    I read this book in second grade. Five years later, I can't remember much about it, but I do remember that I loved it! You she read Stargirl, and I should RE-read it! One more thing: Does Stargirl remind anyone else of Luna Lovegood? :)

    This sounds so interesting! The terrible period of Holocaust is one my favorite things to read about. What age group is this book appropriate for?

    palindrome's book review was featured in Fever 1793.
    Fever 1793 brings the terrible yellow fever to life with a plotline full of sadness, violence, terror; the story of Matilda "Mattie" Cook. Any student who loves to learn about history will appreciate the full story of this book, but viewing as strictly an education historical fiction is not doing its suspenseful, action-packed, amazing story justice. This book has so much excitement, emotion, and adrenaline-pumping action that even a history-hating reluctant reader will devour the story. I love Fever 1793 because it lets the reader see the yellow fever outbreak in a new incarnation. Even if you're already familiar with this historical event, reading Fever 1793 will let you hear the events you know in a new, exciting, interesting way. This book, narrated in the first person by Mattie, the protagonist, makes the reader feel as though her or she personally knows the struggles of a child or teen living during the yellow fever outbreak. It gives a glimpse into the devouring fears, nightmarish scenes, and body-filled, filthy streets of some places in America in 1793. The reader will be left with lingering, longing desires to read this book again and again. If you enjoy books that are gripping, realistic, bloody, emotional, and nightmarish like I do, you will thoroughly enjoy your reading of Fever 1793. Even if violence or disease scares you, I encourage you to try reading Fever 1793. It has a value in both interesting and educational departments, and I think it could be enjoyed by any reader at all.

    Steelheart is one of my favorite books, and one of the best books I've read. David is a funny, relatable, and brave character, and a great protagonist. I can't wait for Calamity, the third book in the series, to come out in Spring of 2016. I miss the Reckoners and David, and his amazingly awful metaphors (actually similes)!

    And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie is one of my favorite books of all time! The suspense that the reader is put through when devouring this book is torturous and delicious! I love the way this book breaks the conventional rules of a mystery novel while still supplying the thrill and clever sequence of events of a detective novel. Despite its relatively slow beginning, And Then There Were None provides a plot as exciting and engaging as Harry Potter. Unlike many older books, this one is supplied with enough activity and thrills to keep any reader interested and on the edge of their seat for the book's length. And trust me on this: you'll NEVER believe who the murderer is!
