A Tangle of Knots

A Tangle of Knots

By Lisa Graff

This wasn't my favorite book. The ending was too simple, and I felt like the author didn't express enough about the world that the book takes place in. It was really short, and if I'm honest with myself, it was NOT a fourth and fifth grade level book. It was more like a third and fourth grade level book. I think the interest level is more Grades 2-4 rather than grades 3-7. I'd heard a lot of great things about the book, but I don't think I saw it how other people did. It was an interesting setting, where almost everyone had a talent, but that wasn't much of a fantasy for me. I think that everyone is extremely good at SOMETHING, they just don't know it yet. But in the book, it was kind of saying that you can only be what you're good at. I might be extremely good at something, but that does NOT mean I have to enjoy doing it. I was especially disappointed with the book because the author, Lisa Graff wrote one of my favorite books of all time, Absolutely Almost. That book really touched my heart and is special to me. But I didn't feel that in A Tangle of Knots. I wish that it had more depth to it. It was really flat for me. Anyways, it did have a touching moment with Cady and her father, but that was the only special thing about A Tangle of Knots. After reading Absolutely Almost, I had assumed A Tangle of Knots would be equally good if not better. Boy was I wrong.

A Clatter of Jars

By Lisa Graff

This book is the sequel to Lisa Graff’s A Tangle Of Knots. This book is set just after the first book ends, but there are some time passages and you should probably read the prologue, just FYI, I think it helps deepen your understanding. You don’t have to. Anyway, this book takes place in a camp on the edge of a lake, a camp for people only with singular talents. Liliana Vera also has a singular talent, she is a Pinnacle, someone who can move objects with there mind. There are lots of other singular talents the campers poses, such as being able to hold your breath for a long time, hearing things up with your hands, changing your hair at will, lie detecting, tasting memory’s, and even a recollector, someone who can take and then give memories at will, amount others. At this camp, the lake holds a secret, but almost no one knows the secrets the lake holds. There may be some dangerous people on the lose, and it is up to the campers to stop them.

Poison Apple #3: Miss Fortune

Poison Apple #3: Miss Fortune

By Brandi Dougherty

I love a good old fashioned "fortune teller gone bad" story. And this novel lives up to that potential...and then some. Since this is aimed at the youngsters (ages 8-12), I will say that the author does take this responsibility with great care. She produces a solid story line with just enough creepiness to not give your eight-year-old nightmares and just enough to keep your twelve-year-old engaged (unless her mind has already been tainted with horror/slasher films). Mia and Zoe are best friends who do it all together. They decide to attend a carnival with a group of friends, and before the night is over, one of their lives will be dramatically changed for the worst...that would be Zoe. You see, Zoe makes a mistake. While her friend Mia is having her fortune read, Zoe sort of/kind of makes fun of the fortune teller. Well, any good skeptic will know this is just not the best of plans, and soon Zoe finds that out, beginning the morning after the reading.

The_greatest

I absolutely LOOOVVEEE this book. It's about a girl named Kendall, and she can see ghosts. She helps the ghosts with their problem and then they move on. This time, the ghost was a girl named Danielle. She was a gymnast who died in a bus ride. She had to go tell her former best friend something but it was hard to remember what. The drama is that, Kendall's best friend has a boyfriend. And she's getting closer to her crush. She has to balance it with problem solving though. It's a great mystery book. And I can't wait to read the next one!
