Review:The physical book is of excellent quality. I bought this as a gift so I'm not sure how great the book is, but I'm sure it's amazing because the rest of the series is PHENOMENAL and Garth Nix never disappoints!! Read more
Review:My relationship with Australian author Garth Nix is an odd one. My first introduction to Nix was in middle school when I attempted to read his famous Sabriel novel after being relentlessly urged to do so by friends. I couldn't get further than one hundred pages. It was so excruciatingly boring that I had to stop -and I rarely give up on books that after I've begun them.

Review:While wandering through the local bookstore four years ago I came across Sabriel in the Young Adult section. Noticing the cover I picked it up and read the first chapter. I was hooked.

Review:Wow.
Alan Gratz’s Refugee should be required reading for middle school students. In this novel, Gratz tells the story of three refugees: 1) Josef, a Jewish boy escaping Nazi Germany, in 1938, 2) Isabel, a Cuban girl escaping Castro’s rule in 1994, and 3) Mahmoud, a boy fleeing from Syria in 2015. Alternating points of view, Gratz tells three stories that are gripping and unforgettable.
Confession: I read this book in two days; I cried a lot, and even though I’m done reading, I’m st... Read more

Review:Hard to believe that this 8th book in The Chronicles of St Mary's is just as suspenseful and enjoyable as book #1. I don't know how Jodi Taylor manages to keep us engrossed, entertained and wanting book #9 to be written as soon as possible, but she does! I am a huge fan of this whole series. Read more
