SheContinue reading “Flunked by Jen Calonita”

It took a bit to get into, but an overall great read. Claire’s sister, Sophie, has always been the brave one. When she had an unnameable illness. When they moved.

I really liked it! It had twists and turns that I never expected! 150 years ago, scientists brought the dinosaurs back to life. That’s right, dinosaurs.

She’sContinue reading “Edge Of Extinction: The Ark Plan by Laura Martin”

I loved it! Some of it was a bit hard to understand, but I got used to it. I found it while I was looking for books for fans of The Neptune Project by Polly Holyoke, and it’s truly amazing. Serafina wakes from a nightmare on the day of her arranged marriage. And when Serafina’sContinue reading “Deep Blue by Jennifer Donnelly”
