<p style="padding-left: 60px;"><strong>Title:</strong> Hex Hall<br />
<strong>Author:</strong> Rachel Hawkins<br />
<strong>Format:</strong> Kindle ebook<br />
<strong>Page Count:</strong> 336 pages (Hardback)<br />
<strong>Grade Reading Level:</strong> Grade 8+</p>
<p><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?lt1=_blank&#038;bc1=FFFFFF&#038;IS2=1&#038;npa=1&#038;bg1=FFFFFF&#038;fc1=000000&#038;lc1=0000FF&#038;t=yarr-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as1&#038;m=amazon&#038;f=ifr&#038;md=10FE9736YVPPT7A0FBG2&#038;asins=1423121309" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" align="right"></iframe><strong>Summary: </strong>Sophie has known for a couple of years that she’s a witch. She loves the way magic feels tingling up from her soles to her fingertips. It’s a rush. Unfortunately for Sophie a love spell gone horribly wrong gets her sentenced to Hecate (affectionately Hex Hall) the reform school for irresponsible Prodigium (witches, faeries, and shapeshifters). There she meets 3 beautiful mean Dark Witches who want her to join their coven, makes friends with the school pariah, makes enemies of the Vandy, and crushes on the most popular if annoying boy in the whole school all the while dark and scary things are taking place up in the girl’s dormitory.</p>
<h3>Why I started this book:</h3>
<p>Read the summary – it looked cute. I’ve also seen the title around a lot in the YA blogosphere.</p>
<h3>Likes:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Hawkins      is absolutely hysterical. In my Kindle version I must have highlighted      three or four phrases and considered doing so to another six. I especially      liked: “I don’t need eyes to see you. I see you with the eyes of my heart!      Felicia! My heart!” (That’s just remembering though I think it’s pretty      accurate.)</li>
<li>Sophie      Mercer is a huge dork and the source of most of the humor in the story as      it’s told in first person. She’s great and her sarcastic and witty barbs      will leave you in stitches.</li>
<li>Archer      Cross is a yummy hero. Of course he’s the popular unattainable guy who is      dating Elodie who is out to get Sophie, but hey you can only fault his      taste in women not the guy himself. There’s definitely more to him than      what meets the eye and that includes the big shocker at the end.</li>
<li>Jenna the      15 year old vampire girl who loves pink.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Dislikes:</h3>
<ul>
<li>It was      done so cutely it’s hard to really put this as a dislike, but Sophie is a      potty mouth and cursed a lot.</li>
<li>Classes      weren’t done in any real detail except the first Defense class.</li>
<li>Of the      3 Dark Witch popular girls only Elodie was truly fleshed out. I thought      some of the faeries were crueler and could have been used to create more      drama.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Favorite Quote:</strong> “I don’t need eyes to see you! I see you with the eyes of my heart, Felicia! My HEART!”</p>
<p><strong>Last Minute Thoughts:</strong> Looking forward to book two, which is maybe, possibly, titled <em>Demonglass</em>. It's hard to tell the author's blog is a little disorganized and a quick look at her website code doesn't open some of the links.</p>

<p style="padding-left: 60px;"><strong>Title:</strong> Academy 7<br />
<strong>Author:</strong> Anne Osterlund<br />
<strong>Format:</strong> Trade Paperback<br />
<strong>Page Count:</strong> 259<br />
<strong>Grade Reading Level:</strong> Grade 8 +</p>
<p><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?lt1=_blank&#038;bc1=FFFFFF&#038;IS2=1&#038;npa=1&#038;bg1=FFFFFF&#038;fc1=000000&#038;lc1=0000FF&#038;t=yarr-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as1&#038;m=amazon&#038;f=ifr&#038;asins=0142414379" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" align="right"></iframe><strong>Summary: </strong><em>Academy 7</em> is like <em>Star Wars</em> meets <em>Harry Potter.</em> Two kids, Aerin and Dane, must overcome great odds to attend and survive their first year in the universe’s most prestigious school. Aerin must hide her true background, that of a fugitive slave from an X-Level planet. Dane must outwit his father, one of the Alliance's most powerful leaders, who loathes him and favors his elder brother. Both are excellent students and compete for top grade in every class. Trickery abounds and their only hope is to navigate it together.</p>
<h3>Why I started this book:</h3>
<p>I bought <em>Academy 7</em> for something to read on a road trip.</p>
<h3>Likes:</h3>
<ul>
<li>The      world-building is swift, complete, and extremely interesting. It’s fun to      see that in a world so advanced there’s still budget problems which result      in a crumbling school that still manages to keep and maintain advance      computers. I can’t wait to see how certain factors play out.</li>
<li>Aerin      is a strong female character. She excels at computers and fighting,      attributes rarely given to heroines. She’s also fragile, constantly      worried about exposure. She comes to realize she knows almost nothing      about her parents and with Dane’s help is determined to unlock the secret.</li>
<li>Dane      is the typical cocky good-looking rich and popular boy. His life however      isn’t as pretty as it seems. His father hates him and he’s not entirely      sure why. The only planet he has called home until school, isn’t a place      he can ever return to—not if he wants to live to see another day.</li>
<li>I      loved the fighting classes. Aerin whipping Dane over and over again is      really quite fun. I also like that Dane isn’t so insecure about it. He      actually proposes a deal to help her learn Alliance history in exchange      for more beat downs (training to be a better fighter).</li>
</ul>
<h3>Dislikes:</h3>
<ul>
<li>I      think the mean girl of the school was dropped a little too soon. I don’t      know who is going to take her place and cause friction in the future.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Last Minute Thoughts:</strong> Academy 7 is the possible start of a trilogy (woohoo!), but the author has admitted it takes her a lot of time to write her stories and currently she is working on a sequel to another story. I hope she finishes it soon because I want to know what happens next for Aerin and Dane.</p>

<p style="padding-left: 60px;"><strong>Title:</strong> Knightley Academy<br />
<strong>Author:</strong> Violet Haberdasher (aka Robyn Schneider)<br />
<strong>Format:</strong> Hardback<br />
<strong>Page Count:</strong> 469<br />
<strong>Grade Reading Level:</strong> Ages 9-12</p>
<p><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?lt1=_blank&#038;bc1=FFFFFF&#038;IS2=1&#038;npa=1&#038;bg1=FFFFFF&#038;fc1=000000&#038;lc1=0000FF&#038;t=loveromapass-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as1&#038;m=amazon&#038;f=ifr&#038;md=10FE9736YVPPT7A0FBG2&#038;asins=1416991433" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" align="right"></iframe><strong>Summary:</strong> The Midsummer School for Boys is cursed. Not a single student has been accepted to Knightley Academy in years… and this year is no different as a servant boy is the one called to knighthood.</p>
<p><em>Knightley Academy</em> explores social and national prejudices. The world has overtones of racism, classism, religious intolerance, and more. The world is stable for now but is on the cusp of change and I have a feeling Henry and his friends will be that change.</p>
<h3>Why I started this book:</h3>
<p>I came by this book in a completely random fashion. I saw this huge fat spine on the new YA releases bookshelves at the library while searching for something for my sisters. Picked it up, read the cover, said to self – sounds like Harry Potter without magic! Checked out. Consumed.</p>
<h3>Likes:</h3>
<ul>
<li>The      quartet: Henry Grim (first commoner ever allowed training to become a      knight), Frankie Winter (a finishing school dropout), Roham Mehta (an      Indian boy adopted into a wealthy ducal family), and Adam Beckerman (a      Jewish boy skilled with a foil.)</li>
<li>Lord      Havelock, the military professor and head teacher for the first years. He      reminds me of Snape, but far more fair and willing to own his errors. I      particularly enjoy his Havelook of Doom +2.*</li>
<li>The      Victorian England Steampunk world filled with the odd combination of      progress and backwardness.</li>
<li>Valmont:      he’s a bully but he’s not a complete ninnyhead.</li>
<li>Knight      classes! Military History is just the beginning --- one of my favorite      classes next to Fencing and Languages.</li>
<li>The      Inter-School Competition and Henry’s discovery of a super secret hidden      room that spells out T-R-O-U-B-L-E and gives the trilogy its long plot arc.</li>
</ul>
<p>(* Doom +2 is a card in the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1556344732?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=yarr-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;creativeASIN=1556344732">Munchkin</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=yarr-20&#038;l=as2&#038;o=1&#038;a=1556344732" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /> card game.)</p>
<p><strong>Last Minute Thoughts: </strong>If you’ve read Harry Potter and liked it, you will like this novel. The books have parallels but they are not the same story. Haberdasher will surprise you with her twists and turns. This is a perfect story for boys, but girls will like it just as much!</p>

<p style="padding-left: 60px;"><strong>Title:</strong> The Unwritten Rule<br />
<strong> Author:</strong> Elizabeth Scott<br />
<strong> Format:</strong> Hardback<br />
<strong> Page Count:</strong> 210<br />
<strong> Grade Reading Level: </strong>9<sup>th</sup> Grade +</p>
<p><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?lt1=_blank&#038;bc1=FFFFFF&#038;IS2=1&#038;npa=1&#038;bg1=FFFFFF&#038;fc1=000000&#038;lc1=0000FF&#038;t=yarr-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as1&#038;m=amazon&#038;f=ifr&#038;md=10FE9736YVPPT7A0FBG2&#038;asins=1416978917" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" align="right"></iframe><strong>Summary: </strong>All girls grow up knowing the unwritten rule. That you don’t date your friend’s exes is pretty much a given… but what about wanting to be with the guy while your friend is still dating him?</p>
<h3>Why I started this book:</h3>
<p>Saw some hype of it in the YA blogosphere a few months or so ago, sadly I can’t remember which blog anymore as I got the book from the library only very recently.</p>
<h3>Likes:</h3>
<ul>
<li>The      protagonist’s parents had evidence of a real life. The mother was involved      in cooking and culinary contests. The father was a professor. They also      were good parents and were still together and happy to be that way.</li>
<li>Ryan      had wanted to break off his relationship to the friend from practically      the beginning. In fact he was unwittingly roped into the relationship and      was too shy and good mannered to break it off.</li>
<li>Sarah’s      voice was sweet and heartbreaking as she worried about her friendship, her      parents, and her friend’s boyfriend.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Dislikes:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Brianna      hates her mom but is exactly like her mom. She belittles Sarah under the      guise of kindness. She cheats on Ryan and yet insists she loves him and wants      to stay with him.</li>
<li>The      fact that Brianna cheated does in no way excuse or really justify Sarah’s      and Ryan’s behavior. Cheating is never the answer. However while I don’t      condone such behavior in real life I was very much rooting for the two.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Final Thoughts:</strong> Greg and Brianna deserve each other and Elizabeth Scott does a great job exploring one of life’s social dating rules.</p>

Need I say more? Yum!</p>
<h3>Why I started reading this book:</h3>
<p>It’s being made into a movie. See trailer:</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="468" height="385" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Neo6W1f7hyY&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="468" height="385" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Neo6W1f7hyY&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<h3>Likes:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Getting      the Beast’s POV. It shows his progression from a pretty but petty      vindictive and mean boy to an ugly but mature reflective and kind boy. We      also read his rage and despair at the unfairness of his new situation.</li>
<li>Kyle      changing his name to Adrian to represent his new persona.</li>
<li>The      line, “Kyle Kingsbury, you are beastly.”</li>
<li>The      rose garden and castle – making a magical kingdom in NYC.</li>
<li>The      blind teacher, Will. He’s a good mentor.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Dislikes:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Lindy’s      crooked teeth. Why is it an issue? Most people look pretty good with      crooked teeth, but if it was really bad and made her look ugly it’s easily      fixed with all that money Adrian has.</li>
<li>Kendra      the witch is an iffy for me.</li>
<li>Tuttle      Prep sounds like it needs all its students to be turned into Beasts;      especially Sloane. Where’s the justice there?</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Last Minute Thoughts: </strong>Can’t wait to see the movie.</p>

<p>by <strong>First Mate Keira</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;"><strong>Title:</strong> Star Crossed: Aries Rising<br />
<strong>Author:</strong> Bonnie Hearn Hill<br />
<strong>Format:</strong> Paperback<br />
<strong>Page Count:</strong> 278<br />
<strong>Grade Reading Level:</strong> Grades 7-9</p>
<p><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?lt1=_blank&#038;bc1=FFFFFF&#038;IS2=1&#038;npa=1&#038;bg1=FFFFFF&#038;fc1=000000&#038;lc1=0000FF&#038;t=yarr-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as1&#038;m=amazon&#038;f=ifr&#038;md=10FE9736YVPPT7A0FBG2&#038;asins=0762436700" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" align="right"></iframe><strong>Summary: </strong>Logan McRae just wants two things out of life. First, she wants Mr. Franklin to get her into the summer writing camp. Then she wants a date with Nathan. When she finds a book called Fearless Astrology, Logan’s life begins to change. Just when things are going good the Gears ruin everything. The Gears is a gang of kids causing trouble and vandalizing the school and surrounding community.</p>
<h3>Why I started reading this book:</h3>
<p>I got this book from participating in Bonnie Hearn Hill’s book blog tour for book one of the new Star Crossed series: Aries Rising.</p>
<h3>Likes:</h3>
<ul>
<li>I      personally don’t believe in astrology so I appreciated the reminders that      the sun sign is not the sum of a person. I think that’s important to know      and to not get too wrapped up in the superstition.</li>
<li>I      liked Mr. Franklin’s nickname Frankenstein. Haha. <img src='http://www.literatureyoungadultfiction.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </li>
<li>I      liked that <em>Fearless Astrology</em> boosted Logan’s confidence and got her to experiment and try things.      Getting out of her shell lead to all the good in her life – but relying      solely on the book to make the calls got her into some hot water.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Dislikes (Contain Spoilers):</h3>
<ul>
<li>The      student in love with a teacher theme.</li>
<li>Nathan      getting back together with his ex at the end. Way to make his good deeds go      out the window. You’d think he’d know better.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Last Minute Thoughts:</strong> The cover of this book is gorgeous and the book itself comes with temporary tattoos and a small section on astrology signs. Very cool!</p>

At school, Harry discovers he can take potions under a new professor and finds a copy of the required potions textbook owned by a former student. The Half-Blood Prince has scribbled all over the book rewriting much of the instructions. When Harry follows the Prince's instructions, he discovers he makes potions better and faster. After school hours, Dumbledore is showing Harry more about Voldemort's life in an attempt to discover Voldemort's plans.</p>
<h3><strong>Why I watched this movie:</strong></h3>
<p>I watched this movie because we just got it as a DVD.  I can't wait til movie seven is out!</p>
<h3><strong>Likes:</strong></h3>
<ul>
<li>The acting in general by everyone is great! I thought everyone did a superb job! They couldn't have picked a better Professor Slughorn. Actually, I think they've cast everyone perfectly so far throughout the series.</li>
<li>There was so much humor in this movie. I loved it and it makes me laugh. Luna and Ron were the source of most amusement. Slughorn too.</li>
<li>I like the scene where after Ron had won the Quidditch game, Hermoine was sad and furious at him and shot birds at his head. Poor Hermione. Don't worry you and Ron will get together eventually.</li>
<li>Lavender was so funny. Poor Ron and his chapped lips.</li>
<li>I enjoyed watching the flashbacks of Voldemort's life. I wish there'd been more than the two they used.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Dislikes:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Draco Malfoy looked weird to me in this movie. I think it's his hair. I liked how it was before.</li>
<li>I wish that they had Dobby and Kreacher in this movie. They keep excluding Dobby from the movies which is very sad because they probably won't show him and what he does in book seven. Dobby was a good friend to Harry.</li>
<li>I wanted to see a Defense Against the Dark Arts class with Snape teaching it. Do disappointed it wasn't in the theatrical release.</li>
<li>I also wished that they explained more about who the Half-Blood prince was, there was just enough to get it but not enough to deliver a huge impact.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Last minute thoughts:</strong> This was one of my favorite movies and I can't wait for it Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows to com out!</p>

<p style="padding-left: 60px;"><strong>Title:</strong> Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince<strong><br />
Author: </strong>J.K. Rowling<strong><br />
Format:</strong> Hard Back<strong><br />
# of pages:</strong> 652<br />
<strong>Grade Reading Level:</strong>5.9; 4-8 grade</p>
<p><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?lt1=_blank&#038;bc1=FFFFFF&#038;IS2=1&#038;npa=1&#038;bg1=FFFFFF&#038;fc1=000000&#038;lc1=0000FF&#038;t=yarr-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as1&#038;m=amazon&#038;f=ifr&#038;md=10FE9736YVPPT7A0FBG2&#038;asins=0439785960" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" align="right"></iframe><strong>Summary:</strong> The toughest year for Harry so far begins by being hex and humiliated by his long time rival  Draco Malfoy. Of three things Harry Potter is most certain. First, Draco Malfoy was a Death Eater. Second, Draco Malfoy was up to something bad. And third, that he was <s>in love with him</s>. No, wait that would be Ginny Weasley! Now if only everyone would believe him. Not even Dumbledore, who was training Harry seemed to believe him. So what should he do? Spy of course and mix brilliant potions under the new Potions instructor's tutelage!</p>
<h3>Why I Started the Book:</h3>
<p>I'm almost done rereading all the Harry Potter books! Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows here I come!</p>
<h3>Likes:</h3>
<ul>
<li>I loved when Dobby and Kreacher were fighting over Harry and I wished that it was in the movie.</li>
<li>I liked the Defense Against the Dark Arts classes and also wished they showed some classes in the movie. It was Snape's dream job and when he gets it, it's not even showed in the movie!</li>
<li>Dumbledore taught Harry more about Lord Voldemort through memories which was important, but I wished they took place all in one night and not scattered throughout the book. That way the follow up lessons could be on dueling!</li>
<li>I liked how Harry tricked Ron with the Felix Felicis potion. It shows just how much attitude can change things vs. what magic can do.</li>
<li>The Half-Blood Prince's potion book.  It makes me curious why he didn't later have a book published on potions.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Dislikes:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Dumbledore dying. He's one of the most important characters in the story! However Harry can't defeat Lord Voldemort by holding onto Dumbledore robes. I'm sad to see him go but I understand why.</li>
<li>Harry knew that Draco Malfoy was a Death Eater  all along, but nobody believed him. Not even Dumbledore or Hermione!</li>
<li>Dumbledore didn't technically teach Harry how to defeat Lord Voldemort. He gave clues but he didn't do as much as I thought he should have done.</li>

<p>by <strong>Captain Lyaf Yarr</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;"><strong>Title:</strong> Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix<br />
<strong>Author:</strong> J.K. Rowling<br />
<strong>Format: Hard Back</strong><br />
<strong># of pages</strong> 870<br />
<strong>Grade Reading Level: </strong>5.9; 4-8 grade</p>
<p><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?lt1=_blank&#038;bc1=FFFFFF&#038;IS2=1&#038;npa=1&#038;bg1=FFFFFF&#038;fc1=000000&#038;lc1=0000FF&#038;t=yarr-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as1&#038;m=amazon&#038;f=ifr&#038;asins=0439358078" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" align="right"></iframe><strong>Summary: </strong>If Harry Potter expected Lord Voldemort to make a sudden and frightening reappearance to the wizarding world, he would be dead wrong. No, Lord Voldemort plans are must more sinister  than that! With the wizarding world thinking that he is crazy and Dumbledore is a fool, no preparations are being made to stop Voldemort and no help will come until it is far too late. Dreams are not the only thing stalking Harry at Hogwarts this year--Madam Umbridge, the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher and ministry plant, is far meaner and more dangerous even if she wears pink and love fluffy kittens.</p>
<h3>Why I Started the Book:</h3>
<p>I read this book because I'm continuing my rereading of all the Harry Potter books and movies. Can't wait to restart Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince!</p>
<h3>Likes:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Luna Lovegood. She is an independent and quirky character. I love how everyone thinks she's weird and she doesn't care. I wish I could be more like her!</li>
<li>The secret organization known as the Order of the Phoenix. I thought it was a clever and great group of witches and wizards. If you got to fight evil nobody else will do.</li>
<li>The Sorting Hat song when it said that the four houses and their petty bickering should be set aside, that it was imperative to unite Hogwarts on the inside or it would crumple from within like a stack of cards. You got to be able to trust your friends and contemporaries or you'll be paranoid like Mad-Eye Moody.</li>
<li>Dumbledore's Army in the Room of Requirement. I really enjoyed reading their secret meetings. What a great club! I think that Harry could be a good Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher if becoming an Auror doesn't work out for him.</li>
<li>Harry's Occlumency with Snape. It gave me sick pleasure. I love to see these guys at one another's throats.</li>
<li>The fight between Voldemort, Dumbledore and Harry was cool and interesting at the Ministry in the Atrium. Good thing that fountain got destroyed now they can commission a better one.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Dislikes:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Umbridge is that character you love to hate. As you can see you don't need to have a Dark Mark on your arm to be deluded, crazy, and evil.</li>
<li>Kreacher, I thought that he was obnoxious.</li>
<li>Sirius dying. Why does he have to die? He was Harry's only family! I really loved him. R.I.P. Padfoot.</li>
<li>Marietta. She was the person that told Umbridge about Dumbledore's Army. How rude! Nobody likes a snitch.</li>
<li>Percy Weasley. He was all goody-goody and a <s>teacher's pet</s> minister toady. Where's the family loyalty? Tell me that.</li>
</ul>

She arrives with a bad attitude because she chooses not to enjoy it no matter what. With a grudge against her parents she discovers that her plan might not be easy and it's gonna take more then just a little work. Can Ida B avoid disaster? Will she get herself into more trouble then ever before? Will the life she used to have be lost forever?</p>
<h3><strong>Why I Started the Book: </strong></h3>
<p>I started this book because my teacher had given it as a class assignment.</p>
<h3><strong>Likes: </strong></h3>
<ul>
<li>I liked Ida B's crazy and far out imagination. I guess anything is possible in her book as long as you try hard and put your mind to it. It's a really good attitude to have, I think.</li>
<li>Mrs. W (Washington) was a great character. She seemed like the answer to all of Ida B's questions, and she was always right by her side.</li>
<li>I enjoyed how Katherine Hannigan wrote the parts about the trees. They were either talking or doing something. They we're just like regular people but in tree form.</li>
</ul>
<h3><strong>Dislikes:</strong></h3>
<ul>
<li>Ida B in general is sort of crazy. I mean talking to trees? “Nothing weird about that.” It's just at some parts of this book were a little too weird for me.</li>
<li>Ida seemed immature to me because even if she was joking around about something it would still sound immature and childish.</li>
<li>This book was an easy read for me. The font was big and the lines were double spaced. For a book that talks about saving trees they sure used a lot of paper.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Last Minute Thoughts:</strong> As I was reading I could see everything as if it was in theaters. Katherine Hannigan writes in a very visual way. I wonder if they will make his book into a movie?</p>

<p><strong>Book Rating: </strong>I give this book 3 treasure chests!<br />
