This book is seriously one of a kind. If you're looking for something funny, fast-paced, full of drama and a little action and a whole metric crap-ton of nerdy jokes and puns, then this is the book for you. If you've ever taken a Latin class, this is for you....

This is my favorite of Katie McGarry's books, by far. In fact, I started reading it after I was a few chapters into Dare You To (#2 in the series) and finished it seriously weeks before DYT. Crash Into You has incredible characters that you will fall in love with,...

Looking for a clever, easy to understand book to teach kids about animals and evolution? Look no further! Blechman & Rogers' ANIMAL KINGDOM, part of the "Information Graphics: Understand the facts in the blink of an eye" series, is the latest and greatest non-fiction book. With...

This "picture book" was not quite what I was expecting. It was much more enjoyable and wondrous. This is a story told in a very unique way. A story about the environment, about humanity's influence on the planet, and about the wild diversity of life that deserves...

Once I started, I couldn't put it down. This is my favorite mystery/thriller of the year, last year, the year before. . .Okay, so I don't really read mysteries, but now I want to! NEARLY GONE is still one of my favorite books of the year so far, in any...

I was very pleased with the second installment in the Paladin Prophecy series. Adventure, humor, superpowers, and a mythological quest to save the world make this a very entertaining series. First of all, the characters are really fun. They're normal in so many ways, but they...

This fun and quirky cat book is part 'guide to new kitten parents' and part 'memoir of a kitten wranger'. It is based on the blog of the same name, run by the author. Middle grade readers and adults will enjoy the charming stories of Laurie...

Avalon starts off with a bang - Jeth and his crew of teenage thieves must steal a ship and get it back safely to their crime lord boss, Hammer. Then the action slows, and we learn about the crew, Jeth and Lizzie's past, their parents' deaths, and all about their...

There is so much to love about SALVAGE. It feels like classic sci-fi with a teenage protagonist and modern struggles. I have little, if nothing, to complain about. I appreciate it being a standalone novel, and at a little over 500 pages it is definitely able to tell a complete...

What would you create out of 2 grey circles, a big half circle, 2 black circles, an orange triangle, and a red cloud-shape? If you could create anything at all in the world out of these shapes, and use all of your imagination. . .what would you do? ...
