Teen Book Review - Shadowmancer


Title: Shadowmancer
Author: Taylor G.P.
Rating: 2 Stars
Review: Meh.  Thefirst chapter was cool but then it becomes very dramatic and the charactersstart acting like things they're not. For example the 14 year old tomboy girl starts crying like a 6 year oldand the 13 year old boy starts acting like he's 30.  The plot would have been interesting withoutthe character mess-ups.  It's mainlyabout a person who wants to rule the world and how some people try to stop him.  I would not recommend it.

Teen Book Review - Elephant Run

Title: Elephant Run

Author: Roland Smith

Rating: 4 Stars

Review: It is a great book. Sometimes it is a little slow, but I would recommend it. It is good if you like history, World War II, or animals. I thought it was very interesting.

Teen Book Review - Hate that Cat

Title: Hate that Cat

Author: Sharon Creech

Rating: 2 Stars

Review: Hate that Cat is a book about a kid named Jack who had a dog that died and hated cats. He wrote a lot of poetry and the pages were even written like poems. Although, I thought it was a terrible book. It barely even had a plot. Like nothing happened. I read all of the 2010-2011 Iowa Children's Choice Award Books and I thought Hate that Cat was the worst. I wouldn't recommend it.

Teen Book Review - Every Soul a Star

Title: Every Soul a Star

Author: Wendy Mass

Rating: 5 Stars

Review: Every Soul a Star is an amazing book. Three different kids all end up in the same spot-a campground. The reason is there would be an eclipse there. Everybody has to depend on each other to help them at times. Every Soul a Star is written in three different views all explaining what they were thinking and all their stories. Every Soul a Star is a great book. You should read it.

Teen Book Review - 39 Clues series

Title: The 39 Clues Series

Author: Riordan, Korman, Lerangis, Watson, Carman, Park, and Haddix

Rating: 5 Stars

Review: This series should not be rated 5 stars it should be rated much more than that. The 39 Clues is one of my favorite book series.

When Grace Cahill dies in her will many family members got a choice between $1,000,000 and the first of 39 clues. Each team is from a different branch of the family. Irina Spasky and the Kabras are Lucians. Lucians are great at spying and there ancestor Luke was the oldest in the family. Alistair Oh and the Starling Triplets are Ekaterinas. Ekaterinas are very smart. The Holts are Tomas' the Tomas' are very strong, but not the smartest. Jonah Wizard is a Janus. They are great at art and music. Amy and Dan are not sure what branch they are in. The 7 teams compete in a clue hunt remembering the words "Beware the Madrigals" The 39 Clues is amazing and I would recommend it.
