Reviews! Reviews!


This week Lizzy's wrapping up our summer reviews! Here are the books we've shared with you over the last few months, plus a fun reading challenge.

Can you answer the questions based on Lizzy's review?


 NIGHTBIRD by Alice Hoffman

Twig has lived in the same small town since she was little. She's pretty much invisible, so no one pays any attention to her. Kids know Twig won't come to their birthday parties, nor will she invite them to her house, so it's hard for her to build friendships. She can't invite anybody over or they’d find out about her family secret. When Julia moves in next door, Twig has the first hope of a real friend... READ MORE!


QUESTION: Why does Twig's mother forbid her from spending time with her next door neighbor, Julia? 


DRAGON RIDER by Cornelia Funke

Firedrake and the other dragons are alarmed when they find out that humans are encroaching upon their land. They have been safe from the pesky humans for millions of years, although they have been pushed farther and farther away from the spaces they enjoy. Now their only hope is that the Rim of Heaven, a haven for dragons, truly exists... READ MORE! 


QUESTION: Who must Firedrake, Sorrell and Ben beware of on their journey?


WISH YOU WEREN'T by Sherrie Petersen 

 Marten is on a trip to Texas with his family to look for a new home. Luckily, he gets to bring his best friend, Paul, along. While watching the meteor shower Marten can't help but get frustrated with his younger brother, Aldrin. How could he bring one of Marten's valuable collector's items on the trip without asking? When the toy breaks Marten wishes his brother away... READ MORE!


QUESTION: Who comes to help Marten rescue his brother?


Stop by Friday for the answers!

    Those look like some fun reads! My backpack is filling back up--since I recently reached the bottom. *gasp* Well, not the end of the TBR list (that'll never happen), but the end of the review copies list.

    Great reviews by Lizzie, here's my answers (1. She can't spend time with her next door neighbor because there is an old curse on the family.
    2. The trio must beware of a dangerous dragon named Nettlebrand.
    3. A visitor from a distant land comes to help Marten.)
