"This account of how quickly an average teen can be thrust into a world of drugs was a real eye opener. As a parent, it’s easy to think “not my child” and I am sure Kristina felt that way about herself before “Bree” took over. The way this book is written, in verse, creates a powerfully dramatic narrative. Although this may be a quick read, a story within a story is discovered by reading down the columns. I would recommend this book to every teen and parent."

"James Patterson is known for his mysteries such as the Cross series and the Women’s murder club. “Sundays at Tiffany’s” is a love story resembling the likes of Nicholas Sparks, a love which knows no boundaries and can withstand the test of time. This novel surpasses “Sam's Letters to Jennifer” and comes in a close second behind “Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas”. "

"No book has inspired me or change my outlook on life more than "Critical Choices That Change Lives". This is a great book for teenagers, too. It helps them to realize how the choices they make affects not only their lives but so many others and why the "decision behind the decision" is the most important decision they will ever make. It also explains the three critical choices that turn ordinary people into heroes. This is a must read for anyone facing obstacles or difficult "

"“A Great and Terrible Beauty” may have been written as a novel for teens; however, the historical setting, mystery, fantasy, and touch of romance are just as appealing for adults. Libba Bray masterfully explains the trials and tribulations for women in the Victorian era and relates the characters to modern life. "

"“No, everyone has to knit when they’re here. I promise you. But not every person has to use yarn.” This favorite sentence from “The Friday Night Knitting Club” is the essence of what this story is about. Six very diverse women become unlikely friends as their lives begin to unravel faster than the sweater pattern they attempt to knit during their Friday night meetings. Bonds form, secrets are shared, and hearts are exposed as these women get to know each other as well as themselves. Knowledge of knitting is not a requirement for this story of strength and friendship. "

" When I think of Stephen King, I think horror and sleepless nights. Imagine my surprise to discover his latest novel is actually a memoir – not that of the masterful storyteller, but of a simple Minnesota construction worker who is, shall we say, a little down on his luck. Okay, maybe it’s not a true story, but I feel so connected to the characters, they must exist somewhere. Edgar Freemantle, or “Eddie” as I now think of him, lost his right arm in a construction accident and his marriage ends. Instead of giving up on life as he originally intended, he takes his psychologist’s advice of a “geographic cure” and rents a house on Duma Key off the Florida Coast. "

"This is one of the most fantastically imaginative books I have read in a long time. I was completely hooked after the prologue unveiled “Alice’s Adventures Underground” by Lewis Carroll and the devastation this caused the real Alyss. Frank Beddor has done a remarkable job weaving this “true” version of Wonderland through the beloved fairy tale. "

"This is a love story like no other - not a romantic love, but the love between two unlikely friends. Beautifully written "

"After reading the first chapter of "The Almost Moon" I thought there was no way I was going to be able to finish this book. How can I possibly connect with a character who murders her mother in the very first sentence? Boy, was I wrong! I read a few reviews where the reviewer states they couldn't even finish the book. Finish it! It will be worth your time. By the end I felt Helen’s pain and was able to empathize with her. Alice Sebold does an amazing job of bringing the characters to life. No, this is not an easy read. The subject matter is difficult and controversial, but if you are looking for a deep thought provoking read, this is it. "

"Brilliant! The only book in recent memory which has me anxiously awaiting the death of the main character. It still has me thinking long after the last page was turned. "

"What a perfect learning tool for parents and teachers! I was shocked at how much is expected in Kindergarten, but everything your child will learn is outlined in this colorful and fun book. Kids can practice the alphabet, shapes, colors, counting and so much more using this kid friendly book with a dry erase marker. "Let's Get Ready For First Grade" will prepare them for the next year. "

"I read the first in the series simply because it was written by a local author. I was pleasantly surprised by the entertaining story line and believable characters. By the end I was anxiously awaiting the sequel, which is fantastic! Plenty of action and romance to keep the pages turning late into the night. "
