A new student review of The Bodies We Wear by Jeyn Roberts

thudson36 posted a new student review of The Bodies We Wear by Jeyn Roberts. See the full review.

I thought The Bodies We Wear was an overall great book. The plot was well thought out and executed.  The world Faye lives in was explained in a way that was easy to understand, and you can’t help but be pulled in to it. Faye’s character greatly developed throughout the story and as you read, you see the way she learns and matures. I loved the relationship between Faye and Christian and didn’t think it was unrealistic, like some couples in novels. I also felt this novel nicely touched on subjects in today’s society, like drugs and substance abuse. I would not recommend this novel to anyone who dislikes dystopian or action novels. Overall, I thought this was a excellent novel and would recommend it to others.

A new student review of The Goddess Inheritance by Aimée Carter

When I first picked up this book I was afraid it was going to be another Percy Jackson series, but I was gladly mistaken, because this was an entirely new and refreshing take on mythology and the Gods and Goddesses that ring throughout Greek mythology.  Although it needed more character development, and the story dragged a bit, it was still a page turner that kept me up all night!  I would recommend this book for anyone looking for an easy and quick read to fill some time.

A new student review of Reborn by C. C. Hunter

It's a good book if you like the types of paranormal characters like vampires, shapeshifters, mediums, and other things. It has a bit of mystery in it, and some suspense and a little romance. I liked reading the book because it had the different types of the paranormal species, and I could learn more about them and the abilities they had.

A new student review of The Terminals

In his young adult thriller, The Terminals, Royce Buckingham has written an exciting smash hit. This is the first book in his new series.  I really thought that The Terminals was an amazingly written book.  It included a whole bunch of the things I enjoy in a book, like action and mystery, but in a more appealing way.  One of the unique parts that I really liked was when Cam’s friend, Mason, left Cam a secret message using the game Stratego.  The one thing I didn’t like about the book was that the ending was a little confusing. It was hard to know exactly who, if any, of his friends died at the end.  I would recommend this book to anyone over age 13 who likes books with action, mystery, and suspense.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid, The Long Haul is a great book. It was really funny and involved different events that don’t usually happen on a family road trip. Some more humorous events included getting locked outside of the car, a boat that wasn’t even used in the water, cinnamon rolls exploding and a whole lot more that will keep you reading.

A new student review of Paper Things

ALex1x1 posted a new student review of Paper Things . See the full review.

Paper Things was a very heart felt book. There was not much I didn't like about it. From the writing style to the story itself, it was enjoyable. The characters are built up to show how they have grown and others are able to empathize with some of the characters. But it's not just the characters, the story shows how struggling it is to be homeless and how they are treated by the people around them.

 

One thing I didn't like about it was how I couldn't identify with the school since I've never been to a school where one needed to have a leadership role.

 

I would defiantly recommend this story to others for how it gives insight to the hardships of being homeless.

A new student review of Lark Rising by Sandra Waugh

Anjel posted a new student review of Lark Rising by Sandra Waugh. See the full review.

I loved this book! It has definitely earned a place on my favorites shelf. As I read this book, it made me feel the characters and see through their eyes. One of my favorite parts is when Lark takes the orb and feels it shimmer and shine with radiance because her heart is pure. When Lark misinterprets that Gharian, her supporter, was to be with Evie, her cousin, I felt sad right along with her. I did not like all the pain and suffering. I can't wait to find out what happens next. The next book is about Evie and I hope it is as good as Lark Rising. I recommend this book to 13+ who enjoy fantasy, and especially for fans of Brandon Mull's "Fablehaven."

A new student review of It's NOT Just A Dog! by Pam Torres

This book was very interesting. It was a little slow getting to the point, but other than that I thought it was great. I liked it better when the adventure began. It was exciting and dangerous all at the same time.  Madison was both determined and courageous.  She decided to find her dog even though there was danger involved.  She was also caring.  When she got hurt, she only thought of her dog and getting her back.  I thought it was such a good book, that now I want to get the entire series.

I thought this book was very good. It was a very appropiate book for middle schoolers. I loved how it made you want to keep reading. Suspense was created very nicely by the author.  This book has very few inappropiate parts. I would reccomend this book to people in grades 7-9. I also loved how there was a lot of describing words and details in it.

My opinion the book Thrall is that this is a great story. It has all the perfect ingredients for a great story. It has action and romance.  The author included drama that also happens in some teenage girls lives, which gave it a hint of real life scenario. She had a great pair of friends to help her with her problems. Overall, this story had an great plot.
