Reveiws

Fans of A.G. Howard's "Splintered" series will enjoy what is likely to be another hit series from Paige. ["Suggest to readers looking for a modern story with dark, fairy-tale underpinnings": SLJ 6/16 review of the Bloomsbury book.]

An A-plus addition for libraries and home collections and a must-have for family road trips.

For fans of Ally Carter, thrillers, and stories with unsympathetic or unreliable narrators. ["Readers will be on edge waiting for Morgan to be caught in her own game, but the clunky, action-filled plot will deter their satisfaction": SLJ 7/16 review of the Atheneum book.]

This charming and cleverly written offering about love, family, and a dog's (mis)interpretation of the world will appeal to young listeners.

Fans of the "House of Robots" books will find this a fully satisfying adventure. Purchase where the series is popular.

A great choice for libraries that have an audiobook collection and those interested in historical fiction and compelling family stories. ["Well-written…has a thoroughly believable protagonist and well-chosen period details. It should be noted that Gonzalez portrays the single sympathetic Communist character as increasingly brainwashed": SLJ 5/10 review of the Knopf book.]

For fans of The Secret Garden, this is a must-read. For those not familiar with the earlier novel, this is a sweet and satisfying tale of friendship and growth.

For those looking for ways to teach tolerance and celebrate the accomplishments of women. ["Classes across the curriculum can utilize this informative book": SLJ 2/15 review of the City Lights book.]

A fascinating and well-done audio offering for most history collections. ["Students and teachers will benefit greatly from this engaging exploration of America's most overlooked and misunderstood historical periods": SLJ 9/09 review of the Holt book.]
