Kids Books - Young

This book is AMAZING! It is sad but good at the same time. I recommend it to kids ages 11and up

If you're a girl and you need some help or just something to read for fun, this is the book for you. Tips on everything from self-confidence to makeup tips!

awesome,my favorite pokemon is in this book

i like the book it is good so far and for all the people out there that want to read this book go ahead it is awesome but i only recommend the book to kids 11 and up because it is mainly about romance

I liked this book better than the Scarlett series, it is scary yet a love story. With devils, angels and best friends and everything else you can think of.

So great! I so cant wait until i get the next books.

I thought that this would be a funny book when I saw the cover that talked about beauty queens stranded in a plane crash on a desert island. It was not as superficial as I thought though, there were lots of informative and empowering parts about feminism and stuff. I would recommend this to any of my friends who are juniors or seniors in high school.

I read this book because my friend gave it to me. I also read the real novel and I am currentley reading the seris. I really like the action and suspense in this story

I really enjoyed this one! It wasn't exactly what I was anticipating but it was still good in it's own right. I would definitely classify it more as a Middle Grade novel than an Young Adult one, but I still thoroughly enjoyed my reading of it. I was put off a bit by some of the phrasing of things and the fact that this was basically one long letter but I wasn't sure who it was addressed to or if I was supposed to be someone in Melia's life. I thought that there was a good mix of believable good things that came out of this and some things that were almost too good to be true. And while it works in some novels, I found that this one could have used with more of the down and out sort of feeling rather than the happily ever afters. There were definitely some things that went wrong, but it felt like it went up and up and the real issues that could have set them back didn't really do so. And I feel like that made me feel a bit cheated for the story. I did really like all the characters though. I thought Melia was really strong and tough and while she sounded older than 14, I could believe it through context and timing. I feel as though with historical fiction, you can get away with how your MC sounds and acts because of context and this was definitely one of those instances. I think she was really brave and did anything and everything she could to survive and keep her family together. I liked that she was really innovative but also still a child and allowed to be a child in this story. I think the family was really well constructed. I liked that everyone had their role but they were also really dependent on one another. I think there was a lot of pressure for Melia to be the leader but she defected when she had to because it was the right thing to do. I really liked this one. I thought it felt like the time period, had a really strong main character, and enough hope to mix with the sad parts that I found myself smiling as much as I did crying. Overall a well rounded novel with a great message that no matter what life throws at you, you are stronger than it.

OMG I HAVE TO READ THIS BOOK!!!!! IT IS BY MY FAVE AUTHOUR AND IT SOUNDS SO INTRESTING!!!!
