Time Windows by Kathryn Reiss |
Review by Faith Emmett
The book Time Windows is about a 13 year old girl named Miranda who moves from the big city of New York to the small town of Garrett, Massachusetts. When she moves into her new house she realizes that is very old and creaky and her mother tells her no one has lived in it since 1940 when there was a fire in the attic. Then one day, while she was investigating the house she sees a door she has not yet opened. She discovers it is the attic so she heads up into it and discovers a doll house. As she looks at this doll house she realizes it plays scenes from the broken families that lived in the house before her. She soon realizes this house is evil and any woman that steps foot in it becomes possessed with the houses evil. Miranda discovers that she is the one that has to break this curse, but to do so she must enter one of the doll houses most dangerous scenes.
P.S. If you read this DON`T SKIP the first few pages before the first chapter. They’ll make sense when you finish the book. If you do you’ll regret it.

Wildwood Dancing by Juliet Marillier |
Review by Patricia Everett
Five girls find a secret passageway in their home, every full moon the passage opens to reveal a staircase. The staircase leads to the Wash, a place forbidden by parents everywhere; they cross the lake in boats and end up in the Wildwood. The wildwood is transformed during a full moon, it’s full of people/creatures dancing and having a good time. There’s only a few rules you have to follow, don’t eat the food and don’t spend the night or you’ll get stuck in the Wildwood forever. Everything’s going the same as usual but then one full moon the Night people come to visit and everything is turned upside down. The Night people are the exact opposite of the Wildwood people, dark and withheld. What will the sisters do when it looks like the Night people will never leave? And how does it affect the ‘mortals’ whom the Night people hunt. |

Invisible by Pete Hautman |
Review by Aniza Aguirre
This book is about a boy named Doug who is pretty much, as the title states, Invisible. His best friend is Andy Morrison, the typical popular guy. Being boys they like to play with fire, eat a ton, and just hang out. This story is not all about their friendship though. Doug is really into his absolutely perfect bridge model that he built purely out of matches. It isn’t just any bridge, literally everything has to be perfect and this is all he ever talks or writes about in school. He also has a sigil (a symbol) with his and Andy’s initials that his art teacher wants him to improve; it seems that nothing he ever does is good enough for neither his teachers nor his parents. No matter what anyone says Andy and Doug are best friends forever. |
Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold |
Review by Taylor Rickel
Lovely Bones is one of the best books I have ever read. In the beginning of the book she starts with the end, by stating right away she is dead. This book is very heartwarming, full of love, hate, and addiction to murder. Lovely Bones was in first person, spoken by the main character Susie. She told the story in different tenses. She explains how she was murdered right away, yet she did space it out a bit in each chapter. Throughout about the eight years of her being dead she watches her family, friends, true love, and even her killer live threw the best and the worst. She paints us a picture about what is happening to her and the others. She switches from present, past, and future. The book can be confusing in the middle, but by the ending it all comes to make sense. You will never expect what will happen next in the book. It is a suspense building jaw dropping book! Readers discretion is advised

The Name of This Book Is Secret by Pseudonymous Bosch |
Review by Maddi Edwards
This is a book about a magician that dies and now one knows how it happened. These 2 kids find bunches of clues in this guys house and come to find out that he was murdered…but how well they come across these clues that lead them closer and closer to the person who murdered him and along they way they get into some big trouble and find out that he wasn’t the only person kidnapped and killed by this mysterious murderer. This book is very weird when put together, it tells you no information about the setting of the characters so pretty much it is a mysteries inside of a mysteries. I really enjoyed this book because I was also you that had to solve the mysteries the two kids were faced with. |
