Erica, Editor reviewed Letters to Nowhere.I fell in love with Karen and Jordan's story. A beautiful story of hope, growth, and relationships. I love Julie's sci-fi Tempest series, but this one is even better. I love Julie Cross's progression as an author - she gets better with every book and it is just a treat to see what will come next from this fantastic author. Gymnastics books are always a treat to read - I have always been...

Dragana @ Bookworm Dreams voted as helpful a review, One of the Best Books I've Ever Read, written by Erica, Editor.
- It is no secret that I am not a fan of dystopians. Yet, Joelle Charbonneau manages to do something with The Testing I have been waiting to have happen: written a dystopian I loved and adored and am STILL thinking about months later. Joelle Charbonneau has crafted a futuristic world that will just captivate you. I love the contrast between The Testing and Joelle Charbonneau's other books. Her others are wacky mysteries, and with...

- Since Suzanne Young first announced her sale of The Program I have been waiting for this book. The premise sounded amazing and I just loved Suzanne Young's debut, The Naughty List. While The Program ended up taking a different path from the one I had predicted, it was amazing in every way and I already am eagerly anticipating the sequel! I loved that while The Program is a dystopian, it is very much...

Erica, Editor reviewed First Comes Love.
- First Comes Love by Katie Kacvinsky is an adorable story about falling in love. Two drastically different characters who have such different life experiences fall in love in such an obscure way and I just really enjoyed it. Dylan is such a great character - she is spunky, wise, and not afraid to try new things. She is independent, though in some ways she is so independent it is almost to a fault....

Erica, Editor reviewed Nobody's Secret.I love Michaela MacColl's books - they are refreshing, well written, and always an intriguing look at history. Additionally, Michaela MacColl picks people in history who aren't commonly featuring in historical fiction, which is always absolutely delightful to read about. And Nobody's Secret is her best yet - a historical murder mystery? How much cooler can you get? I loved Michaela MacColl's portayal of Emily Dickinson. She is almost a Nancy Drew-type figure...

- Stranded by Jeff Probst was an interesting read. The premise was interesting but how the story carried out was not enough to fully capture my attention and make me fall in love with this survival novel. While Jeff Probst is trying to portray the stakes as high, that is not the way Stranded came across. I was looking for a fast paced, high energy survival story and instead what I got was a very...

Erica, Editor reviewed The Planet Theives.
- The Planet Thieves is a strong middle grade debut from author Dan Krokos. With it's intriguing premise and unique way it entwines a typical school story with that of saving the world, The Planet Thieves was a treat. I really enjoyed the characters, particularly the female characters. Both Merrin and Susan were both just really well rounded characters and I loved how loyal they were to their cause. The rivalry between Tom and...

- Gosh, Elizabeth Eulberg never fails to impress me with her writing. Revenge of the Girl with the Great Personality is not only a well written book, but is also a story that is so important to tell. While not everyone can relate to the world of pageants, the emotions and situations that Lexi finds herself in can be transferred to the every day world. I can't remember that last book that evoked such strong...

- The Life of Ty: Penguin Problems is an absolutely delightful read! It was so darn cute. Ty is a character who readers will be sure to relate with, and he has just a wonderful voice. I loved the illustrations - they were the perfect compliment to the story. Ty is dealing with growing up and becoming more independent, all while getting used to sharing his mom with his new baby sister. Plus,...

Erica, Editor reviewed Hammer of Witches.With Hammer of Witches, Shana Mlawski has spun a gorgeous historical fantasy that will be sure to captivate readers. By the end of the first chapter, I was completely hooked and continued on to read straight through the book. Hammer of Witches takes my two favorite genres - historical fiction and fantasy - and blends them together, which is even more awesome in my book. It was the perfect vehicle for the story...
