Personal rating of 3 out of 5 stars
3 stars A good follow up to the first book. This one starts off right where the last one ended. I was glad to see new characters and situations in this one. It is a completely new adventure while continuing elements and themes found in the previous book. While there are some explanations of what…

3 stars Okay, let’s start by admitting that I have not read the first two books in this series. I actually didn’t realize it was a series. I got this from the library because a) I’m obsessed with fairy tales and the like,and b) I’m always looking for more poetry to read. So here we…

3 stars A story of shapeshifters, villains, and heroes. It’s up to the reader to decide who is who. I initially read this a few years ago and thought it was okay. With the release of the film, I was interested in revisiting it. I did like it better the second time. The film is…

Even when there wasn’t much happening, it was wonderful to watch Jess and Leslie’s friendship grow as they made the world of Terabithia together. However, that “terrible tragedy” that the back cover warned you…

3 stars This book has some good information on the basics of gender bias. It was written in the 90’s so some of the information is a bit out of date, but (sadly), most of it is still very relevant today. Crawford did a good job focusing on various topics such as issues for boys,…
