Endwar
By: Tom Clancy
Reviewed by C.L. 12th Grade
**** I am glad I read it.
Endwar, by Tom Clancy (but really David Michaels), is large scale. A basic, realistic story of World War Three, the book is basically a showcase for the military technology that we can build, but do not have the money for. The book constantly switches viewpoints, with different views of assaults, defenses, dogfights, and kinetic strikes (think nuclear bomb, but no fire and radiation). A good book only ruined by a lack of resolution. |

The
Count of Monte Cristo
By
Alexandre Dumas
Reviewed by: M.P., 10th grade
***** Great! I would recommend it to my friends.
Don't let the "older" style of writing scare you
off! The Count of Monte Cristo is definitely a fun read.
It has everything; action, intrigue, conspiracy, romance,
angst, and a plot that keeps you coming back for more.

Stravaganza:
City of Stars
By Mary Hoffman
Reviewed by: Mrs. Christman, Staff
**** I am glad I read it.
Stravaganza: City of Stars by Mary Hoffman is a story of an
imaginary place with duchesses, dukes, fortune tellers, magic,
mystery and intrigue. This story is a sequel to the 2005-06
Black-Eyed Susan nominated book, Stravaganza: City of Masks.
In this story, Georgia is living between contemporary London
with her conniving step-brother, Russell and 16th century
Talia, where she is reunited with a former crush, Lucien (and
she thought he was dead!) Although the story drags in places,
I was captivated enough with the plot to forge on 'till the
end. Hoffman does a good job of showing the reader that things
are not always as we presume--sometimes bad people are not
always inherently evil & sometimes good deeds do not always
have happy endings. |

The
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
By Ann Brashares
Reviewed by: S.H., 9th Grade
***** Great! I would recommend it to my friends.
This book was awesome! I loved every part of from being
sad about Carmen's situation to hoping that Lena falls in
love with Kostos to Tibby and Bailey making a movie to Bridget
falling for her camp coach. I was a little disappointed
at the end, but overall it was a very nice book. And I am
saying all this without watching the movie yet, although
i plan on watching it this weekend.
