Johansen, K.V. Nightwalker Orca 2007

I liked the book it had great descriptions of the characters and it left me gussing all the way through the book if you like warlocks and hat people that try to burn them then you should read this book. Nominate? No. 4Q 4P Kelly, 17
-------- -------

Nightwalker was a very short, but strangely long book. It had such world and character building, that it made the book seem longer than it really was (196 pages). I liked how the people, although in a strange land, seemed very real. Also, I think that it was great when you read about all of these stereotypes, then, at the end, people are starting to knock down those walls. Everyone should read this book. I mean it. It may look childish to some people, but it is just so real, you feel like you could be there with them. Also, I think that this book should get a lot of awards for its amazing plots (although not very original). Nominate? yes 4Q 5P Lewis, 13

The humans kicked the sorcerers out for no good reason other than they wanted their land. Now Maury's got to make his way to the small tribe of remaining sorcerers, to find out who he really is. I would like to have the galley of this book.Nominate? yes 4Q 4P Andrea F., 14

Friesen, Gayle For Now KCP Fiction 2007

I absolutely loved this book and think that more people should read it, despite the ugly cover. For Now begins with a prince and a princess whose lives are shattered when their baby daughter dies, then skips to Jes, a teenager whose parents are divorced and now lives with her mom and stepdad. Most of the characters in this book have connections to each other and aren't just randomly placed wherever. Another great thing about this book was how they compare everything to fairy tales in weird little ways throughout the book. I would hihgly recommend this book to everyone, but girls would definitely get more out of it. Nominate? yes. 4Q 4P Claire, 13
------ ------------

This was a wonderful book about a girl with a broken family. It has love and loss and all the great bits of drama packed in cover to cover. I loved everything abuot this book except the cover. The cover wasn't very appealing or relavent to the book. BUt besides that it is a fun book with believable interesting characters. Nominate? yes. 5Q 5P. Susan, 14

Meyer, Stephenie Eclipse Little, Brown 2007 - August

I loved this book! the characters are indepth and understandable. Stephenie took the series to a whole new level in this terrifyingly amazing love story. The suspense and action, the story line and the character developement all contributed to this fantastic other world. Nominate? yes. 5Q 5P Lauren, 17
------- ------

ECLIPSE is one of the most beautifully written works of its time. With a complex plot, well-developed characters, and a realistic setting, it is by far one of the most intriguing and enjoyable modern novels. Adding to its appeal, the stylistic and appropriate use of sophisticated vocabulary lends ECLIPSE an interest to more mature audiences, while still permitting it to be enjoyed by younger readers. ECLIPSE is a genius blend of romance, suspense, and comedy that will leave readers aching for more. Nominate? yes. 4Q 5P. Nicole, 17

Zarr, Sarah Story of a Girl Little, Brown 2007 - January

Deanna Lambert was 13 when she was caught in the back of Tommy Webber's "classic Buick". Her life was hard for the three years that followed. After her dad caught her and Tommy, he never talked to her or even looked at her the same. The book was awesome, it was a mixture of emotions from a sixteen year old girl who was scared to face her past. I reccomend this book to anyone who likes the dairy-like type of books. Also to anyone who thinks life is hard. I enjoyed this book and it is an easy read, especially after you get into it. Nominate? Yes 4Q 4P Amanda, 17

Landy, Derek Skulduggery Pleasant HarperCollins 2007

________ ______

This was a very original book, and I love originality. The characters were interesting and creative and the book was witty and had a captivating plot. I have nothing but good reviews for this book. Nominate? Yes 5Q 5P. Kara D., 13
_________ ___

Who would not like a detective novel, with a fire throwing, skeleton in it? A very witty book, with wonderful characters, and great plot twists. I feel like though there has to be a sequel, because it feels rather unfinished. I would like to have the galley copy of this book. Nominate? Yes. 4Q 4P Andrea F. 13
____ ____

I'm a big sucker when it comes to detective novels. Add a skeleton with an awesome name and his plucky girl sidekick, and I am going to put off eating and breathing till I finish the book. The title was what first interested me. My thoughts were along the lines of, any book named "Skulduggery Pleasant" must be at least a bit good. So, I grabbed it and started reading. Though the beginning is what might be called slow, I was soon hooked. It was almost life or death, or un-death anyway, for me to know what happened next. I my self am rather sarcastic, so finding two characters with my throttled sense of humor was great fun. I can honesty say this is the funniest book I have read since my first Terry Pratchett. Long live dead skeletons! I think "Get an afterlife" might have a good career as a bumper sticker. Nominate? Yes 5Q 5P. Logan 13
------ ---------

This has to be one of the funniest books that I have ever read! I loved how in the beginning, it was a really scary horrer book, and then suddenly, a strange guy comes up aand sais "Hi I'm Skulduggery Pleasant", and the book just gets better from there. After they meet, Stephanie and Skulduggery have to do lots of detective work and basically save the world. I would nominate this book for every award there is and it is now my second favorite book in the universe (it is second to the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy). Wants book. Nominate? Yes 5Q 5P. Lewis, 13

------------- -------

I really enjoyed this book. It wasn’t what I expected, but it took me on an adventure that I won’t forget. I really liked how the story stayed on an easy plot and you could almost guess what would happen next. Over all it was a great book, I hope there is a sequel. I defiantly recommend this book. Nominate? no 4Q 5P, Ibo Dpxez, 17

Lasky, Kathryn The Last Girls of Pompeii Penguin Group 2007

This tale of a beatiful slave girl and her mistress who has a deformed arm in Pompeii right before Vesuvius erupts had an excellent story line. However, it almost seemed like it was written for a younger audience because of the style of writing, even though some of the content was mature. I liked the way everything built up to the eruption, even though it was easy to see what was coming. I would recommend this book to people who love history. Nominate? no. 3Q 4P Claire, 13
__________ _______

I've always wondered a lot about Pompeii ever since we studied ancient civilizations in 6th grade. This book, 'The Last Girls of Pompeii', was the story of two girls, one rich, one slave, living in Pompeii before Mount Vesuvius blew. Julia, the daughter of a rich ship builder, posesses the curse of Venus, a crippled arm that hangs loosly at her side, and is unable to function properly. Sura, her slave, has beauty that turns heads everywhere she goes. Soon, something terrible is to happen to Julia, and the girls must find out how to save her. This book had a good main idea, but was far too short for all the information inside it- it was only 175 pages. I didn't love it, but it was decent. Nominate? No 3Q 3P Elle, 13

Carey, Janet Lee Dragon’s Keep Harcourt 2007 - April

When I first heard about this book I was worried that it might become a tad bit cliche, but I'm happy to say that Dragon's Keep is wonderfully original. Janet Lee Carey is very skilled at withholding just enough information so you want to keep reading, but you don't get irritated because you don't understand anything. On a scale of 1-10 I'd give it an 8 1/2. Nominate? yes. 4Q. 4P. Andrea, 14

I thought this book was great it has an extream amount of action and the author did a good job exsplaning and organizing her thoughts.Would you nominate this book for an award? yes. 5Q 4P. arianna, 16
_______ __

Carey, Janet Lee Dragon’s Keep Harcourt 2007 - April The cover was quite interesting but a little frightening in a good way. Dragons, maidens, prophecy, what more could you want in a book. The most compelling aspect was the death of ???? One girl trying to save the dragons. The two deaths are jsut so emotional that it opens eyes ??? of the two different worlds. Nominate? Yes. 5Q 5P Shadow 17

Brewer, Heather Chronicles of Vladimir Tod: Eighth Grade Bites Penguin: Dutton 2007

I thought the cover was great. I love the smiley face. I would recommend this book because it is a great book about the struggles of a teenage vampire struggling to survive in the human world. I love the fact that Vlad is so human like. Nominate? Yes. 4Q 4P Melissa, 17

Mead, Richelle Vampire Academy Penguin: Razorbill 2007 - August

This book holds interest. the characters and story lines develope and become more distinguished as the book progresses. it was a fast read and easy to get into. Rose is a great protaganist and i hope to see her in more novels. Mead made sure that the crucial aspects of the story remained a mystery until the exact right moment. the twist at the end was also unexpected and helped explain even more about the characters. the ending left the series open of course without leaving me unsatisified.this novel definately rivals other great teen vampire novels such as twilight by stephenie meyer, especially in complexity.Nominate? Yes. 5Q 5P Lauren, 17

Brashares, Ann Forever In Blue: The Fourth Summer of the Sisterhood Delacorte Press 2007

Okay, so I've read all the books leading up to 'Forever in Blue', and I've liked them pretty well. I think they go in stages. The first one was amazing, the second one was okay, the third one was awesome, and then this one was, well, blech. The only story line that I actually enjoyed was Carmans. I LOVED Carmans. But everyone else is growing up and doing extreamly stupid things. Like after I read Bridget's section, I didn't even feel like she did anything. And after I read Lena's, I didn't even like her anymore. Lena was always my favorite, but she's losing her charm. She was always the modest Greek artist who wasn't gaga over every guy she saw. And Tibby, well, she's turned into a complete rebel. The ending to this book was kind of a let down. I was expecting a big finish, about how all the girls had bonded because of the pants, but no, it ends on a last minute trip to Greece. I think older readers might have connected with this book more than I did. But, all the same, I would recommend reading it for Carman's sake. (Hint: Skip the other parts and read only Carman's) So, overall, the series was alright. I really enjoyed 50% of the books, so I'd recommend the series, you just have to wait out the second book. And, if you don't want your opinions of the sisters to spoil, don't even read 'Forever in Blue'. The third one should have been the end of the series. Nominate? no. Q3 2P. Elle, 13

Cast, P. C. and Kristen Cast Marked St. Martin's Griffin May 2007

Marked has an amazing plot, but the story line has the problem of suddenly becoming boring. It's very interesting, until the focus ends up on the teenage problems as opposed to the vampyre problems. It kind of loses your interest for a while then suddenly picks it back up. LIke someone who fumbled a football and then picked it up, over and over again. Nominate? no. 3Q 3P. Kyla, 16
------- --------

if you like a good vampyres then you need to read tis book i liked it i don't know if you who is reading this will like it because it is all up to i also want to say i can't what to read the second book to come out. Nominate? yes. 5Q 5P. Kelly, 17

Dixon, Sean The Feathered Cloak Key Porter Books 2007

An epic tale of the last of the Vikings, with Norse legend added throughout the book.

I would like the book club's copy of this book. Nominate? yes. 4Q 4P. Andrea F. 14

George, Jessica Day Dragon Slippers

'Dragon Slippers' was an excellent fairy tale with a strong female lead. Creel has been given to a dragon, in hopes that a handsome young knight will come to rescue her and make her his bride. But, instead, she ends up with a pair of strange blue slippers. This book was filled with humer, wit, and pure fantasy that I think will be refreshing to all readers, no matter what there age. I loved the idea of Creel's ability to embroider, and the idea of dragons collecting a certain thing, especially the stained glass windows. Overall, this was an excellent book filled with everything a good story has- especially adventure and solid characters. Wonderful! Nominate? yes. 4Q 4P. Elle 13
----------- ---

Jessica Day George makes a charming debut into the world of YA fantasy with her novel DRAGON SLIPPERS. Set in the kingdom of Faravel, Creelisel Carlsbrun beings this witty book with the sentence : “It was my aunt's idea to give me to the dragon.”Naturally, things go downhill from there. However, Creel ends up getting herself mixed up with some princes, an evil princess, dragons of all sizes and colors, a horrid pink dress, a worse dress with satin roses on it, and an evil plot to take over the kingdom. DRAGON SLIPPERS is a book with a funny, witty, strong heroine who has a refreshing voice. George has created a character that will go in with the likes of Pierce's Sandry, Meyer's Bella, and Homer's Penelope as a lovable heroine. The story may seem to be cliche for a time here or there, but it twists itself into strange and exciting patterns. The ending leaves a little to be desired, but on the plus side it points to a sequel (I don't really know how she did it, because three pages before I was bemoaning that she had tied up all the looses ends and there would be no sequel).In closing, DRAGON SLIPPERS is an engenious debut novel that is classic fantasy at its best and most refreshing. Sure to be an instant hit with fans of Harry Potter, Eragon, and other such fantasy novels. I would like this book. Either a galley or hardcover copy, or the one with the rubber band around it because the spine is all sliced. Nominate? yes. 5Q 5P. Robbie, 17
------------- --------

I can’t believe that this is Jessica George’s first book! This burgeoning new author is full of promise, and with this amazing first novel I can only imagine what other great stories she will produce. Dragon Slippers is a hilarious book about a girl who was given to a dragon in hopes of catching a Prince to marry her, but instead receives an interesting pair of shoes and new friends on a fabulous adventure. This book is, so far, the best fantasy that I’ve read this year. The story reminds me of the style Ella Enchanted was written in, and while it’s not of quite the same caliber, it holds its own charm. The main character had a gook head planted firmly on her shoulders with a self determination that I found endearing. It was a fairy tale that proved that maidens can still be strong and get what they want without being in distress, a fact that I applaud. I look forward to more stories by Ms. George. I would suggest this book to anyone who likes a good fairy tale. Katherine, 18
-------------- ----------

This was a very fast paced book, but in these short pages, it said alot for the characters (who were varied in quality) and the ingenuity of the author who wrote it. The whole slippers thing was very creative and I for one loved all of the twists and turns that the plot took. Also, I thought the ending was very fitting and sort of the Happily Ever After thing that happens alot although I thought that it worked out GREAT!! Nominate? yes. 4Q 4P. Lewis, 13

During the trial he learns that the penalty is to serve a long form of detention in a juvenile school or to go live with his biological father ,whom he has rarely met , who runs a mountain climbing business in Thailand. What Peak does not realize is that he was rescued by his father, from certain doom of boredom, so he could take him up to be the youngest person on Mt. Everest. A very good story with a surprising twist ending ,Smith is able to keep the reader interested and hooked with the relationship between father and son and the adventure on the highest mountain in the world. Hazel 15
-------- -

I liked this book but it wasn’t something I would normally read. It was kind of dry and boring, but it was easy to get through.

Duey, Kathleen Skin Hunger 2007 - August

Duey, Kathleen Skin Hunger This book is definitely one of the best books I've read this year. I could not stop reading! I is interesting how she ended this book- closed this one off just enough to satisfy but sets it up for the next book too. There is plenty of mystery left in the book, again, to set it up for the next book. I loved the characters, especially Sadima, Franklin, and Gerrard. Nominate? yes. 5Q. 5P. Kara D., 13
________ ________

It's a very hard book to describe, but all I can say is that from the multitudes of trilogies that are floating around, this is one of my favorites. Not recommended for reluctant readers, as the story is very complex. I would like the book club's copy of this book. Nominate? yes 5Q 5P. Andrea F., 14
-------- ------

Skin Hunger looks a lot like a horror book, and the title doesn't suggest anything different. When I read it however, I got a startlingly different impression. Duey created startlingly vivid fantasy in Skin Hunger that many will enjoy.It is about two peole - Hahp, a child who is sent to a wizard academy, and Sadima, a farm girl who moves to live in a big city by the ocean. These two characters are in different times, and they both have problems in their lives. Hahp, after being sent to the academy, is allowed no food until he learns to make his own, and has to run through rocky caves in bare feet to survive. Sadima on the other hand is in love with a man who is acting with another on something very sinister. Nominate? yes 4Q 5P. Lewis, 14

A kind of geeky guy who says he's a demon pops up into her bathtub, and pretty much you can figure out the rest from there. Kenzie and the demon must join forces to defeat the powers of darkness, but can they succeed? Very hilarious, with a healthy addition of ordinary teenage angst and woes, I'm looking forward to the sequel already. I would like to the book club's copy of this book. Nominate? yes 4Q 4P.

Petrucha, Stefan Teen, INC. Walker August 2007

At first Chasing Yesterday reminded me of the television show Kyle XY, about a boy who couldn’t remember his past and was constantly haunted by disturbing dreams with amazing abilities and a habit of drawing a mysterious symbol quite like the one J.D. ( the main character of Chasing Yesterday) draws, and while the two stories have many parallels, Chasing Yesterday does turn out to be a different story. J.D., the abbreviation for Jane Doe, finds herself living with her “mother” who calls her Alexis, but J.D. doesn’t feel like she belongs in the world she is brought into, yet after visiting a psychologist, a man she recognizes from her disturbing dreams, she begins having bizarre memories of herself and her mother. This story was a great start to a promising new series. My only complaint is that the story finally got to an important part that started to gather momentum, and then it ends. I suspect that the first and second books could easily be combined, yet they weren’t, a big disappointment. Katherine 18
