Persistence of Memory
Amelia Atwater-Rhodes
Delacorte Books for Young Readers, 2008
4.5 Stars - Very Good Read
+ Not Artistic, But Fun
I don't understand the negative reviews. I thought the writing was very good, the ideas original and fresh, and the pace good. It made me want to go buy every Amelia Atwater-Rhodes book I could find.
Erin is a sixteen year old schizophrenic who has been institutionalized almost her whole life. ...

P. C. Cast
Berkley, 2006
Wonderful grown-up fairy tale, with heart-felt characters!
+ One of the Best EVER
Goddess of the Rose by P.C. Cast
This is a lovely paranormal romance. It is like a wonderful grown-up fairy tale. I believe the author even states that she based it on the premise of Beauty and the Beast, but in this case the Beast did not transform into the `usual' prince at the end.

The Exchange
Graham Joyce
Viking Juvenile, 2008
Exchange Falsehood for Truth
Graham Joyce continues to commit magic with his writing. His superb witchy novel "Limits of Enchantment" went beyond his "Dark Sister." "The Toothfairy" is wicked and delicious. And like his "T.W.O.C," or Laura Whitcomb's lyrical and insightful "A Certain Slant of Light," this poignant novel and ...
