I found The Mirk and Midnight Hour to be at once compelling, thrilling, and satisfying. It was full of lush, vivid details and characters that you really like and feel for. There was very good character development, and I grew to understand the characters more as the book progressed. I thought it was a masterfully crafted plot and liked the author’s way of basing it on the ballad of Tam Lin. I will eagerly await any other tales by Jane Nickerson!

I thought the book was really good. It was very clean and had no swear words in it or any inappropate things. I liked the character in the book. He was a very kind and generous person. I really liked how the author wrote that the dolphins dragged him up to the shore. Overall, I really liked this book, and I hope it can become a bestseller!

This book is amazing! During some parts of the book, I could hear my heart pounding inside my chest with excitement, fear, and awe! Along with the creeps and adventure, I found just a pinch of laugh-out-loud humor. I was hooked! Can't wait to read the next book!

A new student review of Landry Park

Although at a first glimpse, Landry Park may seem like an ordinary teenage novel, it most certainly possesses a particluar panache that captures and awes the reader.  It is unique in its own way and truly conveys the struggle between desire and duty, morality and selfishness.  Bethany Hagen has outdone herself with this intriguing novel that teaches the reader just as much as it entertains them.  A must-read and book that will not soon be forgotten.

A new student review of All Our Pretty Songs by Sarah McCarry

Overall this wasn't a bad book. I really liked how the author introduced the characters and told their back stories.  I also liked the way she portrayed the narrator's mixed emotions about letting people go and trying not to hurt others.  Throughout the middle the plot is sort of repetitive, but overall the plot is exciting and has lots of unexpected turns.

I like the book because of the way it is written with the details in the pictures. I got this book thinking that it was a normal book but it was better.  It is like a graphic novel but with realistic pictures. I really enjoyed reading a true story this way. It is a very good book because of the way it is put together; you can read it several times and see new things in the pictures every time.

I liked that the story involves zombies.  It was hard to put down and was scary and intense all at the same time.  What I did not like is that my mom had to yell at me to put the book down!!! I am planning on reading it again.  The book was fun and easy to read.

If you like zombies, excitement and thrills then read this book!!!!!  Remember, do not underestimate the power of lemondade!

A new student review of Ride for Rights by Tara Chevrestt

moseso posted a new student review of Ride for Rights by Tara Chevrestt. See the full review.

Ride for Rights is a unique book. It is historical fiction. Tara Chevrestt is the author of this significantly attention gripping book. There are some faults, but not too many. For example, when Angeline gets a kiss the author does not need to explain every detail of it; it takes the surprise of the kiss away from the readers. However, some parts in Ride for Rights are exceedingly interesting. Since Tara Chevrestt’s accomplished book did such a superior job on making Angeline and Adelaide seem like real people, the book is thrillingly believable. Some language in it does make the book seem a little non-age appropriate, therefore, Ride for Rights should be read by eleven, twelve, and thirteen year olds. Otherwise, this fascinating book is very intriguing and recommended highly.   

A new student review of Pieces of Us by Margie Gelbwasser

“Pieces of Us” by Margie Gelbwasser is a mentally disturbing and iconic eye opening experience. A realistic story for the day and age we live in is finally being told. All the secrets we keep growing up are unleashed in dramatic ways you would never guess would occur. The different views by each character are fascinating, especially the view point of Kyle who sees things unlike the other teenagers in the book. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, but you have to have a strong stomach to finish it.
