The Unwanteds
This fictional, conflicted world provides little merit for readers of any age. I recommend passing on The Unwanteds series in favor of others.
Scythe
Dignity and gravitas sound together to form the deep chords of this piece, and author Neal Shusterman is a somber organist.
The Prisoner of Alcatraz
If parents are looking for a story that will present a heroic role model for their boys to imitate, this is not the series for them.
Peter Nimble and His Fantastic Eyes
Over, under, around and through these ideas and perspectives, the book exults in clever words, high adventure, and the joy of discovery. A truly fantastic read.
Ready Player One
The pros, in my opinion, far outweigh the cons. The book affirms the value of online social interaction as a step in the right direction if you’re living in a dystopia, but that reality is still best.
Flying Dinosaurs That Talk and Stuff
The books are neither very bad nor very good. On the whole, there are more positive than negative elements, but readers should be aware of these deficiencies.
A Gripping Novel About Emotional Imprisonment
“The Warden’s Daughter” could be an excellent book to read and discuss, especially as to how or why it leaves the reader unsatisfied.
Snowblind
The book manages to be fairly reflective and literary, while still remaining a page-turning mystery.
Not Just About Zombies
What makes this book different is that it gets to the heart of who we are more thoughtfully than the movies and television programs that have paved this over-tread path.
Stormbreaker: The Cynicism of Alex Rider
If this book is meant to appeal to teenage boys’ reluctance to seek good things of their own initiative, it is appealing to the worst in them.
