Book Review: There Are No Children Here

Book Review: Real Live Boyfriends
Reviewer: Aala B.
Is it a good book? Yes it was a very interesting book that was so funny and exciting you never wanted to put it down. I really enjoyed Ruby’s character and how she acts with the whole Noelle situation.
Would you recommend it? Yes I would. I would recommend it to really any girl, she’d laugh and smile and go with whatever emotion is happening in the story. It feels like you're actually there.
What did you dislike? Nothing, the book was absolutely amazing, it actually teaches you a lot too, about whom you date and how things should actually be.
Tell us your thoughts about the book. I thought it was a great book, and I truly enjoyed reading. I would definitely read another one of Emily’s books! They're Awesome! The way she tells the story it’s as if you actually there, waiting for the situation to just happen, and how she’s going to deal with it.

Book Review: Shaman King, volume 1
Book Review: 24 Girls in 7 Days
Reviewer: Vy T.
Is it a good book? This is a great book it’s all about this guy named Jack, he is alone, geeky, only seems to have two friends and he definitely doesn’t have a date to prom. His supposed best friends pull a whacked out prank on him by posting a personal ad in the online version of the school paper. Now there’s a list of girls-24 of them- Jack has to schedule dates with before the prom, which is just 7 days away.
Would you recommend it? Yes, 24 GIRLS IN 7 DAYS has everything: easy to read, funny and original. This book has great plot with a few unpredictable twists, plus an adorable self-deprecating main character.
What did you like about the book? I like this book a lot, especially how he dated 24 girls and each of them have a different personalities. And I love the part how he described his grandma always loses her glasses on top of her head. The ending of this story is very sweet, before the prom he was trying to ask this girl that he likes, but he was too nervous so it didn’t work out. Then he met all 24 girls that responded on his ad, but none of them fit his personalities, and one thing he didn’t noticed, that there were still one more respond from one mysterious person; which was the girl he likes.
What did you dislike? Nothing that I dislike about the book.
Tell us your thoughts about the book. It’s loaded with tons of humor, romance, and mystery. Despite the light tone, Jack reveals an appealing deep side. It all adds up to a fabulous.

Would you recommend it? Yes, if you like to read about sports and read about this guy who no one thought he would make it to the NFL.
What did you like about the book? Yes, because this guy who was Vietnamese was the first descent NFL player to ever play in the NFL.
What did you dislike? It would have been better if the book would talk about more NFL players instead of just one of them.
Tell us your thoughts about the book. It was shocking when I read that this guy named Dat Nguyen was the most descent Vietnamese player to be in the NFL because I would think that there would be more.

Book Review: Sphinx's Princess
The Reviewer: Rebecca C.
Is it a good book? YES! The way that Esther Friesner takes world history and turns historical figures into books are magnificant. She can word phrases that can make a reader want to learn more about the historical figure or figurine in this book’s case. It is about a young lady who takes her own life into her own hands and won’t let anyone tell her other wise, not what to do; not what to say; what not be part of; and not who she is supposed to marry not even if it means punishment. She stands up for what she believes in.
Would you recommend it? Yes, I would recommend it to anyone that has read Nobody’s Princess and Nobody’s Prize. One can understand the feelings that the book characters feel. It is amazing.
What did you like about the book? I liked how Nefertiti has her own way of doing things, and is not willing to be obedient to anyone’s rules except her own. It makes the connection between me and the reader because as Nefertiti is stubborn with not being bossed around neither am I. I have that stubborn nature that makes me want to do things my own way and no one elses.
What did you dislike? There was not much to dislike about the book itself. I did not like the Queen or her eldest son, they were both a little to snobby and to demanding for a future husband and future mother-in-law. But I can understand why they were depicted as so for the story line.
Tell us your thoughts about the book. My thoughts are a painting of what Esther Freisner wrote in her book. Her words flow off the pages and from those words they form paintings and pictures in my mind to allow me to see and understand where and when the book was taking place. I enjoyed the book very much and I would read it over and over again. It is a book beloved by those who are interested in love and Romance. It ends perfectly so that the next book in the series, Sphnix’s Queen can wrap up what is told in the Sphinx’s Princess.

Book Review: Exposure
The Reviewer: Alexis T. (1B)
Is it a good book? I thought that the book was a very good book. It was about a girl that had always been made fun of, but this bully eventually had gotten revenge.
Would you recommend it? I recommend this book to everyone because it is very interesting and I think that a lot of people would like it.
What did you like about the book? I liked how the young girl had got revenge in the story like she always had wanted but at the end the story turned out fine. For example, the main character had found embarrassing pictures of the bully and was showing it to everyone to get revenge because she always makes fun of her.
What did you dislike? I didn’t like how the bully had still been making fun of her and was mean to her calling her names even when the main character had helped her out.
Tell us your thoughts about the book. My thoughts about the book were that it was an excellent book and I think that if other people would read it than they would really like it.
Book Review: Perfect You
Book Review: Everything Beautiful in the World
The Reviewer: Portecia R.
Is it a good book? Yes! Lisa Levchuk is a good writer. She is a great story teller. She makes you feel like you are in the story I just could wait to turn the page I read it so fast that I wanted to read it over and over again.
Would you recommend it? Yes! But only if you like things with teachers and students having an affair then you should read this. The book is not only dealing with the affair it’s a lot of life things that have to do with this story. Like Edna the girl that’s in the story her mother is going through cancer and she don’t know how to deal with it so this is her way of dealing with it is have an affair with one of her teachers.
What did you like about the book? Every part that had Mr. Howland In it, Mr. Howland is the man that is having an affair with Edna; meanwhile she has her eye on another teacher.
What did you dislike? All the parts of her going home talking about her life and how she hates it, that’s the boring stuff. Let’s gets back to the affair.
Tell us your thoughts about the book. The book was good. If I were you I would read it, it just doesn’t t tell you a story but it tells you about how people are in the real world well how some teachers in school are.
Book Review: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
What did you like about the book? I loved everything from the beginning to the end of the book every part was put exactly right, if I could I wouldn’t change a thing the book to me was just a great book all around, like when C.S Lewis describes something he gets his point across.
Tell us your thoughts about the book. I’m happy that I’ve only read the first book and not all because I’m looking forward to the rest of the books
