Furthermore

Furthermore

By Tahereh Mafi

asl

Alice Alexis Queensmeadow is born with no color — hair, and skin as white as milk, only a touch of honey in her eyes. This might not be so significant had she not been born into a world where color is everything. In Tahereh Mafi’s “Furthermore,” the land of Fernwood is drenched in color, which its colorful citizens use like currency, right along with magic. Poor, colorless Alice is looked down upon and underestimated because of her pallor. Her father, the one person who believes in her, has mysteriously disappeared, having taken with him only a ruler, and leaving Alice with a grief-stricken mother who does not care for her or seems to love her. Alice determines to win the “Surrender,” a test in which the 12-year-old children of Fernwood perform special bits of magic. All who pass are given tasks to complete, matched to their magical abilities. But not only has she not declared the winner, but Alice also fails the test entirely. Despairing, and with few other options, she embarks on a journey to find her father. Luckily — for her, and for this book’s readers — she discovers Furthermore, a place so full of enchanting beauty and topsy-turvy adventure, it even calls to mind Wonderland and Oz. As she sets out on her quest, Alice teams up with Oliver Newbanks, a boy she despises for his rudeness and deceitful nature. But he claims he knows where her father is — and as it turns out, Oliver has been assigned the task of finding him, but needs Alice’s help in order to succeed. It’s Oliver who leads her to Furthermore, where the rules change at every turn and some citizens eat outsiders (yes, as in cannibalism) in order to absorb their magic. Together they travel through various lands of Furthermore — Slumber, Still and the land of Left (which hasn’t had a visitor for 56 years, the land of Right being the more often preferred). Alice struggles to survive, without much thanks to Oliver, who holds his knowledge of Furthermore over Alice’s head, doling it out in bits and pieces only when backed into a corner. There are adventure and danger at every turn, upside-down rules, and twisted logic, but Alice perseveres for the love of her father. In the end, her inner journeys — of self-acceptance and of her developing friendship with Oliver — prove every bit as complex and difficult as the trip through Furthermore.

The Fever Code: Book Five; Prequel (The Maze Runner Series)

The Fever Code: Book Five; Prequel (The Maze Runner Series)

By James Dashner

Yet another marvelous book by author James Dashner! This story takes place after The Kill Order. It tells of Thomas’s life before the Maze, and about his friends. You learn their backgrounds, and there are some very surprising twists in here! The end makes me upset, because someone betrays Thomas, or maybe 2 people betray him, I’m not exactly sure. But in The Death Cure, the very same person/people save Thomas! Anyways, this was an amazing book that is sure to satisfy your Maze Runner questions! Enjoy!

A Summer to Die

A Summer to Die

By Lois Lowry

Papaya

This book captures the sweet rounded feel of summer, along with the sibling rivalry that is hidden beneath all sibling relationships. It captures the harrowing feeling of loss, and the echoes left behind from Molly. It speaks of how much a life can be changed by a simple move, a loss, in a short amount of time. Meg learns what it means to be beautiful. I certainly recommend.

The Crooked Banister (Nancy Drew Mystery Stories, No. 48)

The Crooked Banister (Nancy Drew Mystery Stories, No. 48)

By Carolyn Keene

I did enjoy this book. However, I feel that I would have enjoyed it more if I had not read other Nancy Drew books previously. The format of the Nancy Drew books are all very similar. There is always more than one mystery that she solves, and despite the fact they don't seem alike at all they always have to do with eachother. Despite this, the substance of each mystery is very different from book to book, and even the same mysteries in one book seem pretty different. Nancy tries to locate the owner of a large house that contains spooky paintings, a creepy robot, and is very crooked. If you want to understand why.. . read the book!

Pandemonium (Delirium Trilogy)

Pandemonium (Delirium Trilogy)

By Lauren Oliver

Absolutely magnificent. Lena's spellbinding adventure continues in the second book of the Delirium Trilogy. Without food, without water, and most importantly with her love Alex, Lena staggers through the Wilds, indiscriminately choosing trees and shelter to sleep. For days, she has ventured through the tangled woods. She would give up if her final promise hadn't been to Alex that she would run. So when Lena is found and taken care of by an Invalid named Raven, she can't tell if she is thankful, cautious, or angry. The rest of the story alternates between Lena's gradual recovery in the Wilds and her mission years later back in Portland, with a fake identity. And when Lena meets Julian Fineman, the face of the Deliria-Free America association, when they're captured by Scavengers, her life will be forever changed. In all truth, the first book was okay, but this one was positively magnificent by all standards. Compelling, intriguing, suspenseful, and ending with a cliffhanger, "Pandemonium" kept me up all night just thinking about what would happen in the final installment.
