The Secret Twin

The Secret Twin by Denise Gosliner Orenstein and Dan McCarthy (illustrator) is a beautifully-written, spell-binding story narrated from the perspectives of 13-year-old Noah, and Grace, the health-care worker who is taking care of him. Noah, the sole survivor of the surgery separating him and his conjoined-at-the-heart twin brother, lives with his self-absorbed grandmother and the secret guilt of surviving his brother. Grace comes to take care of him when his grandmother goes into the hospital for more plastic surgery. Their stories unfold as they reveal their secret losses to each other. Intense characterizations and extraordinary writing make this book memorable with great potential for discussion.

Uglies, Pretties, Specials, and some very dissapointed readers.

The Uglies Trilogy by Scott Westerfeld was an amazing read in the beginning. Uglies was catchy and intriguing, Pretties was tragic and addictive, but Specials was a big dissapointment to me. As the series went on, it seemed like the age group of readers Scott Westerfeld was writing for was getting lower and lower, the plot seemed unfinished, and Special Tally was completely diffrent than the Tally we had come to know and love (although her decisions sometimes make us want to put down the book then and there.) Don't get me wrong, it was a good book, but fell short of Uglies and Pretties by a long shot.

When It Happens By: Susane Colasanti

Senior Year there is too directions you can go: Stress about getting into Ivy League or Slack like you aren't going to be working at McDonalds 1 Week after you graduate and realize you lame exsitance isn't relavant.
Sara is Stressing to and extend where a blow torch to a calc book is a considerable opition. She's been waiting and waiting for Dave to call. All Summer. He's Beach Blonde and a jock what isn't great about that?
Tobey had or should I say has and forever will have a huge crush on Sara. But his slacking ways might shine thought and bite all chances with Sara in the ass. There is a good chance his charm wit and big blue eyes might save him. But what about Dave? Dave can't give Sara all the things Tobey can, right?

In this Binding, Eyes-Super-Glued to the Page romantic teen novel is fantastic and clever as it's dynamic characters. And if you happen to read this and I happen to see you I'll know you read this because your eyes will be carrying heavy luggage and blood-shot from reading this.

The True Meaning of Cleavage By: Mariah Fredericks

Though the title may throw you for a spin, this inspiring story of one confused freshmen is witty and creative. Jess is Sari's best friend for life. Plain and Simple. Or so Jess thought. But when Sari falls for the smokin' senior David Cole things go in a different direction. Which happens to be the way David is walking or some person he may have asked for a pencil in the 1st grade. Jess is caught in the middle. Sari used to talk about things other than David but now it's her every thought. As far as Jess can see David maybe out of even Sari's reach. Or is he? Maybe we could ask his girlfriend, she must know right?
