Kids Books - Science Fiction

After reading Six of Crows, I didn't know if Crooked Kingdom would meet up to the standards of its prequel, but it delivered and more. We got to see even further inside the personal dilemmas of the characters, and how they still think everything through and come up with the perfect plan. I loved this book a lot, maybe even a little more than Six of Crows, and I think I can say that this is an amazing series, one of my favorites.

Maria Merryweather is a 13-year-old girl living in the year 1800s in England. Her parents are dead, and she can't go on living in her house in London, so she, her guardian Miss Heliotrope, and her dog Wiggins go to live at Maria's cousin Sir Benjamin's manor, Moonacre Manor. Moonacre Manor is located in a valley with a church, a village called Silverydew, woods, and a bay nearby. At the manor, Maria meets many people, including a boy named Robin, an old parson, and a woman named Loveday. There, she finds out that the men from the woods are causing trouble in Silverydew and won't allow the village children to play at the bay and won't sell the fish they catch to the villagers. Maria must do something, but what? Can she succeed where hundreds of past Merryweathers have failed? I liked this book because it has a lot of adventure and was funny, but sometimes it was a little boring.

Carmer and Grit, in my opinion, is a 3 ½ star-worthy book. I’m saying this because the book itself is a little on the slow side, and I enjoy more fast-paced books that keep you on the edge of your seat; And this just wasn’t one of them. You could tell what was going to happen. I thout that even if you took out some of the chapters, the book would still make sense. The storyline, though, I thought was interesting and fun because the plot made you actually want to finish the book. I would recommend this book for ages 7+, and people who like magic and faeries. I’m giving the book Carmer and Grit an extra half star because I mean, it wasn’t a bad book, albeit the fact it wasn’t very engaging, it still deserved an extra half of a star because the story still made me feel feelings, like anger at Gideon, sympathy for Grit and Carmer, and disgust at The Mechanist. Overall, this book is right between mediocre and good.

Skyward, by Brandon Sanderson is a science fiction novel about a girl who exceeds expectations and claims the stars. The protagonist, Spensa Nightshade is a 17 year old girl living the underground city of Igneous on the planet Detritus. Spensa's ancestors crashed on the planet after Earth became uninhabitable, and they have lived on Detritus ever since. The most coveted job on the planet is the job of pilot, and dangerous job that consists of flying into the air and fighting the Krell, aliens who have been attacking Detritus for decades. Spensa's dream is to fly with the pilots, and protect her people, however some dreams are not meant to be. Spensa's father, Zeen Nightshade, is a notorious pilot who fled during one the most important battles of the history of the planet. No one will let the daughter of a coward into the ranks of flights school, no one sane that is. When an unexpected meetup with her father's old colleague lands her a spot in flight school, Spensa is plunged into a world of possibility. Spensa is determined that her father was not a coward, and will stop at nothing to prove it. Faced with secrets, and ploys, and uptight flightleaders, Spensa will fly among the stars and become the hero her people need . . . or die trying. This was a fast paced and well written book with excellent character development, crazy plot twists, and humor. Spensa is a strong and independent female lead who doesn't hold back on her thoughts. While I normally don't enjoy science fiction, I loved this one. It was an incredible mix of AI, coming of age, and friendship. I'd recommend this for late elementary school and middle school. There are some non descriptive deaths, with the aftermath of grief being described in detail. I highly recommend Skyward for those who want a fast paced book to read.

Nothing like a cat, some rats and a boy and his pipe to create a fun story. Pratchett at his finest - as always!
