This book is beautiful. I remember seeing it around when I was at school, and I wish I'd taken the time to read it back then. What I find unique about the writing is that although it seems quite simple, the description and imagery makes everything so real and makes you feel as if you're really there...
Ten-year-old Michael was looking forward to moving into a new house. But now his baby sister is ill, his parents are frantic, and Doctor Death has come to call. Michael feels helpless. Then he steps into the crumbling garage. . . . What is this thing beneath the spiders' webs and dead flies? A human...
One of my favorites from childhood and one of the only times I beat Ama to reading a book (she gave this to me on my birthday two or three years after I'd read it the first time). It seemed like a different book this time around. I think I was just noticing different things (I thought the Persepho...
A wonderful novel -- one that isn't hampered by its being written for a YA audience. The story of a boy who moved into a new home while his family grappled with his newborn sister's fight to survive, Almond takes a fairly depressing story and drops in remarkable characters in the form of a neighbor ...

It's fascinating to consider Mina, a character I'd viewed with a lot of affection by the end of her book, from his perspective. Often Mina is capable of being a good friend, but she can a...
This is just one of those books that stays with you for a long time after reading it as it's so compelling, emotional and so different from other young teen fantasy stories. I remember reading this one in school and very much enjoying it and so when I had the chance to borrow it from a friend and re...
this book is absorbing and glues you to the book, you wouldn't want to put the book down, it involves a boy who discovers somthing in his garage and his dad is planning on knoking it down so he and his friend moves him to a house where he discovers his true self.
I read this as an English class read, during my first year of secondary school. I found the book enthralling and couldn't wait until each week to read a little more. The thing I remember most though, is how detailed the book is and how the author draws you into the story and the characters lifes.
How refreshing -- a well-balanced and thoughtful protagonist who has close friends, does well in school, gets on with his parents (two of them, for a change), is liked by his teachers, manages -- at least, for most of the book -- not to indulge in verbal sparring with the girl-next-door. Be still, m...
