if I were right beside her. I even got exasperated at her Aunt Nadine from time to time! Overall, this is a great book for preteens and teens and is beautifully written.
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.
