Review: New favorite book alert! This author has a magical way with words that can sweep any reader away into a completely new and unfamiliar world. I was enchanted by the story of Kya, known as the Marsh Girl because of her wild and isolated ways. Living on her own from a very young age, Kya is as much apart of the North Carolina marsh as the tides and the gulls. However, she is tempted to become apart of the modern world when loneliness creeps in and acceptance becomes her deepest desire. This new life only brings danger into Kya's life when she is accused of murder.

Genre: Dystopian
Review: While I’m glad to have read this classic, I can’t say that I particularly liked it. I definitely appreciated it. I certainly see why it’s a classic that should be read (especially in today’s society), but it’s just so depressing! I wanted rebellion and courage and sacrifice, but instead I was met with gloom and hopelessness. All that said, I am happy that I read this archetypal dystopian since it has had such a great influence on the novels coming after it.

Review: What an enjoyable read! Set during the civil rights movement, this story follows three sisters who live in New York with their grandparents. Delphine, Vonetta, and Fern can barely remember their mother who abandoned them, but now they’re on a flight to Oakland, California to spend part of the summer with her. I loved how this book handled serious and important topics but in a lighthearted and at the same time empowering way.

Genre: Fantasy, Horror
Review: Just like Coraline, this story has the right balance of creepy and cute. The message of the story is sentimental although it is achieved through spooky means. Also, everything about this book is SO creative and unique. After a heinous murder of his whole family, a baby finds himself under the protection of the graveyard nearby. Dubbed Nobody Owens, he is raised in the graveyard by his ghostly parents, other spooky apparitions, and his neither-alive-nor-dead guardian Silas. Bod goes on many adventures, but he must eventually face the man who killed his family.

He gets his brother's gun and hops into the elevator, knowing he's got 7 floors until the lobby, but unaware that on each floor he will be visited by a different ghost.

Review: This was kind of a cross between So B. It and Wonder, and I loved reading it. After her best friend dies drowning, Suzy cannot except the truth of it and hopes to prove that Franny died from a jellyfish sting. But even if Suzy can prove this, it won’t bring Franny back or make up for the way things ended between the two friends.

Author: Alan Gratz
Genre: Historical Fiction
Review: I’ve read several books by Alan Gratz, and I have loved each of them. Gratz is a master of historical fiction, and it is evident in Grenade. The book begins with two perspectives: Ray, a young American soldier, and Hideki, a young Okinawan civilian both thrown into the battle between America and Japan. As the battle lines draw closer and closer on the island, both Ray and Hideki see the many horrors of war. Everything leads up to when the boys meet and must decide what to do in one terrifying moment.

Review: I love this book. It’s one of my favorites! After Devin's grandfather dies, he must find a way to continue in an apocalyptic world devastated by extreme drought. He finds refuge at Gabriel H. Penn's Home for Childhood, but it is not what it seems. I love this creepy and unique take on dystopian!

Review: I really like when a novel is in verse for a purpose! Here, Marcie writes poems in a blue spiral notebook to tell her story. Her parents are getting divorced, and she’s forced to move to New Hampshire away from her boyfriend, Linus, and her group of friends, the leftovers. This book makes so much sense as a novel in verse, and I couldn’t picture it any other way. I also couldn’t put it down! I love a good romance.
