One day, while they’re on vacation, Jenni uses an old elevator.Continue reading “A Year Without Autumn by Liz Kessler”

I think I have a new favorite book. June loves reading, and she’s read some creepy books, but to her, that’s okay. But her parents are super strict. They say she can’t read anymore. The confiscate all her books so they can read through them. Then, they get the school librarian in trouble. When June’sContinue reading “Property of the Rebel Librarian by Allison Varnes”

This is a super great book. I really like it! Cinder is a cyborg, and where she’s from, that’s not a good thing. She’s also a mechanic. Her stepmother and older stepsister are horrible to her. A plague is ravishing her world, and somehow her younger stepsister has caught it. Cinder’s stepmother blames her forContinue reading “Cinder by Marissa Meyer”

This was awesome! Though it was a little hard to find. It’s the same author as Pegasus. Freya doesn’t want to be a Valkyrie. She doesn’t want to reap souls. She thinks humans are monstrous brutes who enjoy violence (sometimes they are). But then the first warrior she reaps asks her to help his family.Continue reading “Valkyrie by Kate O’Hearn”

Edie is very goth, and Alberta is anything but goth, so they have differing personalities, butContinue reading “The Only Black Girls in Town by Brandy Colbert”

The Ritual of Purity is where all girls of sixteen are tested, to see if they are pure. IfContinue reading “The Gilded Ones by Namina Forna”

This is one of those books that you can’t put down. It’s awesome. Thomas wakes up in the Glade, the area at the center of a giant labyrinth. He has no memories whatsoever, and he’s surrounded by boys who also don’t remember anything. These other kids have been trying to escape the Maze for twoContinue reading “The Maze Runner by James Dashner”

On December 30th, there was a fire in Boulder, Colorado called the Marshall fire. I used to live there, and even though I don’t live there anymore, I do have friends there. Over 780 students in the Boulder Valley School District lost their homes, and their book collections, so Boulder Bookstore is excepting donations. TheirContinue reading “Donate to Boulder Bookstore”

I was reluctant to read this, but it’s actually really good! Seth and Kendra don’t want to spend over two weeks with their grandpa, but they don’t have a choice. Kendra finds a mysterious message: Drink the milk. She wonders if maybe it could be the milk that the groundskeeper puts out for the butterflies.Continue reading “Fablehaven by Brandon Mull”
