You Are Here

You Are Here

By Jennifer E. Smith

I am reading the book “You Are Here” By Jennifer e. Smith This book is about a young adult named Emma. One day she was looking through her attic and going through boxes, and boxes. At the very bottom of one of the boxes were birth certificates of her brothers Patrick, and Nate, and her sister Annie. Under hers was another certificate which had the same birthday as Emma. Just after that she realized that it was her twin brother Thomas, who had died just two days after they were born. Emma had no idea that she had a twin. Emma didn’t know if she should ask her parents if it was true. In chapter two a new character is introduced, and his name is Peter. At this point I don’t know if Peter knows Emma. I do know that he has an obsession with all types of maps. He lives in New Jersey and the only place he has visited is New York City. Peter has always had a passion for travelling. I would recommend this book to older kids because there are a lot of challenging words, and could be hard to understand.

The Cardturner

The Cardturner

By Louis Sachar

Alton is an awkward teen that had loose his girlfriend to his best friend. His family relationship is very complicated, his dad just got fired by his company, he has a smart 11 year old sister, and a nosy mom. His blind, wealthy Uncle Lester needed a card turner for playing bridge. It is Alton's perfect opportunity to get his family mentioned to his Uncle's will and also get a job as his "card turner". While Alton had to also compete against the young but possibly insane Toni Castaneda, another young relative, he got attracted by her humorous but crazy personality. Since this book is most likely talking about Bridge games, I wasn't sure if I understand it at first. However, by the end of the story, I felt like Louis Sachar is explaining something else through these Bridge games, so it doesn't really matter. I felt like this book relates to me somehow because it seemed like it is written in my siblings' view since I'm also about the same age as Leslie, Alton's sister. My favorite character in this book is Toni, because I felt like even though she is possibly insane, she is unique in her own way. I think that this book is an inspiration to many people. After reading this book, I learn that Bridge bridges the gap between the young and old,between our great desires and the chaos of the universe. A game of bridge can teach such a huge lesson. You don't know you've been cut in half until you try to walk away.

Sword of the Rightful King: A Novel of King Arthur

Sword of the Rightful King: A Novel of King Arthur

By Jane Yolen

Sword of the Rightful King was a well-woven, SPELL-binding, Arthurian tale; from the first chapter to the last, especially the first chapter, which immediately captures your interest. The whole book overall has a good rhythm and doesn't slow down midway through the book; instead it speeds up. The finishing chapters make you question everything you just read and then you think "how could I have missed THAT?" Full of plot twists and mystery. I love how it switches perspectives, and even though you think you know a character, you really only know as much as the other characters, which gives you the sense that you are IN the story and it is unfolding all around you. Ms. Yolen also pays great attention to the smallest details of the storyline, which I makes me enjoy the story all the more. I can smell the blood on the ground, hear the baying of the dying brachet, and feel the sword in my hand. The only thing I regret about reading this is that I am now hooked and there is no sequel. I suggest to ages 11 and up, as there is some mild language, but in all, it was "an old story but a good one."
