Hocking leaves readers eager to know more. Read-alikes include the works of J.R.R. Tolkien and Maggie Stiefvater. A recommended purchase for school libraries as well; there is no sex or drugs.
Combining sword-and-sorcery RPG elements with social justice themes, this is a must-have for all collections.
With characters to love, to hate, and to love to hate, plus a plot full of adventure skillfully woven with suspense, this is a must-purchase for all YA collections.
Tragic, moving and genuine, this is a must for middle school and high school collections and should prove highly popular.
Although the ending is a bit abrupt, this story contains fascinating facts with charming illustrations—perfect for conveying historical tidbits to young children.
Highly recommended. The sparkling and informative text and crisp, clear illustrations highlight a wide variety of birds while creating a sense of belonging for the plain kiwi and anyone else who might feel different.
This book is truly a visual and informational feast. While it is an excellent addition to science units on astronomy, it is also a useful mentor text for developing graphic literacy. Recommended for enjoyable reading, browsing, and discussing.
