| Tracy's Book Review - Perchance to Dream
Book 2 in the Theatre Illuminata trilogy Review: I LOVED the first book - Eyes Like Stars, and was itching to get my hands on this one. It did not disappoint. The pacing was fast, the characters were exceptionally written. I love the uniqueness of this series. I enjoy the script entries that appear and I am very excited for the next book. Highly recommend! 4 stars Reviewed by Tracy Briseño - Teen Librarian extraordinaire!  |
| Teen Book Review - Alanna the First Adventure Title: Alanna the First Adventure Author: Tamora Pierce Rating: 4 Stars Review: This is the first book in the Song of the Lioness series. It is a great adventure book with a little bit of magic. I liked that Alanna worked as hard as she could even when it was tough. It really makes you want to read more. Nickname: Taylor Age: 11  |

| Teen Book Review - Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Title: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Author: J.K. Rowling Rating: 5 Stars Review: This fantasy book is about Harry Potter. It makes you sorta glad that we don't have magic in the real world. This book shows the true power of bravery, And is just a real fun read Nickname: Joe Age: 16  |
| Teen Book Review - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Title: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Author: J. K. Rowling Rating: 5 Stars Review: The conclusion to Harry Potter ends spectacularly. Usually, the last book of any series end quite badly or at least in my experience. Harry Potter, however, exceeded my expectations. Throughout the course of Harry Potter, characters mature, the writing deepens, and overall, the books don't disappoint fans. I remember when I first read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (or the Philosopher's Stone in the UK version) in 4th grade. It was different than anything I had ever read. Now as a 9th grader, I still enjoy Harry Potter. One thing I didn't like about Harry Potter? It ended too quickly. Nickname: Terry Age: 14  |
| Teen Book Review - Breaking Dawn Title: Breaking Dawn Author: Stephenie Meyer Rating: 1 Star Review: If you thought Twilight was poorly written, Breaking Dawn is even worse. Bella's transformation from Mary Sue to Super Sue is astonishingly appalling. The already flat characters are paper thin, such as the examples of beautiful Edward and smokin' Jacob. The plot line is horrible and wrecked with plot holes. The monster spawn (I shall not give out too many spoilers) is beyond fanfiction imagination. The only positive thing I have to say is that more people are reading because of this overly-popular series. If you want good fiction, however, avoid this book at all costs.

| Teen Book Review - Twilight Title: Twilight Author: Stephenie Meyer Rating: 2 Stars Review: Sadly, the fandom of Twilight today has ruined this mediocre book. Regardless of this fandom, the book itself is not good. The characters are author self-insertions (Bella) and the male protaganist's portrayal of a stalker is shadowed by his attractiveness. The storyline isn't the best, nothing happens until the last 5 chapters. Before that, it's about the "attraction" Bella and Edward feel. This book is not realistic. You can't imagine a "perfect" man to be with. Bella is nothing but a Mary-Sue and the rest of the series aren't very good either. Nickname: Terry Age: 12  |
| Teen Book Review - Summer of My German Soldier Title: Summer of My German Soldier Author: Bette Greene Rating: 3 Stars Review: It was a pretty good book, but a thought that the age difference between them took away from the plot. Nickname: Alissa Age: 14  |
