Kids Books - Science Fiction

This book may contain the most changes in the whole series of the Mortal Instruments because people are changing, things are changing, relationships are also changing. Your mouth may be sore after reading this book because you can never shut your mouth due to the excitement and suprises the book gives you. The best part in this book is when kyle revieled his true identity, I had an idea at first, but I didn't know it would be that shocking. Also, Magnus may have turned into one of my favorite chacter now, because also he is a little stubborn, he is reall kind towards the other characters and are always willing to help. At last, I would always recommend this book to kids around 13~30, because it gives you a feeling like life is an adventure and it never ends until you let it.

I love angels, and when I saw this I was like COOL. So I read it and I loved it. I'm currently on the 5th book I think. Basically, its about a group of kids with wings that escaped an facility were they were being experimented and caged. They are constantly running away from the scientist's guard dudes called Erasers and they take one of the kids. The others try to get her back. In the end they find out something that is unbelievable, and their feelings get all mixed. Its a really good book.

3 stars--I normally don't read much YA (young adult) fiction, but I decided to give this book a try, since I'm normally a very picky reader and I want to try stepping out of my comfort zone. Before getting this from the library, I read multiple warnings about violence and cursing in the book, but I went ahead and borrowed The Knife of Never Letting Go anyway. So, I liked it to an extent, but it wasn't my favorite. First off, the plot didn't really have a structure. Everything was all over the place--there was just so much happening at once that sometimes, I couldn't make sense of anything. Maybe the author did that on purpose to have more action. I don't know. Then there's the main character, Todd. He acts like he has MAJOR anger issues--he randomly starts yelling at people who help him, he throws tantrums, and he KILLS an innocent non-human fisherman just because of a battle between his hometown and the fisherman's species. I get that Todd has been through a lot--his mother died from a terrible plague, and many of his friends die throughout the story too--but that's not an excuse for him to act the way he does. He takes out his anger on other people too often, too much. I didn't see any character development in him--he remains brash and annoying throughout the story. There wasn't much of a single, huge climax. The whole book was jam-packed with enough action to have like, five climaxes. I guess the ending could have been a climax if it had been written differently, but the plot had just...deflated by that time. It's like, the characters did so much hard work to fight for what they believed in, why can't they get an ending where they're all alive and happy, for at least a little bit of time? But no, this is dystopian YA, people. That means we can't have ANYTHING remotely happy in the entire book! Instead, let's make the main characters walk into a trap and have one of them on the brink of death by the end. It's the one thing I don't like about YA. Also, the violence (I guess I should have paid more attention to those warnings). I'm no stranger to how violent YA books can get sometimes, but this was just...extreme. It's like an every-man-for-himself situation, where everyone tries to survive, each with their own vicious ways. There's so much brutal fighting that I actually skipped a page or two, just so I wouldn't have to read about so much graphic violence. However, there were some aspects of The Knife of Never Letting Go that I enjoyed. There were many twists and turns throughout the book, which was amazing. I love those stories where you THINK you absolutely know what's going to happen next...but then, BOOM! Something totally different from what you were imagining happens. it's so unpredictable. All the characters were really flawed and human, and I liked Mayor Prentiss as the bad guy--he's so cunning and cruel, he makes the perfect villain. I'll admit, I am probably going to read the next book in the series...but only because this one left off on a cliffhanger (the one thing every reader absolutely LOATHES). So that's another trip to the library for me. :)

The slave, Thomas wants to be free from the ranch. He and his sister, Birdie, have suffered way too much. One day they leave and get rescued by the Union who helps them throughout the trip. But now, the Confederacy has got them surrounded in the battlefield of Gettysburg. Will Thomas and his sister survive this battle? You have to read it to find out.

that book looks so interesting and everybody is typing such good reviews and I kind of really want a spoiler . I know that you cant tell but I am talking really fast. O my gosh I just said o my gurd I am falling apart here people

i think this was my favorite book in the series. i understand where he coming from, but that doesn't justify his actions, and i guess it was fate. i was honestly in love with rhys from the first time i saw him, and this book just made me so happy.

The trailers for it look really cool.I realy want to read this mostly because of the suspense

oh my gosh. I have read almost every Thea and Geronimo Stilton book. I feel like I will be reading these books when I am an adult. HAVE TO read it!

A mer festival a Triton missing a barrier a storm a pirate crew, Auradon , key words . What happens in this I’ll let you figure it out by reading it

I will admit, I did have my own doubts when I began to read Houdini and Me. Our protagonist, 11 year old Harry Mancini, was born and raised in the home that Harry Houdini himself lived in for the last twenty something years of his extraordinary life. Like most 11 year olds, Harry copes with typical struggles of tweens: not being given a phone, too much homework, friend drama, and the looming fact that Harry Houdini wants to switch places with Harry Mancini for the rest of eternity. Harry Mancini and his best friend Zeke decide to one day test out whether placing a penny on a train rail would flatten the penny or derail the train (Spoiler alert: It flattens the penny). Harry, after placing the money on the train rail, gets his shoelace stuck in the train rail and barely avoids being crushed by the train. However, Harry also sustains a concussion on the way down and falls into a week long coma. When he wakes, Mancini discovers that someone has sent him a flip phone as a get well gift, and Harry is less than thrilled. But all of his feelings swap when he begins to receive texts from someone; they claim to be Harry Houdini communicating from the dead. Harry Mancini enjoys his nightly text exchanges with Houdini until the latter Harry suggests that both of them switch places for one hour. Harry Mancini complies, and afterwards Houdini suggests that they do the switch once again, but they will both never return to their original form. The story ends in an amazing plot twist with Mancini waking up from another week long coma, only to find a flip phone inside a get well present. I enjoyed reading this book, and would really love to learn about what being stuck in this time loop means for both Harrys. A true page turner, I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys thrills and mysteries.
