Kids Books - Science Fiction

Really funny

What else I loved about the book: EVERYTHING!!! I cannot recommend this book enough. It was pure, YA literature goodness. I'd give it 10 out 5 stars! It was that good. My reaction after finishing the book - Holy Cow that was amazing! Simply put - You must read this book!

It's real awesome! Unleash the powers on the world! Let Steven the butler take care of it!

I like this book because sometime the plot makes me nervous, sometimes it makes me wanna cry. There are a lot of different feeling and mood in this book. There are touching part, impressive part, Surprisingly part , also there are some nervous and dangerous part. So when I was reading it, I had many different feeling at the same time, sometimes I could get it, sometimes it's really complicated. But it's still a heartbreaking story.

The book, The Company Of Ghosts, is a spooky book about the ghost in a small island that exist about 200 years. The main character Ellie was a new ghost, other ghosts didn't even know that she is in the island. Ellie met George and started a relation, and they both went through a serious of problems and struggles. At first I didn't really enjoy reading the book because it is full of spooky things. But after I read few chapters, I started to like this book because of the other ghosts and their lives in the island. I would recommend this book to the people that enjoy reading spooky and some romance books, some part of the book has romance and some chapters are sad to read. Overall I enjoy reading this book.

This book was about a girl named Stephanie who met a mysterious person called Skulduggery Pleasant who was a friend of her dead uncle and Skulduggery brought her into a world she never knew existed. Skulduggery Pleasant is my favorite character because he has a good sense of humor and also uses cool magic. My favorite parts of the book was when they were using magic to battle evil magicians. I would recommend this book to others who enjoy fantasy and fiction stories and I would rate it 9/10.

Wow... didn't honestly think they had it on here.I love Naruto this manga opened my mind to the next generation of shinobi.

I had mixed feelings about this book. There were parts I like and there were parts I hated. So, I'll split this review into what I liked and what I didn't like. Starting on a good note, what I liked: Big one for me - character growth. I could see a steady progression of growth in Sonya throughout the book. Revolution theme. Seeing the rising of a revolution and the problems that arose with it. World building. I really got a sense of the countries and cultures. What I didn't like: The inconsistentness of Sonya's 6th sense. For example, in the beginning Sonya feels the anger/hunger of the peasants at the gate of her convent and it controls her to the point that she ultimately kills her friends. Then later she has no (mostly but I'll get to that later) problem controlling her emotions in just as high emotional situations. The only time she can't control her emotion 6th sense is when the emperor feels any passionate/lusty type emotion toward her. She's then all over him later blaming her 6th sense for the lack of resistance. The books focus was much more on her love interests then it was on revolutionary plot or that there were starving people in the world. Lastly, for Sonya having killed her friends in the beginning of the book, she got over it pretty fast. She "punished" herself by holding a statue with her friend's blood on it (she can feel the pain of her dead friend through the blood). But that stopped even before a quarter of the book was done. Aesthetic note: For me the book was really a three part book. The first part was between the convent and arriving at the castle, the second was arriving at castle and finishing reading the poetry book, and the third part was between finishing the poetry book and the end of the book. I had an ARC so maybe there was a page that said part 1, part 2, and part 3, but if not, it would have been a nice physical transitional between the grown of the character.

Do you like historical fiction with time traveling and a smidge of romance? If that sounds like you don't bother reading my review any farther and just go pick up Into the Dim and enjoy it. I'd give Into the Dim 3 1/2 stars. At first, Hope (main character) was a claustrophobic, fearful, jittery mess that would have a panic attack at the thought of closed spaces. For me it didn't work - I was annoyed at the beginning when it seemed like every other thought was about how fragile she was. Finally, the panicky thoughts toned down and Hope got a little moxie. My other problem was that Hope didn't ask any questions. There were lots of strange things going on such as a secret room in the broom closet or her mom in a picture wearing a toga and she just shrugged them off like it's totally normal. When she did try to ask a question the other characters would change the subject or ignore her. She would not push for an answer even when it was obvious they were lying. This brings up my other issue - predictability. Hope didn't find out about time travel until about 50% into the book. Readers know about the time travel aspect from the beginning thanks to the book's summary, "...also a member of a secret society of time travelers." Having read Into the Dim, I can tell that the author has spend a great deal of time on researching the eras and infused the book with interesting facts such as kings and queens weren't called "your Majesty" until Henry VII's reign they were just referred to as "your Grace". I also enjoyed the romance between Hope and Bran. It was very cutesy and wasn't the main focus of the book. I would say that it wasn't insta-love only because of the backstory at the end of the book. Intrigued? Read the book. My favorite character was Phoebe, I wish she would have been the main character instead of Hope. She had a much better personality (so much more spunk) and I love her blue hair. Last problem with Into the Dim was that some of the scenes seemed cheesy, especially the fight scene with Eleanor in her bedroom. Might have just been me but... Anyway Into the Dim is worth reading. I was entertained and I enjoyed it which is what you look for in a book. *Thank you to NetGalley and HMH Books for Young Readers for allowing me to read this book.

This book is so far my favorite. I love, love, love San Francisco!!!! This book goes though the history of the Golden Gate Bridge with a few fictional events, but all factual, well, facts.
