This is one of those books that I just stumbled upon at my local library. Schreiber is an author that I have been meaning to read, but with my TBR pile at least a mile long, her books have a bad...
i guess i am a little old to read this book as i am 14. however i finished it in one day! i couldnt put it down! it was so sweet and romantic! although it lacked depth the depths of the main...
in the middle of the night,this book made me cry.there's a mermaid called Lily and a human(or earthee,as mermaids in this book call them)named Spencer.Lily...
There's something about the new guy at Crossroads High...
Aden Stone is a sixteen-year-old who has been in and out of institutions all his life. Why? You ask. Well, Aden has four human souls living inside of him. One can time-travel; one can raise the...
Most definitely one of the best books I've read in a long time. Perhaps *best* isn't quite the right word... I've read several wonderful books this year. But, for me, this is definitely one of my...
Anyone who longs for more adventures in the time period and vein of Robert Louis Stevenson and Jules Verne will love this book. It truly is a throw back to these authors, not only in the time...
A young adult fantasy...unbelievable escapes ruin a good story
A somewhat disappointing book!
I purchased this book because the cover stated that it was the winner of a major literary award; in addition to that, were the multiple glowing reviews on...
the Illustrations are exquisite, the selection of stories less so.
Michael Hague is one heck of an illustrator! The vividly coloured, imaginative, detailed drawings put me in mind of some of the classic illustrators such as Arthur Rackham. My girl picked this up...
This book is only some dragon stories selected from different books and myths( like The Hobbit and The Voyge of the Dawn Treader),but is still a pretty well done book, you will probably enjoy it if...
With the help of an odd-looking blue stone, a lonely, poor farm boy is thrown into a world of chaos and mystical mayhem. Filled with ancient stories and myths, plus the obligation as the only one...
I, for one, was incredibly disappointed with this book. Let me start by saying that I love Fantasy novels, while I'm no nerd, they're fun to read. And not to mention the fact that this book was...
Paolini has a fabulous story in the Inheritance series, and Eragon is largely devoted to setting up questions that are to follow the reader through the later books. While Eragon does drag in a few...
Marlfox is an exciting action packed book by Brian Jacques. It is the 11th book in the fantasy Redwall series. What is interesting about this series is that most of the books are stand alones.
I think Marlfox could've been MUCH better. It seems that very few of the Redwall books are as good as the original and I think Marlfox is a good example.The Marlfoxes are ruthless and cruel...
Mattimeo is super THRLLING with an AWESOME adventure!!! Mattimeo is the son of Redwall's champion until a dirty, no good fox kidnaps the little folk of The Redwall Abbey. They sent a search...
Not As Good As The First and Second But Still Good.
It is still good to read but don't expect it to be as good as the first two. A good read for readers between ages 9-12. So go buy it today and read it.
I have read many, many, great books. Mossflower would totally be at the top of the list! I started reading it, and I just couldn't put it down! The plot and characters draaw you in, until you fell...
This was our family's first foray into the Redwall series, and frankly I'm a bit disturbed by all the reviews saying Mossflower is the best of the lot. If so, then we've a lot ahead of us to...
This is a great book. It gives you a look at how gang life really is, and how hard it is to escape the life. I really enjoyed reading it, but i didn't like the ending, you'll see why when or if you...
Even for a young adult/teen book, I felt a little cheated when I had finished with Party Girl. There was a certainl flare about the story that was missing. Like a bike missing a wheel almost....

The stories in this compilation are very juvenile. I would not suggest this book for anyone over the age of 15, and yet some of the subject material and swearing would not be suitable for children,...
I think that introducing young people to science fiction and fantasy is something the genres are neglecting. Unfortunately the selection of stories is poor. It is also heavily slanted, very...

i started reading this book with higth expectations, only to be let down. the book drags on and on, and all these characters wich have practicaly nothing to do with the story keep get added to the...
While it is a light enough read that I could finish it w/ ease, EARTH HIVE is, too me, a well-executed series of mistakes. Firstly, in my understanding, the reason "Billie" and "Wilks" have such...
I loved this book. Like many other reviewers have said, it has a slow pace. However the slow pace suits the story. It's one that you don't want over quick and you can't get enough of. I've read the...
Too bad this book is a bland version of just about every other fantasy novel, from Lord of the Rings to the Shannara series. Sigh. What makes the book frustrating is that the characterizations are...
I love Fantasy Books, especially ones that are similiar to LOTR. I saw the great reviews on this website and read some things on this book and I thought it would be a perfect fit. It wasn't! This...
It is a good book to read,kids will love the action packed adventures of...Rakkety Tam McBurl!!!!The artwork intriged me alot. The story was fun to read and it never got boring or too repetitive. I...
Before I would like to begin I would like to clarify one thing: When I first picked up Rakkety Tam, I had desperately, feverntly hoped that Jaques could re-deem himself after the disaster that he...
This book was in the children's section of my library, not YA, children's. Sure it's small and short with big print and plenty of space between the lines, but it packs a big punch. This book isn't...
"The Sun Rides on his Shoulder but he Brings the Storm!"
"Reunion" is the second book in the "Water" trilogy, beginning with "Ascension" and ending in "Transformation". In the previous book, the sixteen year old mermyd Niniane (called "Nia" for short),...

This book is a wonderful book but I suggest that if you wish to read the 'Circle Opens' quartet you first read 'The circle of magic' so that you have more background knowledge on these lovable...
Now, I am a huge fan of Tamora Pierce. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE her books. You're wondering about the low rating and confilicting title? Tamora Pierce STOLE this plot, (not word for word, but...
Shatterglass is the fourth and final book in The Circle Opens quartet written by Tamora Pierce. Like all the other books in this series, it focuses on young mage (Tris) who discovers an ambient...
This story is set many generations in the future. The world described is in some ways like our own, but in many ways different. Jonas, the hero of the story, lives in a commune where life seems...
This is not a good or appropriate book for any young person
This book, if it had been required reading for me during my literature classes in school, would not have even been considered for a young person to read. This book, would have been thrown out,...
The reviews of The Giver are absolutely hilarious. People, this is a book marketed to young adults; don't let it kick you around. The author, Lois Lowry, expects the reader to make inferences at...
I would definitely call "The Book of a Thousand Days" a surprise. I greatly admire Shannon Hale's other works, so I was eager to read this one. But the instant I opened it and saw the diary...
A clever read even that will entertain even Mom and Dad!
I fell in love with Eoin Colfer's Artemis Fowl series a few years ago. Having always been a science fiction and fantasy reader, this series caught my eye during one of those periods life deals us...
I first saw this on a shelf a couple years back and was intrigued by it but hadn't picked it up to read it until my 8 year old insisted that it was an awesome story and that I'd love it. So, with...

Francesca Lia Block writes strange but intoxicating tales; stories that are surreal and yet oddly comforting. To classify her books are nearly impossible. The format is that of fairytales, in which...
Fond memories, but a critical grown-up eye ruins the shimmering glow
When I first started reading Block's books over ten years ago, I easily fell under her spell. I was in her perfect demographic: a teenage girl who was awkward and insecure, but who felt that she...
The characters and the story are shallow, totally lacking in depth. The writer seems to free associate and wanders from page to page. It was like reading a comic book plot or worse.I read books for...
