Linxi Zuiran 2901596875b7c — This book is so good. I've read it twice now. The first time I listened to it and the second time I read it in paper. I recommend reading it both ways. I feel like I absorbed more detail reading it in paper, but listening to it was great too. It was especially useful in hearing how all those German words were pronounced. I don't need to give you a summary of the plot - you can get that anywhere. I will just say that as much as I love to read, it's not very often that I read a 550 page book in 5 days. It's not often that I think about a book when I'm not reading it. It's not often that a book makes me stay up late at night because I've lost all track of time. You should read it.

Callum Lewis lewis_design — I feel guilty giving this book only three stars because everyone loves it so much, but my reaction to it when I first read it was only "I like it." I think my disinterest was because I had the misfortune of reading it right after I read Tolkien. J.R.R.'s language made poor Lloyd's sound trivial. Perhaps I'll read it again. See how I feel now; so much of a child's reaction to a book is the context in which it is read.

Jaz Hunt suchadiseab8b7 — The adventure from "The Skin Map" continues in the second installation of the Bright Empires series by Stephen Lawhead. Kit and his grandfather, Cosimo, resume their search for the missing parts of the map (the map that literally contains all of the ley lines), with Wilhelmina becomes very good at time travel. Each jump on a "ley line" brings adventure (i.e. Egypt) and danger (i.e. burly men), yet they continue on. The author gives more information about Lord Burleigh and how he became the person he is. What do Kit and Cosimo find this time? Why is Kit more laid back now? Will they escape Lord Burleigh and the burly men once again, or will the evil forces win a battle? Come along with Kit, Cosimo, and Mina as they explore time travel while unraveling the secrets of the Bone House. I was excited to see this book available because I read the first one in the series. I recommend reading them in order so that the story and characters make sense to you. The characters are wonderfully written and the story line is fun. As the book comes to life, each reader gets to become a detective and a time traveler. The different characters and transitions may cause some difficulty at first, but taking the time to figure them out is worth it. This book will make a wonderful gift for young readers who love using their imagination and detective skills. I received the free copy I read on my Nook from Net Galley, and thank them for the opportunity. I look forward to the next installation.

Amy Watson ammywatson — Book Basics Title: Stork Author: Wendy Delsol Published October 12th 2010 by Candlewick Format Read: Borrowed from the library Number of pages: 357 Book Stats Setting: Minnesota A Few of the Characters: • Katla Lablanc – A 16 year old fashionista pulled from her hip and cool school in LA to the middle of nowhere Minnesota after her parents’ divorce. Not only is she the new girl, but she discovers a few family secrets, unwillingly becomes the member of a secret magical society, and is drawn to a mysterious guy named Jack • Jack Snjosson – A guy (Minnesota Native) surrounded by mystery who claims to know Katla, however she has no recollection of him… • Wade Ivarsson – Popular, but creepy, guy who is up to no good • Hulda – The leader of The Icelandic Stork Society and mentor to Katla Author Website: http://www.wendydelsol.com/ Summary From Goodreads: Family secrets. Lost memories. And the arrival of an ancient magical ability that will reveal everything. Sixteen-year-old Katla LeBlanc has just moved from Los Angeles to Minnesota. As if it weren’t enough that her trendy fashion sense draws stares, Katla soon finds out that she’s a Stork, a member of a mysterious order of women tasked with a very unique duty. But Katla’s biggest challenge may be finding her flock at a new school. Between being ignored by Wade, the arrogant jock she stupidly fooled around with, and constantly arguing with gorgeous farm boy and editor-in-chief Jack, Katla is relieved when her assignment as the school paper’s fashion columnist brings with it some much-needed friendship. But as Homecoming approaches, Katla uncovers a shocking secret about her past — a secret that binds her fate to Jack’s in a way neither could have ever anticipated. With a nod to Hans Christian Andersen and inspired by Norse lore, Wendy Delsol’s debut novel introduces a hip and witty heroine who finds herself tail-feathers deep in small-town life. What made me keep turning the page? • Katla’s personality • Trying to figure out Jack • The unique story (there wasn’t a werewolf or vampire to be found!) • The lore and mystery connected to The Icelandic Stork Society Any complaints? • Nope, I loved it! Recommendation: • Young Adult/Fantasy Readers Final Thoughts… I was drawn to this book by its cover. My to be read pile is so high, the last thing I needed was another book, but I couldn’t resist when I saw it displayed at the library. Katla was a great witty main character. The story was interesting and unique, and I just wanted to keep reading to find out what happened and what the deal was with Jack! I am so excited to see that this is the first of a trilogy, and the second book Frost is coming out in the Fall. I give this book 4 out of 4 worms!
