This is one of the best books I've ever read. I'm serious. Hundreds of books on my shelves, and I usually avoid the children's genre nowadays because I figured I'd read all the ones that weren't cheesy, but...whoah. I am truly blown away. This book has everything: a smart, tough heroine, an amazing ...

This book is another free gem I got off the YA Sync Summer Audio Program. I really love this program because I end up listening to stuff that I otherwise wouldn’t have picked up on my own. The cover of the book looked hokey and the description didn’t do much for me, but I was pleasantly surprised wh...

This is so awesome I don't even know where to start. Must order the rest of Landy's catalog right now.I love that this is UF for a younger crowd.

The general premise of Skullduggery Pleasant has the makings of an ordinary mystery that's been done many times before. However, instead of a normal detective, you have a living skeleton with magical abilities (obviously). For the needed female protagonist, you have Stephanie, a 12 year old with an...

I really enjoyed this book. At first, I was worried that this book was a little too child-ish for me. But as I read on, I realized that I really enjoy the plot line and the main characters in this book.This book reminds me of a children's version of Cassandra Clare's books. A very strong female char...
