Teen Book Review - iBoy

iBoy by Kevin Brooks - YA SFF BRO

 This review is from Daanyal, age 12. Daanyal says that this book is science fiction.  He gave it an 8/10.  (Awesome!)  His favorite character was Lucy. He said "Well this book is meant for mature readers like in teens.  For me, it was great because of the action.  There are many pieces of language in this book not suitable for children." (That's some great advice Daanyal, thanks for letting us know!)  About the cover of the book he had this to say, "The cover did not have anything to do with the story." (Oh well!  Sometimes that happens.  Did you know that most of the time the author doesn't have any power over what goes on the cover of their book?  Most of the time it a decision made by the publisher of the book.) Daanyal said that he would not read more from this author.

Catherine gave it a 9.5/10 - Really expresses well the bond of sisters.

Lots of people are excited for this one...

hey YAs.  Did you know that Jodi Picoult wrote a book with her daughter, Samantha Van Leer?  Well now you do know that!  And it's coming out today.  And I have it.  So if you want it, come on by.  Here's the cover and what its about.  Oh and the link to the catalog of course so you can request it.

Between the Lines

Check the Catalog!

New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult and her teenage daughter present their first-ever novel for teens, filled with romance, adventure, and humor.

What happens when happily ever after…isn't?

Delilah is a bit of a loner who prefers spending her time in the school library with her head in a book--one book in particular. Between the Lines may be a fairy tale, but it feels real. Prince Oliver is brave, adventurous, and loving. He really speaks to Delilah.

And then one day Oliver actually speaks to her. Turns out, Oliver is more than a one-dimensional storybook prince. He's a restless teen who feels trapped by his literary existence and hates that his entire life is predetermined. He's sure there's more for him out there in the real world, and Delilah might just be his key to freedom.

Delilah and Oliver work together to attempt to get Oliver out of his book, a challenging task that forces them to examine their perceptions of fate, the world, and their places in it. And as their attraction to each other grows along the way, a romance blossoms that is anything but a fairy tale.

Movie Monday: Fallen

A lot of people love Lauren Kate's series, Fallen, and I have to say, I read the first book Fallen and I wasn't like, crazy about it.  I liked it, but I didn't go and read the rest of them, so I didn't like it that much.  But it's a cool one to make into a movie and Disney has purchased the rights to make all 4 movies.  That's about all the news I have it on it right now thou!

Suspected in the death of her boyfriend, seventeen-year-old Luce is sent to a Savannah, Georgia, reform school where she meets two intriguing boys and learns the truth about the strange shadows that have always haunted her.

Happy Birthday Dear...

Kathryn Lasky!  Happy birthday to you!

Twelve-year-old Julia knows that her physical deformity will keep her from a normal life, but counts on the continuing friendship of her life-long slave, Mitka, until they learn that both of their futures in first-century Pompeii are about to change for the worse.

In 1932 Berlin, thirteen-year-old Gaby Schramm witnesses the beginning of Hitler's rise to power, as soldiers become ubiquitous, her beloved literature teacher starts wearing a jewelled swastika pin, and the family's dear friend, Albert Einstein, leaves the country while Gaby's parents secretly bury his books and papers in their small yard.

Markus, it's your birthday!

Time to celebrate :)

Movie Monday: Uglies

I haven't read this book in so long!  I am for sure going to have to reread it cause I remember liking it a lot.  For some reason I never read the rest of the series too.  So yes, all that goes on my To-Read list.  Anyhoo...

The Book

Just before their sixteenth birthdays, when they will will be transformed into beauties whose only job is to have a great time, Tally's best friend runs away and Tally must find her and turn her in, or never become pretty at all.

20th Century Fox and producer John Davis (Eragon...shudder) bought the rights for the film and it may come out sometime this year.  It's supposed to...but not a lot of news on it so far.    So who do you think should play Tally?  How do you think people will look as uglies and as pretties?  Are you excited for this movie?

Happy Birthday Angela :)

Thank you for writing for us!

Bobby's carefree teenage life changes forever when he becomes a father and must care for his adored baby daughter.

Father's Day

It's Father's Day YAs!  Make sure you let your dad know how much he means to you today. 

Here are some teen books that involve fathers...

Sixteen-year-old Shelby finds it difficult to balance her mother's dying request to live a life without restraint with her father's plans for his "little princess," which include attending a traditional father-daughter dance that culminates with a ceremonial vow to live "whole, pure lives."

Eighteen-year-old Goth Sophie Blue, sensing that something is awry in her small town, begins to piece together the connections between her missing father, a scientific researcher at a local laboratory, and her high school's football star, Kenny.

French horn virtuoso Elsie Wyatt resents having to join her high school's marching band playing a melliphone, but finally finds a sense of belonging that transcends the pressure she has always felt to be as good as her father, principal french horn player in the Boston Symphony Orchestra.

When fourteen-year-old Everett Singh's scientist father is kidnapped from the streets of London, he leaves a mysterious app on Everett's computer giving him access to the Infundibulum--a map of parallel earths--which is being sought by technologically advanced dark powers that Everett must somehow elude while he tries to rescue his father.

Willa seems to have a perfect life as a member of a loving blended family until the estranged father she barely remembers murders his wife and children, then heads toward Willa and her mother.

Twenty years after the start of the war that caused the Collapse, fifteen-year-old Stephen, his father, and grandfather travel post-Collapse America scavenging, but when his grandfather dies and his father decides to risk everything to save the lives of two strangers, Stephen's life is turned upside down.

Who's birthday is it?

It's Deb Caletti's!

Flag Day

Hey YAs, today is Flag Day.  That means today is a day to celebrate our flag, that star spangled banner!

Did you know that there is a right way and a wrong way to display the flag?  Here are the rules for displaying our American Flag...

• The flag is normally flown from sunrise to sunset.
• In the morning, raise the flag briskly. At sunset, lower it slowly. Always, raise and lower it ceremoniously.
• The flag should not be flown at night without a light on it.
• The flag should not be flown in the rain or inclement weather.
• After a tragedy or death, the flag is flown at half staff for 30 days. It's  called "half staff" on land ,and "half mast" on a ship.
• When flown vertically on a pole, the stars and blue field , or "union", is at the top and at the end of the pole (away from your house).
• The American flag is always flown at the top of the pole. Your state flag and other flags fly below it.
• The union is always on top. When displayed in print, the stars and blue field are always on the left.
• Never let your flag touch the ground, never...period.
• Fold your flag when storing. Don't just stuff it in a drawer or box.
•  When your flag is old and has seen  better days, it is time to retire it. Old flags should be burned or buried. Please do not throw it in the trash. (You can bring your old flags to the Town Hall)

Bonus Fun Fact!  A person who studies flags is a Vexillologist.

Happy BDay Cathy!

It's Cathy Cassidy's birthday!

Eleven-year-old Indigo, her mother, and her toddler sister have to move out of their apartment because of troubles with Mum's boyfriend, while Indie is also having best friend problems at school, leaving her stressed, confused, and lonely.

Dizzy hasn't seen Storm since she walked out on her and her dad eight years ago, but here she is, a hippie-crunchy earth mother, come to celebrate Dizzy's twelfth birthday and to convince Dizzy's dad to let her come away for the summer. A dream is coming true right before Dizzy's eyes and as the memories start flooding back, Dizzy knows she wants to spend as much time with her mum as she can. So the two steal off before dawn into the wild world of communes, hippies, out-door festivals, dirty fingernails and fun!

After being expelled from yet another school in London, twelve-year-old Scarlett is sent by her exasperated mother to live with her father, stepmother, and stepsister in Ireland, where, with the help of a mysterious boy, she eventually overcomes her anger and resentment and feels part of a family again.

Movie (TV!) Monday: The Selection

Ok, so this week's Movie Monday isn't about a movie at all.  OH NO!  It is about a YA book that will be made into a TV SHOW!  YES!  I love Vampire Diaries and I am thrilled to see another book I like alot become a TV show.

The Selection only came out a few weeks ago (April, I think) but it was already being discussed as a TV show then.  Here's a bit about the book.

The Selection by Kiera Cass

Sixteen-year-old America Singer is living in the caste-divided nation of Illea, which formed after the war that destroyed the United States. America is chosen to compete in the Selection--a contest to see which girl can win the heart of Illea's prince--but all she really wants is a chance for a future with her secret love, Aspen, who is a caste below her.

Ok so this book is like The Hunger Games combined with The Bachelor!  And it's going to be a TV show.  I am really excited about this.  I read this book the day after it came out and I loved it.  I do think America is a lame name for the main character, but I liked alot of the other stuff in the book.  (I am totally on Team Maxon)  So anyway, this will be a TV show on the CW (same channel as VD!) THIS FALL!  

So let's see who's going to be in this show, alright?  The most important characters are America, Aspen, and Prince Maxon.

Character: America Singer

Actress: Aimee Teegarden

What you know her from: Prom, Scream 4, Friday Night Lights

Character: Aspen Leger

Actor: William Moseley

What you know him from: Chronicles of Narnia (Peter!)

Character: Prince Maxon

Actor: Ethan Peck

What you know him from: In Time, Sorcerer's Apprentice, 10 Things I Hate About You (tv show)

So have you read the book yet? (READ IT!)  What do you think of the casting?  I like America and Aspen alot, and though I think Ethan is a good personality fit for Maxon, I could have gone for a bit more of the hotness factor.
