    If the number of copies says 0, then there are no more left and you won't be able to get any more.

    Hi Editor! I have a question. I wrote a book review, and it got an Editor's Pick, and as I was rereading it, I noticed a typo, so I changed my review and saved the changes. But when I came back a few hours ago, my typo was fixed, but the Editor's Pick symbol was gone and it just looked like a normal book review. What happened?

    "Summerlost" is an amazing book! I love that the chapters range from 1-4 pages so it seems like you've accomplished a lot. Cedar and her family move to Iron Creek for the summer after her dad and brother were killed in a car accident. Cedar is not happy to be in Iron Creek but when she meets a neighbor boy who is her same age things look great. Leo the neighbor boy helps Cedar get a job at a Shakespearean festival and they both have the time of their life. Cedar and Leo start to lie and lie some more and they just hope it doesn't blow up in their face. They try to uncover the mystery of Iron Creek's own Hollywood celebrity, Lisette Chamberlain who mysteriously died years earlier. You'll laugh, you'll cry (if you're like me), and you will definitely want Ally Condie to write a sequel. A fantastic read!

    Flight of the King was a decent second book. It's definitely good enough that you will stay glued to the very last page. It gives you the feeling that this is a real world and it's very solid and believable. (It's really similar to the Spirit Animals series, so if you're into that, check this one out!) I did find it lacking in some depth with the characters. Most of the book was action, evil plots, and crazy machines, which is fine, but I really wanted more chemistry and interaction between characters, because those are the best parts of the book. But there just wasn't much talking, and when there actually was talking, it was about serious matters, like 'how do we sneak aboard that ship', or 'we have to be careful so they don't spot us.' Hardly any wit or banter! Overall, Flight of the King was a good book, with a solid plot, (but I had trouble understanding what kind of timeline this is in, since they use both old and futuristic technology) and somewhat interesting characters. I recommend to fantasy fans, especially those who have read Spirit Animals. Fine for all ages, but elementary ages will probably enjoy these more. Can't wait to read the next book!

    What?? This reminds me of the 6th grade students not knowing that their teacher was a robot for 1 month.
