Dystopia at its best. These kids must at least TRY to get out of Ember before the food and power completely run out. But how to get out of a city that is heavily guarded when you don't quite know where you're going, and your baby sister has torn up the directions for getting outta there!Almost 11 years agombarrager added a book review.
THis book taught me how to be a better person. Auggie is the anti-hero who we all fall madly in love with! Our class read this book and I am not shy to say that I cried in front of them a few times. At first you feel desparately sorry for Auggie, but in the end you feel more sorry for anyone who cannot see the power of love and friendship.Almost 11 years agombarrager added a book review.

The Apothecary is a slightly more down-to-earth Harry Potter fantasy book. I loved the overlay of British vocabulary and themes from ancient apothecary medicine. The lead character is a girl who develops feelings for a boy at the same time she is trying to save the world with him. It's naturally quite complicated : )Almost 11 years agombarrager added a book review.
I'm impressed by Caroline Lawrence's ability to cut to the quick in this book. She treats adult themes in such a way that kids feel they are a part of the history they are reading. P.K. is a boy with Aspberger's who gets more adventure out of one day in a Western town than most of us would incur in ten years of travel. The book is exciting, page-turning, chilling, and quite amusing.Almost 11 years ago
