Rating: Reread it Twice

I enjoyed Two Lies and A Spy, but I had a few problems with certain parts of the book. I desired additional information on the Agency. I knew practically nothing about the Agency. The only things I knew were the leader and two spies in the organization. I needed more background such as who found it and why. I also thought there could have been smoother transitions in the earlier scenes. I just didn't quite get some of the beginning because of that. Most of it was explained in the middle, so all was resolved. Kat only mentioned Kale in a small portion of the beginning, so I didn't think he was a main character until he popped in in the middle. The story line and the characters were intriguing, but I just didn't love it as much as I thought I would. I liked it though and would be open to a sequel option that seems to be left open at the end.

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.

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

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!
