The Last Animal
by Ramona Ausubel

book cover


Did not enjoy this book. Seemed to have been written with an agenda for climate change, and the two teenage sisters were disrespectful and crass. From the mother of the children to fellow scientists, the characters were one dimensional and were often ineffectual.

Infinity Riders

book cover


An amazing sci-fi book that was written by Kekla Magoon, Voyagers: Infinity Riders, tells us a story about four 12 year-olds saving Earth by getting 6 elements scattered across the galaxy. These elements are needed to create “The Source” to save Earth. Every planet has its own dangers. This book tells about their journey of getting the 4th element on planet Infinity which has high gravity. There are caves filled up with dangerous creatures on planet Infinity. It's up to these 4 kids to get the 4th element. Overall, I would recommend this amazing book(and series) to all sci-fi fans.

Eh. There were funny parts. The rest was just tangential and attempts to be over the top ludicrous. Didn't quite get the point he was trying to make.

It was a very interesting concept for a book and I liked reading the author's interpretation of the pandemic. The author is good at world building, but sometimes there was too much description and not enough action. Overall a pretty good dystopian read.

Blue Exorcist Vol. 1 was super cool! Rin finds out he's the son of Satan, but instead of being evil, he wants to become an exorcist and fight demons. The story is exciting, the art is awesome, and I really liked the characters. Can’t wait for book two!

It's a powerful story about woman's search for independence, for finding an entity and desire to be educated. It is a gripping novel set in the days before the partition of India.

Vol. 3 was awesome! We learn more about Yukio and Rin’s past, and the fight with the ghost train was intense. Rin is trying really hard to be a hero even with his scary powers. The story is getting deeper and I love the action and friendship stuff.

Guts: A Graphic Novel
by Raina Telgemeier

book cover


I wish I'd read this in my puberty years!! Raina!!! Where were you then? With two brothers and a mom who worked and attended community college, my deep shyness and fear of asking questions as well as sharing my personal concerns isolated me in my family and with my "peers" at school or elsewhere. Ughhhh. Yuk! So glad young pre-pubescent tweens, et al have validating and confidence-giving reading like this one! Ughhhhh....even hiding "used stuff" in the kitchen garbage "indiscreetly" was nerve wracking! (so my brothers wouldn't get "the secret" I was hiding!) And the products we had in the 1970's! So weird! (And my mom was overjoyed for me - "now you can have a baby!" Really? I don't want one now! What would I do with one as a tweenager?)
