“I loved the first book, Stargirl. And this follow-up was endearing, too. I like how Stargirl enables the people around her to grow, be happy, and be creative. I guess I’m a sucker for hippies–I find them appealing and always wished I had been around for Woodstock. I adore the solstices so that tie-in was meaningful. This is a young adult selection. If you want to read a book about a young woman who is home schooled and sorting her unconventional life out, this is a book for you. This book quietly examines this journey called life that holds challenges and victories for everyone.”
If you’re a fan of the Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer, you’ll want to keep track of the countdown for her next book, Breaking Dawn! Check out this video of the author talking about the upcoming release:
“This book takes place in the future after a war has abolished abortion. Instead, with parent’s order or state order, those between the ages of thirteen and eighteen can have their lives ‘unwound’ and their body parts harvested for use by others. Three teenagers go to extreme lengths to stay alive by running away and staying in hiding as best they can. This is a haunting story in so many ways. It doesn’t matter what your present position is on the abortion issue, this book will make you think. There is one chapter that goes through the ‘unwinding’ process, and even though it happens to a character you are not very fond of, it is still heartwrenching! This book is appropriate for teenagers and adults.”
“This story is for older teens and contains quite a bit of course language but at the same time totally nails teen romance. Nick is a high school senior in a punk rock band. Once offstage he propositions a girl he has never met, hoping to make his old girlfriend jealous: ‘Would you mind being my girlfriend for five minutes?’ From there the story is a fast paced night on the music scene in Manhattan.”
“This book is true genius. Mixing the past with the future in a new an exciting way. I enjoyed every second reading this book. With dragons,wizards, and video games this book keeps you on your two through the story. Will she when or will she die playing the game?”
“Truly a pleasant book. This short but exciting book takes the reader on an adventure. A Little confusing at first but trust me continue reading. This book is worth the confusing.”
“This was an excellent book. Despite the typical ending where the person you least expect turns out to be the killer. The thrilling part is how the murderer was discovered. Cameryn puts herself in danger for the sake of knowledge not only in this book but also in the Angel Of Death.”
“Trouble comes to Henry’s family when his brother is struck by a car. The driver of the vehicle, a Cambodian immigrant from a neighboring community, is arrested. This book is full of twists and turns to keep the reader turning pages until you reach a remarkable conclusion. It would also be a great book discussion selection.”
“I thought this was a great book because of the descriptive action. and how the flock develop cool powers over time, while being chased by flyboys and erasers.”
“Adventure abounds six thousand years ago for Torak and his wolf-cub friend. Torak is unsure of his goals, let alone how to achieve them. You will escape to a wild, wild wilderness as you read this book. Cheer Torak and Wolf along on their adventures!
