Boy Toy
    Another great one from Barry Lyga
    a review by Kimberly Pauley

July 03, 2009 -

I really enjoyed Lyga's Fan Boy and Goth Girl, though I'm torn now as to which book I liked better now. Boy Toy is the story of Josh. He's around eighteen now, but five years ago, when he was twelve going on thirteen, his history teacher engaged in an improper relationship with ... [read more]

Fire
    The Power of the Mind
    a review by Ed Goldberg

July 03, 2009 -

Billed as the prequel to Kristin Cashore’s wonderful fantasy, Graceling, Fire is a prequel only in the most remote sense.  In an off-the-cuff manner, it introduces the... [read more]

Wicked Lovely
    Wicked Not So Lovely?
    a review by Kristen

July 03, 2009 - Well, i read Wicked Lovely after hearing from a friend that it was a good book.  I was however deeply dissapointed in it.  It was terribly unoriginal with a witch that a girl who turned into somthing she's not used to had to defeat.  The plot was quite inapropriate as well.  ...

A Series of Unfortunate Events: The Vile Village
    The Vile Series of Villages
    a review by Kristen

July 03, 2009 - Another book. The same setting.  The same plot. The same finish.  Honestly why must all these books be the same?  The children are moved to another village. They find out Olaf is in discise, the caretaker dosn't belive them; niether does Mr. Poe.  The children proove their point,... [read more]

The 39 Clues: Beyond the Grave (Book 4)
    Mummy, Action, Hunt
    a review by Ben

July 02, 2009 - This book was great. But if you want to read it you should read the first 3 books before reading it. They are, Maze of Bones (1), One False Note (2), and The Sword Theif (3). Great series. 10 books in all but only 4 out so far. All 10 should be out by 2010. Also, the book is ... [read more]
