Icebreaker (The Icebreaker Trilogy)

Icebreaker (The Icebreaker Trilogy)

By Lian Tanner

I chose a three out of five rating because the book took a very long time to have only a little bit of action. But, once you got like three fourths of the way through, it picked up and was hard to put down. I also gave it that rating because I had a hard time focusing on the book when I was reading it. This book was pretty interesting, though. I’d never thought of some people as anti-machinists, and I don't understand how that would ever happen to people in the future. Lastly, I would recommend it to anyone from the age of ten through thirteen. So, basically fourth grader’s through seventh graders.

Ninth Ward

Ninth Ward

By Jewell Parker Rhodes

Ninth Ward is a really interesting book about a girl ( Lanesha ) and her foster mother ( Mama Ya-Ya ). Lanesha was orphaned at birth and was fostered because her rich Uptown family is scared of her. Around the middle of the book hurricane Katrina strikes, but Mama Ya-Ya and Lanesha are stuck, unable to get out of New Orleans. I would definitely recommend this book for ages 9-12. Overall a really good book for people who like cliffhangers.

Series Mix: The City of Ember; People of Sparks; Artemis Fowl; the Arctic Incident

Series Mix: The City of Ember; People of Sparks; Artemis Fowl; the Arctic Incident

By Jeanne DuPrau, Eoin Colfer

I have read the first two books in this series. I really like them so far. They are written by Jeanne Duprau and I just finished the second book. The genre of these books is fiction. Because in the first book, the people of Ember find out they are living below underground. They find a note that says there is a way to the surface of the earth. In the second book they adventure above ground and meet the People of Sparks. I would recommend this book for kids in 3rd grade to 6th grade.

The Wild Ones

The Wild Ones

By C. Alexander London

"I promise, heart to snap." Can you imagine a world where animals roamed without fear, but they were divided among two sides? On one side are the Wild Ones, consisting of rats, weasels, raccoons and pretty much everything in between - but on the other side are the bloodthirsty Flealess, People's pets who aren't as cuddly and soft as you imagined. Both sides are about to get in a bitter war about possession over Ankle Snap Alley, the most rundown, Slivered Sky-reminiscent place you could imagine - but still, a home for the Wild Ones. Meanwhile, a young, carefree raccoon named Kit thinks he's the farthest away as possible from Slivered Sky life. His parents are historians, travelling all over the world to find artifacts related to Azban, the first Raccoon. But when his parents die at the hands of bloodhounds, Kit must follow his mother's last words - he must protect the Footprint of Azban at all costs and find his uncle Rik. Kit doesn't know why his parents had to die protecting the Footprint of Azban - for all he knows, it's just an artifact, nothing important! But suddenly Kit finds out a shocking secret about his parents and the Footprint of Azban.. and suddenly, Kit finds out that he's the only one who can uncover the secret that gives Ankle Snap Alley to the Wild Ones.. but will he die at the hands of the Flealess trying to uncover it? An almost worthy successor to the great adventure novels that were Redwall, this novel has a big heart and a great bit of adventure. In one word, I think this book is refreshing. A fresh breath of spring air in an alley, you could say. I love how this book takes the "animal" genre towards a new direction, focusing not on dogs, cats, and the like, but on other animals that deserve the spotlight for a change! That being said, I love how this book has such a diverse cast of animals! Another thing I love about this book is the unlikely (at the beginning) friendship of Kit and Eeni. I'm also relieved there isn't a romantic relationship between any of the characters (except Kit's parents, of course), because it's honestly becoming cliche. I loved how their friendship was genuine, not some plot twist where one betrays the other, because honestly I've read too many of those books lately.. The character development and details really pulled me into this world of ragtag animals.. I think that the only thing that negatively surprised me was the surprising amount of violence (don't be turned away from this book because of that, there's only a little), I think I was expecting a feel-good, family book but there was actual hunting/war/violence and even a death at the beginning (not too many details) But what can you say - this book really tugged at my heart with its adventurous spirit. This book delved into a cutting-edge storyline.. but it also explored the true feelings of its characters, and that might be why I loved this book.
