 i can definitely see why this book was nominated for the yerling newbery award. this book is amazing and "safe".  this book had SO many plot twists. I really did love it.

Thorn -  as i am older than elementary i thought this book could use more a little more of a push. 

Bud - this is a harmless book that allows 3rd graders to be eligible to read it comfortably.

* WOW is all i can really say.

i absolutely LOVED this book, it had a fantastic plot and kept me hooked from the very beginning and surprised me often.

Thorn - it ends in a cliff hanger and the sequel is not coming out anytime soon. :( otherwise i have nothing constructive (bad) to say about it.

Bud - it's like nothing I've ever read before and made me want to read more like it.  teens and adults would probably like this book... that is if you are in to thrillers and action.

 this was a new kind of book for me and an adventure because of that.

Thorn -  i did not at all like the story plot though, it was not original and was not very hooking

Rose -
 i reminded me of the treehouse series that i loved when i was younger, and brougth back memories, it is nothing "new" and isn't as surprising as some other books, but is a great option for a change in reading. 

Thorn -  this book had its sad moments that would hit you out of nowhere.  I  wasn't expecting it at all and sometimes that is a good thing, but i wasn't looking for something like that at that time

Bud - this is a really fast easy read that can be read to a large range of ages.
