This book hooks the reader once you read it! I could not put it down and I highly recommend it to all readers of all reading levels. This novel is about a Fourth Crown Princess of the Blue Cresent Islands named, Tasha. She is believed to be a witch due to, her blonde hair and fair skin. Most people around the area are dark skined and have brown eyes, so they fear this princess. Prince Ramil of Gerfal is to be married to Princess Tasha, but has no interest. When the two set off on a horse back ride through the hills and forset they are kiddnapped by a circus who are secretly taking them to a horrible dark kindgom. Lives will be lost, battles will be won and ture love will always conqure over all. This is a MUST read!!

Cat really wants to win this science fair, because she’s up against her used-to-be best friend, but now he’s an I-hate-your-guts enemy. The thing is, the picture she drew and she has to base her whole entire project on is a picture of a bunch of early hominis. Finally, Cat gets the idea to do her best to live like one of the early hominis, cutting out processed foods from her diet and leaving use of transportation and technology only to emergencies. With her best friend, Amanda’s great support, Cat follows the rules of her experiment on herself for 207 days! But will she win first place?

Princess Taoshira is still reigning four years after she was chosen to become the Fourth Crown Princess of the Blue Cresent Islands. Against her will, the other 3 Crown Princesses send her to the overseas kingdom of Gerfal, where her betrothed, Prince Ramil, lives. The marriage would give the Gerfalians and the Islanders an alliance that would help both their kingdoms from the dictator and war lord Fergox Spearthrower whom is trying to take control of all the Known World. First captured in the forests of Gerfal, Taoshira and Ramil journey to many places in search of help to overthrow the tyrant and try to make contact with their nation to clear up the alliance misunderstandings that could doom the kingdoms.

The Grimm Legacy
Elizabeth takes up a job at the New York Circulating Material Repository, lonely at her new school and wanting to make some friends. Living with a Cinderella-like stepmother and stepsisters, she is very sad that her father doesn't have much thought anymore to time to spend with her. The repository lends out objects, not books, and there are special collections kept in rooms only available to a set few of employees. But recently there were items missing from a rare collection, called the Grimm collection for its magical objects from the Brothers Grimm stories. The items would come back again, only to have their magic gone, leaving just an ordinary object. Elizabeth and her new friends at the repository seek out the culprit behind the crime only to find a magic user waiting for them.....

This is the best book I have ever read. I really like Tashi, and I am very interested in the culture of the Blue Crescent Islands. I only like Ramil after he stops being 'polite' to serve as an apology. The character that stood out the most to me was Inkar Yellowtooth. She kind of creeps me out. I really like the giant, because he was always trying to protect Tashi, and without him, they could never have completed their mission.

I really enjoyed this book. I definitely think Xander is a good choice for Cassia. Kai is always getting her into trouble, and Xander is just trying to keep her safe. I thought the Society was really creative, and I hope the author writes more books in this series. I also think that everyone in the Society probably breaks the rules all the time, not just Cassia and her family and friends.This was an interesting and quick read for me, and I would recommend it to anyone who liked the Hunger Games

I thought that this book was very good. I like that it was set in Europe. That was cool. I found Hale very comical. I liked how I could hear a clock ticking louder and louder in my head as the deadline drew nearer. It was kind of cool to learn about their technology, and to read a book where you root for the robbers. I also felt frustrated at Arturo for insisting her father was at fault, and had stolen them, even though he knew that Kat's father was not responsible for the theft. He just needed Kat to do his dirty work. I look forward to her next book coming out.

Stubbs, 2nd
Cassia relies on the Society for her food, job, clothes, exercise, everything. But when she turns 17 and is Matched to her best friend, she doesn't doubt the society at all, until she watched Xander's (her best friend/match) microcard on her Port and another face flashed on the screen, a familiar face, Ky. The Society assures her that it was an accident but Cassia isn't so sure when she begins to fall in love with Ky as well. But it's impossible, because Ky isn't allowed to be Matched. So Cassia is left with a decision that could change everything. Should she choose the boy she's known her whole life or the intriguing romance of a forbidden love?
