The Raft (2012)
GREAT COVER (SPOLIER ALERT) This story will spur some great dialog in any class. It is a story of survival, with lots of suspense. Robie is frustrating as a protagonist and it is I admit, difficult to root for her at first. How do you root for someone who won’t put on her life vest when t...

Mi hermana vive sobre la repisa de la chimenea (2012)
Not quite what I was expecting - far better, in fact. I thought from the title that it would be a kind of quirky, sweet, touching little novel about some kid trying to get their head round their sister's death - how an urn on the mantelpiece can be their sister. Nope - this is about how this kid'...

One for the Murphys (2012)
First off, read this book. Just do. There are so many things to say about this novel and what it does in its brief 224 pages. And those 224 pages? I whipped through them more quickly than normal thanks to Hunt's easy style.I was quickly caught up with and pulling for Carley. Hunt wrote in such a ...
A Sick Day for Amos McGee (2010)
Throughout the duration of this story I noticed that the texture of the characters were very somberly visible. Each character had a dimmed complexion that was filled with penciled detail. This included everything from the scenery, to the background of Mr. McGees bedroom and so forth. I thought th...
Counting by 7s (2013)
As much as this must've seemed like more of a children's book, it was exceptionally really, really good. The plot was very genuine, and quite relateable for many other people in this world. Putting myself in Willow's shoes, it must've been really difficult for something like that to happen to her...
