More Reviews

Here are some reviews from our Teen Summer Reading Game:

Erica Noreika gave an "Excellent" rating to Cecily von Ziegesar's Gossip Girl and updates us on the story: S is back from boarding school, Nate is slipping from Blair's grasp, and Chuck has a new victim?

Erica gave a "Good" rating to Give a Boy a Gun by Todd Strasser and tells the plot: Brendan and Gary were always being teased so they steal a small arsenal of guns from a neighbor and take their classmates hostage at the school dance.

The Last Vampire by Christopher Pike received a "Very Good" rating from Erica: Alisa Deme is a 5,000-year-old vampire. For ages she has hunted humanity, but now someone hunts her...perhaps another vampire? Alisa is not sure...she thought she was the last of her kind!

Jamie Spock gave a "Very Good" rating to In Mozart's Shadow by Carolyn Meyer: "Nannerl" Mozart's story: her struggle for her father's affections and her desire to have a music career.
