This ebook is a wander through the mind and collective experiences of Dean Moriarty. A travelling poet and artist one can see the influences of many cultures and happenstance in this book. Think ethereal 'restaurant at the end of the universe' and you will be some way toward being able to 'get-it' with this book. I personally like the intellectual prose and I think any reader of Douglas Adams-esque material should too! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/The-Story-I-Never-Told-Audiobook/B0178QEUK4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Yes, the real kind, found in Missouri. On a bluff. Carved from the side of a cliff. With secret passageways, and locked doors and secret, concealed rooms and lots of false walls and panels and cubbyholes. When Jae visited the well-renowned Rothwell Lodge, known as Sedalia Missouri's Castle on the Hill, she was suspicious from the first. Why did Rothwell have so many secret things about the Castle? Why was his wife Hattie a recluse, who died two years after their marriage? And why, to top it all, are there so many parallels between Rothwell Lodge and the sinister Rothwell Castle in Scotland? Meanwhile, as Jae is solving one mystery, she is plunged into the middle of another. Teaching school to beautiful, big-eyed Gypsy children seems such a wonderful opportunity. But when she gets there, she comes face to face with one of the most invincible Mafia gangs in the world. When she realizes, sitting in her bedroom at the Mennonite mission, that she is in a den of thieves, she wonders, "God, am I ever going to see my family again?" And what about Nick, the sweet widower with the two little children she met on the train? Would she ever see him again either?

Members Reviews: Stunning Book -- great plot, language, characters This book is a stunning young adult thriller that will get under your skin and haunt you even after you finish it. With language of beauty, urgency, and meaning, we follow a teen through her journey in a dangerous nation divided by religion. Orphaned "K" gets recruited to try to flush out terrorists in one of the main academies run by the religious fundamentalists. K's world has been strictly defined by her "citizen" status, which comes with perks denied the "hoodie" fundamentalists. Her arrival in the other half of the city opens up a whole new world for her -- one that gives an alternative narrative to the citizen-vs-hoodie story she has learned. K navigates an alien culture, which is written with creepy realistic details of being watched and judged and in danger. I won't say anything more about the plot, but I will say if you aren't sucked in by the first few pages, I'd be very surprised. Each character is well drawn and full-fledged, the action is incredible, and the ending superb. I think I held my breath through most of the book. It's a book that will keep you up at night -- don't start it if you have anything important the next day. ;) Excellent and timely thriller! We live in uncertain times, a world where lines are increasingly blurred and crossed, where zealots think nothing of spilling blood for their cause while the innocent bystander is caught in the crossfire. Despite this â love, hope and friendship continue to blossom as people stand against the extremists and strive for peace. ONE OF US by Jeannie Waudby is a perfect example of this never-ending battle as we meet K, a fifteen year old orphan whose life has once again been touched by tragedy as she narrowly escapes a terrorist attack. Recruited by Oskar, an undercover policeman to infiltrate the other side, K soon learns that the truth isnât always black and white and the enemy so easy to recognise. Kâs world consists of the Brotherhood and the Citizens. Warring for years, the two sides have agreed on an uneasy peace and have begun a reconciliation process to integrate the Citizens and the Brotherhood into one cohesive society. Transgressions such as the bomb attack K experienced threaten its shaky survival. As an attempt to discover potential militant and rogue elements of Brotherhood society, Oscarâs unit recruits K to attend a Brotherhood school and identify students at risk of being drawn to the extremists and used as pawns in their fight. As K is embedded deeper into the Brotherhood, she begins to learn that there are two sides to every story and the âtruthsâ she has been told as a Citizen may not be as accurate as she once thought. ONE OF US is a tense and thrilling story about betrayal, propaganda, trust and recognising that while there is much to tear us apart, itâs the things that truly make us human that are most easily identifiable and vital for our collective survival. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Red-Leaves-Audiobook/B00XRRP0JO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

And can the two boys survive long enough to discover them? Members Reviews: Enjoyed as an adventure for youngsters. Not bad for adults, either. I truly enjoyed "The Emerald River: A Novel". I enjoy young adult fiction-especially YA fiction that is a quality read. I appreciated how the Lord was mentioned as the source of a young man's strength and how a parent's love can supersede that same parent's issues. Great Book My boys have really enjoyed the book, it has been hard to put down. There is adventure and suspense. It is a quick read. Imaginative adventure by a young author Imaginative tale of subterranean survival. When Kent and his friend Pat become trapped on an underground river, they must face their fears and use their wits to survive in this beautiful but dangerous subterranean world. There are also chapters devoted to Kent's father as he tries to rescue them while confronting his own inner demons. The characters come alive with detailed backstories rarely seen by an author so young. Written for the most part with a maturity beyond his years, and with a whimsical twist at the end that probably wouldn't have worked for an adult author, but in the hands of a sixteen year old, seems just right. Is the Emerald River an allegory for dealing with depression? It certainly seems so. In the sense that Kent is all alone in the cold dark world, with only Pat for company, while his father deals with his depression. The journey back to each other is pretty heavy for both father and son. A 16 year old wrote this? GREAT ADVENTURE Young Kent and Pat have a hairy, scary adventure worthy of Indiana Jones. Being only 16 when he wrote this, J.K. Drew has amazing talent. Love the cover, too.

Title: The Undying: Shades Subtitle: An Apocalyptic Thriller Author: Ethan Reid Narrator: Candace Thaxton Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 46 mins Language: English Release date: 05-12-15 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Teens, Ages 11-13 Publisher's Summary: The Undying "screams for a sequel" (Publishers Weekly) - and Ethan Reid delivers in this riveting follow-up to "a thriller that brings a genuinely fresh take to a monstrous mythology" (Andrew Pyper, number-one best-selling author of The Demonologist). The fate of the world is in his hands. The Undying: Shades finds American student Jeanie and her young charge, Ren, 15 years after the EMP that wiped out Paris and sent them on the run from the undying. Walking the highways and hiding out in abandoned buildings across France, they eventually find their way to Spain and the walled city of Ronda, where a few dozen survivors have gathered - safe enough from the hunting undying but facing a new threat on the scorched planet: starvation. With their main resource - humans - bordering on extinction, the undying have weakened, retreating to their hives and slowly withering away. But not for long. A dark presence arrives, casting its shadow across Spain, reawakening the hives and creating a new breed of monster. Driven by some alien intelligence, these Shades not only reanimate the undying but can possess the living, turning survivors against one another. When Ronda comes under attack, Ren saves the day. As the youngest human left on Earth, he has been blessed with a special gift that makes him a perfect killing machine - and the last hope of humanity. Forced to leave the safety of the barricades, he takes to the highways with a company of Spaniards who intend to eradicate the undying from Europe hive by hive, using Ren as their secret weapon. But as they approach Sevilla to face the most powerful Shade yet, Ren learns some in his company aren't all they appear to be.... Members Reviews: A Delicious Banquet of Horror Any additional comments? Shades serves up like a delicious second course at a banquet of horror. It compliments, meets and exceeds the flavors laid out in the first novel. Reid continues his Undying series with a tale that is exciting and terrifying and filled with characters that are both bold and real. As the few remaining humans struggle to survive the undead are evolving - driven by a dark force deep in the ground - and hell bent on devouring them all. The background and settings are like a sauce that he masterfully crafts from the bold tastes of Gothic, Apocalypse, Zombie and Lovecraft styles. As narrator; Candace Thaxton sets the table and delivers the story in a way that draws you into the vibrant, violent and chaotic after-world. I seldom give 5 stars but Reid and Thaxton have earned it with this one. Can't wait for the third course! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Cat-Tales-and-Whiskers-Audiobook/B00TXGIZQS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

What made the experience of listening to Cat Tales and Whiskers the most enjoyable? The sound effects and music are fun. It's bit like listening to a spooky story around a campfire with friends. But this story has a great ending. Who was your favorite character and why? Vermin! Cats are adorable and kids love cats. He added a sweet and cuddly touch to the story. Ash was great too. A very sincere, solemn guy, going through difficult teen issues. What about Michele Carpenters performance did you like? Ash seems like a real 14 year old guy. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? When Ash gets saved and bravely goes to face the battle that lies in his path. Any additional comments? This book was written by a 13 year old, Christian, homeschool student with dyslexia, and somehow, knowing that made it that much more special to me. I think we need more stories like this out there. Wonderful story so refreshing I recommend this to all ages a great story and the audio was wonderful as well. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Hearts-to-Follow-Series-1-3-Audiobook/B00TP2UWF2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A great MG/YA book about first loves Any additional comments? I really enjoyed this little YA series on Audiobook. It was a fun listen to during my commute to work. It is made up of 3 short novellas that are geared to preteen/teen girls. The narrator was pretty good and easy to follow along with. There was one character in the first book that was super annoying and the narrator even gave this character that high pitched whinny voice that I can't stand. It was great even though she was hard to handle. haha. The books are clean romance YA/teen type where the main characters are starting to date/have crushes. High school life/drama, first crushes. The first book I have to say would be my favorite of them all as the story is fun with Cam really wanting to date Nick but playing girlfriend to Josh to see if Nick would want Cam. It was super cliche but very cute. I also loved the end. Book two my next favorite as Summer falls for Nick and we find out more about Nick and what really happened between him and Gina. The books do have an ARC so you would have to read them to know the whole story line. They have characters that are brought into the next. The characters could be more developed but the author does a good job as these are novellas vs longer novels. I do wish that the audiobook would tell you when you are starting the next book but it just gives a little break between chapters and books. I would listen to another audiobook by this narrator and I would read more from Dana Burkey. I give this series a 3.5 out of 5 stars as it is a great younger teen series. I received this book in exchange for an honest review. Super cute What made the experience of listening to Hearts to Follow Series (#1-3) the most enjoyable? I like that I can listen to this while doing house work. Cute stories What other book might you compare Hearts to Follow Series (#1-3) to and why? The stories are short and sweet. I am sure they are like a lot of others, but not ones I can pin point. What about Brittany Morgan Williamss performance did you like? Her voice was different enough for each of the books that I was able to get into them quickly Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes. I listened while I cleaned my house and it was perfect Any additional comments?

Members Reviews: A Marvelous Performance of a Civil War Tale What did you love best about It Took a War? I loved how well the writing and the narration complemented each other, offering a vivid glimpse into the Civil War era and the main characters' various reactions to the war. What was one of the most memorable moments of It Took a War? Perhaps one of the more memorable sequences is when Joe signs up to join the war. Joe and the crowds in town are so jubilant, in direct contrast to his mother and sister's response. Those scenes give a broad glimpse at the North's confidence and belief that the war would be over quickly, while showing how hard it must have been for families to let their boys march off to battle. Have you listened to any of Guyon Brandts other performances before? How does this one compare? I haven't listened to any of Guyon's other performances - and, sadly, I haven't seen any other audiobooks narrated by him. But I would definitely be interested in hearing more of his work! Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes and no. I think it's easier to appreciate and savor a story when you experience it in bits and pieces over a period of time. And the fact that this story is divided into a lot of quick scenes does make it easier to find good stopping places. Of course, the short scenes can also flow into each other, making it just as easy to keep going! I think I savored the first half of the book and might have enjoyed the second half more if I had taken more time and paid greater attention, listening through without as many pauses and distractions. Any additional comments? I was truly impressed with the presentation of this story as an audiobook! The narrator did a phenomenal job, even singing songs from the American Civil War era a capella (and pulling it off quite wonderfully!). This is a well-researched tale, one that provides an endearing glimpse into a family struggling to find themselves and understand one another through the difficulties of war. In a little over three hours, it's like experiencing an epic play outside the theater. All you need to do is pause halfway through for an intermission. :) *With thanks to the author for providing me with a complimentary audiobook download in exchange for my honest opinion.* https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Walk-Across-the-Sea-Audiobook/B00T547NFW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Lots of layers Written from the perspective of a thirteen year-old girl, Eliza, in late nineteenth century Crescent City, California. Eliza lives on an island with her parents and helps them run the lighthouse. (Interesting historical fact-this is the Battery Point lighthouse in Crescent City. The characters are fictional, but the lighthouse is not.) Many residents of Crescent City want the Chinese out. Eliza begins to question the prevailing prejudice when she makes friends with a young Chinese boy. She must stand up for what she knows is right, even if it means standing up to her own father. I thought this book was so well written and with so many layers. First of all, the lighthouse and island life were so intricately described...I could tell the author did her research. As a reader, I could love the island with Eliza and all its wildness and storms and unpredictableness. In a way, the island kind of parallelled Eliza's life at that time. The sea was tempestuous just like the townspeople and there wasn't a whole lot she could do to affect the outcome of campaign against the Chinese...other than stand (like an "island") for what she believed was right. And the lighthouse was God because this was also a story about Eliza's coming into her faith by her own right, and not leaning so much on the faith of others. SPOILER: There is a beautiful scene at the end, in the lighthouse when Eliza knows that God is listening. Eliza's father is among the townspeople that do not want the Chinese in Crescent City, and she struggles with reconciling the father she loves -and who is a good man- with the father who is prejudiced. SPOILER: Eliza's mother has a miscarriage. In a way, I saw this book as pro-life. Eliza saw the unborn child. Eliza sought out the doctor and asked him to show her the graveyard where the unborn children were buried. Eliza refers to the baby as her "little sister," and the baby is eventually brought back to the island and buried. In the end, the family makes a sacrifice which is sad, but beautiful, too. And right. It ended just how it should end Get Swept Away By Walk Across the Sea 18th century California was a time of prejudice. Walk Across the Sea, centers around independent Eliza Jane, a young teenage girl who lives with her parents in a northern California lighthouse. When a mysterious Chinese immigrant boy saves her goat from the California waters, she tries to find him to pay him back. She soon learns that prejudice surrounds the Chinese by the people of her town. Along the way helping her is her brave and helpful friend Sadie, her open minded and kind neighbor, Dr Wilton and her pet goat Parthenia. This story has a mix of friendship, prejudice, religion, compassion, and morality. This out of the ordinary story shows prejudice back then and gives lessons on how we can be rid of prejudice today. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/The-Law-of-Loving-Others-Audiobook/B00QSNB0IO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

In the span of just one winter break, Emma's relationships alter forever and she is forced to see the wisdom in a line from Anna Karenina: "The law of loving others could not be discovered by reason, because it is unreasonable." A beautifully grounded coming-of-age novel, The Law of Loving Others demands that the listener accept the main character, Emma, for who she is, while also creating deep sympathy for all that she is going through. Members Reviews: Mental illness in the family GRADE: B+ 4.25 STARS After Emma returns from boarding school for winter holidays, her mother is hospitalized. Unbeknownst to Emma, her mom has been on meds for schizophrenia for decades. Emma's confusion and anger threaten her relationship with her boyfriend Daniel as she meets a new boy, Phil who also has family in the psych hospital. THE LAW OF LOVING OTHERS has so many positive attributes. Kate Axelrod's writing voice and dialogue are raw and authentic. Axelrod gave Emma a sex positive persona. At times she used sex to deal with or forget problems and although she cheated, sex was a healthy part Emma's life. I never had a good feel for her relationship with Daniel; they seemed to be on different life paths. Nothing about him felt special, but I did adore his mom. Emma seemed to connect better with Phil over mental illness in the family, though it was hard to tell if they had anything in common except their families struggles. Axelrod could have done a better job portraying the mental illnesses. Early on Emma recognizes her mother's symptoms as psychotic. A teenager with no knowledge of schizophrenia would likely not be able to put a name to the very confusing behaviors. Axekrod describes mania as euphoria, but in reality the condition often manifests as severe anger, anxiety, frenetic unproductive energy and other negative states of being. When Emma questions what "disorganized" means in terms of schizophrenia that part of the diagnosis isn't answered. THE LAW OF LOVING others provides no easy answers or ending tied in a perfect bow, the reality of mental illness in the family. I do with Emma had gotten some therapy for her self injury, her mother's schizophrenia and Emma's own attitudes about relationships. An engaging debut. I am looking forward to her next effort. Her description of coping with the disintegration of her mother was quite moving. This is a voice we need more of in YA ... This is a voice we need more of in YA. Well written, complex characters who struggle with the darkest parts of themselves and others. Can't wait for Axelrod's next! Everyone should read Kate Axelrod's book The main character is so real. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Breaking-Butterflies-Audiobook/B00P1KMGH4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: If you're a big YA fan you'll like this Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? I neither liked nor disliked this book, so saying if it was time well-spent or not is a little tricky for me. I don't feel like I wasted six hours of my life, so that's good, right? One thing about this book that I liked was that it's easy to listen to while doing other things. It's light "reading," so to speak, so even if you didn't like it you haven't spent all your energy trying to pay attention to it. How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable? Ok. So. I am not a fan of the YA writing style (first person, present tense. I HATE present tense in books), so I would have changed all of that. That's just my personal preference; I'm sure there's tons of people out there that wouldn't be bothered by it. It was also a bit cliche in places. I would have taken out the love triangle; it added nothing to the story (also, is it some sort of requirement now that all YA novels have to have a love triangle? It's getting old). In fact, I don't think the story would have suffered at all if the character of Jon was omitted entirely, because he did absolutely nothing but sit there and look pretty. At least Andrew actually helped with the murder investigation a little.It wasn't a bad book; it IS entertaining. It's no great piece of literature, but I have no doubt it could become very popular. Have you listened to any of Brenna Fredericks other performances before? How does this one compare? All I've heard are a couple samples from other books she has narrated, and she seems like a really good narrator. All her voices for the characters fit them perfectly, and she's really good at portraying the emotions in the characters' voices. I think she did an especially good job at Sharlene's voice; she brought something to the character that probably wouldn't have come across if I had read it myself. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Picture-Perfect-Geek-Girl-Book-3-Audiobook/B00KH9NDNU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Mia, Guardian Children's Books website) Members Reviews: Another hit! Review: another hit from holly Smale, I love this series and couldn't wait to get my hands on this one, plus it was in beautiful hardback. Now that does mean that it doesn't match my other GG books but it is gorgeous and has some beautiful glasses on the actual cover itself, not that we judge books by their covers of course! This story starts with a bang just like the others and the rest of the storyline carries on from there bringing mishaps and mayhem all the way through. There are some genuinely laugh out loud moments, as we can expect from this writer, but also some real aww moments and some times where Harriet gets herself in a fair amount of bother! The wonderful thing about this particular storyline is that it's all set around New York which makes for some fab NYC moments and a bit of romance on the Brooklyn Bridge too! Harriet really excels in this latest novel. She is about to turn 16 and this really is a coming of age novel for her. She is still just as clueless when it comes to real life, despite her head for facts and figures but over the course of this novel we see her rebelling just a little bit more. I really liked her for this and it made for some excellent comedy moments! Nicks really comes into his own in the book too, he features a lot more heavily and is a bit of a grounding influence when it comes to Harriet. Of course Wilbur returns in this book, we love him and it wouldn't be the same without him and Harriet's parents also play a slightly bigger part this time. Because most of the novel is set in New York, we don't see as much of Harriet's friends from back home but they are ever present on the end of a phone, or in emails sent back and forth-lovely! Overall this was just a really fun read. With a Geek Girl novel you know you are going to get some really funny moments, almost slapstick comedy but with a strong moral message and a strong feminist message as well. Harriet seems to be struggling with the feminist issue more in this novel, but it really comes through in the end. The book is well rounded, pacey and just a really good read. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Awkwardly-Ever-After-Audiobook/B00L85Y066 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Critic Reviews: "Fans of Meg Cabot will find Marni's voice equally charming and endearing." (Julie Kagawa, New York Times bestselling author) Members Reviews: Farewell, Smith High Awkwardly Ever After has three stories centering around prom in Smith High. In the first story, Awkwardly, Melanie Morris has a crush on Dylan Wellesley. Melanie, however has some issues at home making her feel that she is not worthy enough. I loved this story. It was sweet and very cute. The second story, Ever, is about Isobel Peters. Isobel has a few weight issues and has been bullied for it. However, when the most popular student in the Junior class, Spencer King, hitches an idea that involves Isobel, you wonder. Will there be more than mutual friends that will link these two characters, or something greater? Isobel is very good at reading people, however, she's uptight. Meanwhile, Spencer is laid back and fun. This story was great! Love, Love, Love! The last story, After, is about Corey O'Neal. Corey is an openly gay teenager in highschool. He gets bullied for it all the time. Corey is currently dating lead singer from the band ReadySet, Timothy Goff. What happens if the pressure of being in the spotlight is overwhleming? Can their relationship survive. Corey has had a hard time. However, he stood up for what he felt was right and that was the best redemption. Overall, this series of Smith High (and Decked With Holly!) was great. The characters, the plots, the laughs...all amazing! I look forward to what Marni Bates has next. Was hoping for better A disappointing finish to a series with some of the most delightful YA characters I've ever read. Marni Bates tries to cram in too much here by writing three short stories about three different couples. The second couple is the most interesting, but there's not enough time to fully develop them. And the third story--about the recurring gay couple in the series--is unconvincing and downright preachy. We get it--Bates loves the LGBQT community. Then, for heaven's sake, she should write them into a better story. Awkwardly Ever After Awkwardly Ever After sounded like it was going to be an adorable finale to this cutely awkward series, but sadly, it wasn't. I liked how it was following the supportive characters, and giving three of them their happy endings, but none of the three stories actually impressed me. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/The-Last-Underwater-City-Audiobook/B00KGCPBAG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

With the collapse of modern society, the population has regressed into eight clans. Amongst these clans, an unusual girl grows from child to adult. Raised on the run and in hiding, Shilo wants to be free of the expectations of women.

Members Reviews: A teenage romance novel with a dystopian setting The book started off well and had a great finish. But them middle was primarily sex and feelings, a dystopian romance. I understand that the author wanted to portray a future dystopian society where women were objects to be claimed and how wrong that would be. That part was made really clear. This would have been a much better book if it concentrated more on the story then on the long drawn out and descriptive sexual parts. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/The-Centaurs-Daughter-Audiobook/B00IUQE84K Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: LOST SOME OF ITS MAGIC I enjoyed the first book in this fantasy/adventure trilogy (Watersmeet) ... reviewing and rating the first book here on Amazon as 4-STAR. I was disappointed by this, the second book in the trilogy. Too much repetition, introspection and not enough action. The only primary activity in this book is a battle which all takes place on a few pages near the end of the book. Too many primary characters were unnecessarily killed off at this books conclusion. Also, in my opinion, the "leviathon-birds" introduced in the final chapter added nothing to the story and in fact gave the book kind of a cheesy (seen-it-all-before) feel at its conclusion. Hopefully the author will pick the pace back up in the final (third) book which I just now began reading. This is book 2! What the description of this book does not mention, is that this is a sequel to the book Watersmeet. You should read that one first, otherwise this will seem like it started in the middle. Out of all 90 books I have read this year, this series is my favorite. It is so refreshing to have a series written for girls in which the primary focus is not who she should date. In fact, that is not really even addressed until well into this book. What this series is instead, is a well-written bit of high fantasy with an interesting premise. Easy read, lots of fantasy characters I read this in a couple of days on vacation. An unusual heroine, with equally unusual friends. The adventure begins immediately with plenty of action. You end up liking the dwarves, the fauns, and other characters created and you leave this book hoping there is another......some moderately graphic violence but much less than even the most modest video game....I'd let my teenager read it. Good story, ending was disappointing The story ends abruptly, didin't like that. Maybe the author intends to write a third book (Watersmeet is the first) and wanted to leave her audience wanting more...? The way it ended was a disapointment. And the blase way they mention how her close friends died was too vauge and uneventful. I guess I expected more since they were supposed to be so close to the main character. A flat read I have not read the first book, but found the Centaur's Daughter easy to read on itsown. I enjoy fantasy genre and I liked the world created in this book, however, the writing did not engage me as I would have liked it too. I felt nothing when various characters, who were supposed to be important to Abisina died. I did not feel any excitement over the first kiss with Findlay (or any one that followed). The book felt like a black and white documentary - interesting subject, but lacking the liveliness. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/The-Barbarians-Audiobook/B00I5QGZMI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Worth every penny Loved the artwork good reading Four Stars Good illustrations and text. I Bought if for the Pics. Otherwise useless info inside. Based on previous reviews, and my appreciation of Angus McBride's skill with paint and brush, I bought this book with a grain of salt. As per his usual, McBride's paintings are breath-taking, powerful and impressive. And THAT is why I bought this book. The material contained herein is not accurate, and there are editing mistakes as well, which further complicates any attempts at reading. IF you like the images of old world warriors and depictions of gore wet battles and heroic deeds, the book is enjoyable for that - thanks to the artist. IF you are looking to learn a truthful and correct history of these people - stay clear of this one. I gave the book three stars based solely on the art work, since that is all I can say I enjoy about it. Fun read and partially accurate! Good read with a good summary in general. This is a huge field to study, and this is a cursory look at an overlooked history. He is biased to fault when speaking about the Islamic expansion. In a nut shell he claims that Moslem conquest was either a good thing for the conquered or a zero sum gain. He does not tell direct falsehoods, but rather leaves out details when it would go against his narrative, and emphasizes other ones to justified his conclusions. I would recommend the book, but it can't stand alone as a completely accurate brief survey. It should be read a grain of salt. "Empires being neither up nor down,do not fail. They change their appearance." When I first saw this book,I thought it was a juvenile book for Middle schools.This impression came first from the cover which is an illustration of Middle Age Warriors on horseback.Something like you see on Sci-Fi or Fantasy books. Then the size.It is large,71/2"X10",and only 3/4 " thick,including hard covers.A quick thumb-thru indicated it had a lot of pictures and illustrations.I picked it up anyway.Although I read a lot of history,I am pretty weak on the history of the Middle Ages. I thought this book would give a simple overview of this period.Was I ever in for a surprise!!. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Hippocampus-Audiobook/B00GO9K6Y6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Trey, a member of his high school swimming team, is transported to Atlantis where he discovers he is the ruling Prince. The reason for this is the whole royal family have been slaughtered by the Knights of the Abyss and Aerian the sorceress has sent the call for Trey to assume his true heritage. Along the road to recovering the kingdom from the Knights, Trey finds out many things about the island of Atlantis and his own beginnings. For instance he is adopted and his Grandfather is a sorcerer. Good idea and the start of what might be a good series. The concept of this book intrigued me but I have to admit to being disappointed with the presentation. The formatting did not adjust to various ebook readers, I tried two or three different ones, and there were hyphens in words that did not belong in the middle of lines of text. I also found the story to be disjointed and at times the author appeared to be offering me a science lesson. In other words he told me what happened rather than showing me by actions and memories. All these anomalies interrupted the flow of reading the story. I would suggest with a good edit, this could be a wonderful book and series. Too often Atlantis is portrayed as a sunken world of affluence and goodness. This book shows a different side to Atlantis which is well worth investigating. originally posted at long and short reviews ideal ya novel This review may contain spoilers This was given to me in ebook form from Confessions of a Bookaholic for review Summary: The Knights of the Abyss wage war on Atlantis. Sixteen year old Trey Atlas is the only one that can stop them from destroying all that Atlantis stands for and, as a result, erasing his own mysterious past. Atlantis exists. Of course, you don't know this because it's hidden from our world. Eleven thousand years ago, the Greeks and Egyptians attacked Atlantis. In order to protect the island, Aruc, a sorcerer, created an illusion of the island sinking and then put a barrier in place to prevent outsiders from seeing or gaining access to Atlantis. But Aruc knew that the isolated island was not safe forever. In fact, he cast the very prophecy that predicted the bleak future of the island. His prophecy became known as Profiteia ek Espanastasi. From Blood of Evil and Blood of True A Boy is Born and this Prophecy Due For When the Abyss Rises to Make It's Mark The Saviour is the Boy wit Royal Blood Half Dark The sorcerer then designed a plan that would ensure the survival of the island he loved. For thousands of years, Atlantis continued in Peace and prosperity with no need for the plan. Sixteen years ago, the Prince foreseen in Aruc's prophecy was born. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Instant-Winner-Audiobook/B00EIISOGM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Female werewolves Why I read this: The cover was eye catching and it was about werewolves.. need I say more? :) Plot: Claire starts to have some weird changes on her 16th birthday. She's getting rashes and having all sorts of weird cravings... and her mom drops the bomb - they're both werewolves. Unfortunately, her new crush has a father who is trying to find the cure for werewolves and will stop at nothing to try and capture the lone werewolf who has been murdering humans near where Claire lives. I like the idea of only women being werewolves - as we often see the opposite. The plot moved forward and there's a bit of mystery as to which werewolf is the one who is going around murdering these people. There's glimpses into the werewolf as she goes to slaughter the next person and that really set the mood of the book into a darker tone - which I really liked. Characters: Claire doesn't really react well to being a werewolf. She hates the thought that people would think badly of her if they found out her secret. Claire starts to experiment behind her mother's back and also refuses to stop seeing Matthew. She consistently sneaks out when her mother is not around and tries to hone her changing to and from werewolf form. I really liked Claire - she seemed very much the modern teenager who wasn't used to her mother being around and from that she really showed some independent thought and action. Matthew is not drool worthy, but he's a nice guy - cute and fun for Claire to be with. He can almost distract her from all of her problems when she's with him. Claire's mother is very aloof, as are a lot of the werewolves - but they survive on instinct and are not reliant on human relationships. Thus the lack of a father figure in Claire's life. Relatability: I definitely cannot see much of me in Claire, but I do know a lot of teenagers like her. She's very realistic and I appreciated that. Cover commentary: Love it. It's so pretty. Definitely one I want on my shelf. Claire de Lune by Christine Johnson This is one of those books that, for me, set the tone from the very beginning. In the prologue as a reader you already have questions swimming through your head and you are hooked because you have to know who is doing these things. We are seeing through the eyes of the rogue wolf in the prologue and it gets the story off to a running start. The story for the most part revolves around Clarie, but every now and then we get a peak into the mind of the rogue wolf and those brief glimpses for me are very intriguing. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Once-Upon-a-Slime-Audiobook/B00C2TXQZ8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: They're back, but are they cursed? It didn't hit me until after I wrote my review of the first book,Vampire Island, but the Livingstones are totally a 70s sitcom family like The Munsters or the Adaams Family. Yes, I know they're supposed to be fruit-bat vegetarian hybrid humans, but going into this series that's really what you need to know. They're like those kooky families, but while dealing with the tough enough issues of trying to fit in they also have to deal with real dangers connected to the nature of being who they are. In this book that danger happens to be a "curse" that could hit a bit too close to home. Along the way Maddy is up to her old tricks, well new ones really as there are no vampire neighbors left to stalk this time around. Lexie, she's managed to end up even more tragic than usual. Hudson, well he's here, but well he's just Hudson. Pete finally gets to show off his true self. And much like the first book it feels as though the major dramatic showdown scene is rushed through, still it sort of works as these crazy creatures would probably do things rather quickly even if it makes the book's big scene feel a little anticlimactic. That said, I liked it enough that I'm onto the next. Great book! Another great series of books for my kids (ages 8 and 9). I love any book that encourages them to read! Again, granddaughter loves this series!! Great price, speedy delivery. Can't beat Amazon when you're looking for that certain book! This is the best pick me up at 9:00 are you going to pick me up at 9:00 promos okay bye bye and night at work so ready when I get the chance you can see Fun! Maddy and her family are hybrid vampire-fruit bats who are trying to become fully human and have moved to the New World. Unfortunately the 9th Knaveheart has followed them and is trying to find its heir so it can retire. Maddy must be on her toes so the 9th Knaveheart does not succeed. This was fun. It can be read as a standalone. I loved Maddy. She is everything a pre-teen should be including being a vampire. She is sarcastic, snarky, and funny. She still holds onto some of the vampire ways but is trying to fit in. Her family is different. I enjoyed her brother. The two are what siblings should be. The story was fun as Maddy met some otherworldly creatures. It is up to her to save the day and protect the Knaveheart heir from coming to fruition. I have got to find the first book in the series and I hope there are more books to come. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Denzel-Washington-Audiobook/B00BBFHY9S Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

While she was ahead of Maddy and Hudson in her quest for humanness, she uses her vampire habits in her bid for election. She also upsets the love of her young life as she runs for office. Meanwhile Maddy and Hudson make Halloween last the whole month of October and Maddy once again uses her hunting skills to take down another baddie. And during all this, they host a couple of pixies. I love this family. They are funny. Lexi wises up the Mina and decides to strike out on her own. Maddy is wild. Nothing evil gets past her. She is still up to her finding and routing evil out of the neighborhood. Hudson still continues his environment protection and gets Maddy to protect him. She does have a way about her. I wish this were not the last book in the series. I would love to see these characters again. I have a few questions I want answered. Everyone should have a PHOLD... The Livingstones are back for their third adventure. Where the first and second books (Vampire IslandandThe Knaveheart's Curse) focused primarily on Maddy and the dangers the family faces in being hybrids, this book deals more with Lexie and the challenges she faces in trying to regain her humanity. There's some old world house guests to deal with. A new world neighbor with a rep for being a witch - so do the Livingstones have enough vampy senses left to figure out her real story? And a high school class election that will test Lexie in ways that go way beyond high school politics. In some ways this book is better than the previous two. In not spending too much time focusing on bad guys and letting us see the real world challenges the family is facing, it's a much funner book, yet still the kids manage to get into a bit of danger (of course). But in this story, while there IS a bad guy, the real threats are the family themselves - can they really overcome their vampire nature and live as humans? And yes, there are unfinished story lines and so there is, of course, room for more books. And so assuming there are others, I'll be back for them. They're fun, fast reads, and the series just keeps getting better. Just don't go into them expecting the typical vampire story. As I said in my review of the last book - they're more like a kooky 70s sitcom family. So long as you know this and don't expect traditional vampires (not even by YA book standards), you'll probably find this series a lot of fun. LOVE THIS BOOK! LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS BOOK! This time around it wasn't for me but my daughter and she was so thrilled to get it since it was a book we read together, she loves vampires and the overall way the story goes is hilarious....at least to my daughter & I it is! It's worth reading in my opinion. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Conrad-Audiobook/B00AEXK936 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Good for Target Audience; Adults Will Probably Find It Lacking If you are an adult who enjoys juvenile fiction as a mental break, this book may not be for you despite its intriguing subject matter. Despite the author's insertion of pop culture tidbits from the era, such as war pictures and the Andrews Sisters, the book never developed an atmosphere that felt like the 1940s. It always seemed like maybe I was reading a play and a period detail was mentioned from time to time to set the scene instead of the scene transporting me to another time and place effortlessly. A reader at the target age of 10 and up might not notice these things, and instead, be intrigued by the mention of the stars and films, but the forced mentions are noticeable if you are already schooled on World War II trends. The book also had a major flaw in that it featured a more pacifistic character with ideas that were never really developed or explored well enough. Instead, this character literally fades away throughout the course of the story. Given earlier descriptions of the person, the silent protest didn't quite fit and was a somewhat disappointing end. The story also does that with a few other plotlines which are introduced, covered, and dropped like a series of vignettes instead of part of a larger narrative. In a way I enjoyed that as it reminded me of some of the great science fiction and cautionary tales I read growing up in the mid-90s (most of which were published in the mid-60s to mid-80s), but I'm not sure how well it will appeal to modern readers of children's literature. However, despite its minor issues, I think this a book worthy of a child's time as it will bring up lots of interesting questions and some very worthwhile discussions about war and peace -- always relevant topics. A side lesson in not hiding your own light under the proverbial bushel also rings true since the main character, Hazel, must accept the fact that sometimes people have gifts - smarts, athletic ability, beauty - and must honor them instead of trying to blend in. While this point could have been hammered home more, its lesson rings loud enough. Given the opportunity, I'd rank this book a 3.5. A Manhattan Project This is an historical novel suitable for those in 5th grade and up. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Dodger-Audiobook/B009F1EULK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Fast paced, fun, inventive tale. Thoroughly recommended. Amazing I found this an amazing book because of the fact that it shows life in old London from both aspects Great look at an old "profession"! Once again Mr P has delivered a great book, with Tony Robinson bringing the story to life as he always does. It is fantastically read and Terry really knows how to make his characters actually seem real. Being a huge fan of the Disc series, I wasnt sure how well he would convince me he could tell a non fantasy book, I am now ashamed I never had faith! This is fantastic and every bit as good as all his other works. Pratchett back on form After a disappointing outing with a co-author in 'The Long Earth', I was more than a bit concerned at a deviation away from the multiple-universally successful Disc World books. What can I say other than WELCOME BACK MR. PRATCHETT! The story line links in with Charles Dickens and other high profile characters of the era, weaving an intricate story line with the main characters - Dodger and the mysterious 'girl' having sufficient facets and layers to remain interesting throughout, and the action never fails to entertain. Toni Robinson is a perfect match to read it, and has avoided sounding too much like Baldrick, when reading Dodger himself. Definitely recommend this as a really enjoyable audio book - if you like the literary works of the talented author Mr. Pratchett - BUY THE BOOK Not up to normal Pratchett standards I've read a lot of Mr Pratchett's books and this would have to go to the bottom of the enjoyed list. None of the characters are 'filled out' and the main story is just silly. I presume this was mainly intended for children..but that shouldn't affect the quality of the story, although it might explain some of the style. Definitely choose a book by this author if you haven't read him before, but not this one.. It doesn't show him at his best. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/The-Magicians-Apprentice-Audiobook/B008N1TUW2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Beautiful story for all ages I picked up this book because the art looked interesting and I wanted a new book to read to my 5 1/2 year old son. Now, I admit that this was a bit mature for him, and there were points when I wondered if I should keep going but he was entranced and refused to let me put it down. He loved the journey and the wisdom and even dealt with the tough parts including a death to end suffering. When we finished, he wanted more, and I have to say, I did too. Realistically this book is probably better suited to ages 8 and up, but it is lyrically written and a lovely story of a journey to know oneself. Rewards Reading My eleven year old son and I shared this book together. While the message is basically Buddhist, it is the journey that is the highlight. It is a testament to the author's ability that a book with very little action and complex discussions captivated a young boy.

Members Reviews: If you are a very young teen: you might enjoy this. If not, then this book is probably not worth the credit or the cash. The story is thin and implausible even for being about time travel. The characters really had little personality and I could not bring myself to care if the protagonist saved her sister or not. The narrator was not bad; she was enthusiastic and pleasant-sounding. She did the best one could do with the material. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Shadow-Runners-Audiobook/B007G9KP4O Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Disappointing This is only the third time in my blogging career that I have had to write a DNF (did not finish) review. I barely passed the 50 page mark. After that, I couldn't take it anymore. I would rather bang my head against a brick wall repeatedly than finish this novel. The writing style was absolutely atrocious. I don't think I have read anything this poorly written in years. The pacing of the novel was horribly slow. I felt like I was trying to walk through freshly poured concrete trying to get where I did in the novel. When something interesting finally did happen, it went back to being boring again in the next chapter. I didn't feel any emotional attachment to any of the characters. They were all easily forgettable. Needless to say, I won't be reading any of Daniel Blythe's future novels. Genaral opinion I really liked this book after the first two chapters. I really like how the characters worked with each other. I really hope you enjoy this book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Dreamland-Social-Club-Audiobook/B005O24NWK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I was slightly hesitant when going into Dreamland Social Club; Having just finished up two amazing contemporaries, I knew that Dreamland Social Club was going to have to be spectacular for me to like it, and it was just that spectacular. Dreamland Social Club is weird and quirky and kooky, and I loved it. The main character, Jane, is trying to figure out who she is, who her mother was, and how this strange closed-off place (Coney Island) fits into the mix. It was so much fun watching Jane find herself through memories of her mother and also through old relationships and friendships of families from Coney Island. The setting of Coney Island is, I think, what makes this book so quirky. Its not just New York City, but a specific place a place that conjures up notions long before the reader starts reading and it was fun to take my preconceived thoughts and see how they were worked into the novel. Watching Jane grow into herself and accept herself was by far the most enjoyable part of the novel. And the minor characters who helped Jane along the way were just as kooky as Coney Island. This novel is full of characters that you wont soon forget. Fans of Please Ignore Vera Dietz by A.S. King will enjoy for sure. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Sky-Hawk-Audiobook/B005NJBOIK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Renowned storyteller Geraldine McCaughrean weaves a rip-roaring adventure in this funny tale that's chock-full of humor and heart. Members Reviews: Disappointing Geraldine McCaughrean is a highly acclaimed YA author. She wrote one the best YA historical adventure novels ever - The Kite Rider. So it makes me sad to say that Sunshine Queen was so dull and disappointing, I didn't even finish it. I was expecting a Huck Finn type adventure with glorious characters reflecting the people and cultures of the mid-west. It had a few quirky characters who did pretty much nothing but talk about their more prosperous past. I gave up when I hit the half-way point. I'm pretty sure most students would do the same. Highly Entertaining and Funny Adventure Story Geraldine McCaughrean has shown tremendous range in her writing as well as the ability to turn research into entertaining and gripping stories. The Glorious Adventures of the Sunshine Queen is no different. Cissy, Kookie, and Tibbie must leave their little town in Oklahoma when Diptheria hits. Along with their often stern school teacher Miss May March, they set out on the train to find their former teacher, Loucien Shades Crew and her husband Everett who, along with a host of other interesting characters, live aboard a showboat and are The Bright Lights Theater Company. The Sunshine Queen, temporarily run ashore, finds its way back into the waters of the Numchuck River in Missouri and then the adventure really starts. The Bright Lights Theater Company picks up a crazy cast of performers and set off to try and make their own fortune on the river. Along the way they have to deal with a pirate, some angry townsfolk, and a particularly nasty swindler who tries to take the Sunshine Queen from them. At first the cast of characters is a bit hard to keep track of since they have names like Cissy and Kookie and Boisenberry (which is where the handy cast of characters page comes in), but once the story is in motion, keeping track of the characters becomes easier. Each one has a distinct set of circumstances and their own personality. Thankfully, each personality is so individual and unique that you quickly forgive the sheer wackiness that abounds in the book. The book is laugh out loud funny at times as Cissy and Kookie often find themselves in situations they shouldn't and Everett has to talk his way out of problem after problem. The final situation near the end of the book seems too good to be true for a group of roving actors and musicians and McCaughrean seems to write with relish as Cissy really comes into her own to solve the problem head on. Like many books for younger readers, there are lessons to be learned. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Another-Pan-Audiobook/B0047P1C7Y Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: where is the story?? What would have made Another Pan better? Actually making a PLOT and a STORY !!! nothing made sense to me What do you think your next listen will be?

No .. but her performance was amazing ..she is the one that kept me gong through the bookpl If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Another Pan?

Members Reviews: Haunting of Charles Dickens The Pickel family owns a print shop and has customers/friends with the likes of Charles Dickens. The daughter of the house, Meg, is adventurous and daring. She is strong willed and tries to find her missing older brother. While traveling at night through London she unexpectedly meets Charles Dickens. They make a pact that they will save Meg's brother. I felt different enjoyment from this book then Buzbee's Steinbeck Ghost. Instead of flowing into each book Steinbeck wrote this one was a whole new mystery featuring Dickens and mentions of his stories. Meg and Dickens are interesting partners. Dickens comes across very fun loving which if you have seen real photos of Dickens you would not think that of him because I have not seen one where he smiles. This book tells about the dark side of the times for children who worked in labor houses like Dickens did once as a child. So book has a little grittiness to it that makes some it hard to enjoy even though it may be based on facts. Dickens does make it laughable at times by dress in odd suits and meeting odd souls. Good read for Dickens lovers. This is a great series for young adults that is written by a ... This is a great series for young adults that is written by a local, Bay Area author. A teacher of mine heard about this author while at a Steinbeck conference from another teacher. We bought the series for the campus library. We cannot keep it on the shelves. The students really enjoy it. Fascinating Stuff For Its Intended Audience, But Not So Much For Me Three of us tried to read this book, and, well, only one of us made it through to the end. Now, that could say something about us, but I think it's more a reflection of a writer who was following a formula of other books and proved, in this case, that such things just shouldn't be done. Or, to put it differently, Lewis Buzbee was writing a type of book instead of being inspired from the inside out. My daughter, for instance, read a review of the book in preparation to writing her own, and had an ah-ha! moment when this other reviewer said that the writing "felt forced" (Becky). Interestingly, however, I have heard several middle-school students talk about this book, and they love it. So I'm discombobulated. I thought the Beatles references were just dumb, but they were intrigued by them. I thought there was nothing of Charles Dickens whatsoever in this book, but these students wanted to read Charles Dickens's books after reading this because they liked the character in the book. What we all agreed on is that the illustrations are excellent. So, to be candid, as I think back about the books I read growing up and what I would like were I in school today, I think this book would be well-liked by the maybe-then me. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/The-Bloody-Souvenir-Audiobook/B0045K5A60 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

( Kirkus Reviews) Members Reviews: Fantastic I gave this book five stars because for one thing it is one of the best books I've ever read ( and I've read more books than I can count ).Itch will move you and affect you in many ways like it has done for me. I recommend this book for EVERYONE who loves to read books that make you think (or who love a good read) Sweet story about a young girl and how she deals ... Sweet story about a young girl and how she deals with having to start a new life in a new area after losing her beloved grandpa. She meets another friend who she finds is hiding a dark secret in her life. Ahhhhh! Plot, characters, writing...all good. Can it really be that I'm the first to review this? A book about child abuse/objectification of children with believable characters and understandable, if icky, motives. The characters do what they have to do, so when the grandma moves to help, it's in an ill-thought out way that nonetheless is plausible for that person. Only the dad character was a little thin, but still worked. There were certain dialogues I found unlikely--that were then revealed to be exactly right in the next few pages. Oh, it's not all sorrow and tension. The author writes about girls being girls and a believable school/afterschool life. Her voice gives even mundane situations meaning. I believe the author truly cares about kids in abusive situations and understands them well, and that this book may give certain people the strength to give appropriate help. Love this book Love this book, it touches on serious subjects but is not light on humor! I laughed and laughed at Itch and her grandmother! A great read for adults as well! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/How-to-Write-Poetry-for-Teenagers-Audiobook/B075XF19SW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Wonderful YA book for children dealing with gender identity issues First I read Her Name Was Sam by Erin Lee and now Freak by Erin Lee. I loved Her Name Was Sam, so I really looked forward to this sequel. It's a sequel of sorts, but if you didn't read Sam, you'll be caught up by the beginning of this book. Readers find out what becomes of Sam in the soul of Willow. Willow more than fulfilled my fantasies of what Sam could have/should have been. This is a wonderful YA book for children dealing with gender identity issues in middle and high school and for the adults and siblings who love them. Don't be afraid of the issues, face them head on and talk about them. This is a book that will inspire much discussion. The author even provides open ended discussion questions to get readers to really think about how they would act if given the same experience. I wonder if I'd be a Willow or Willow's Mom or a Ryan or Ryan's parents? I'd like to think I'd do the right thing, think of what's inside a person more than what's outside and make the world a better place through understanding and acceptance. God does not make junk; thus we know that Sam, Ryan, Willow, Morgan, and all the characters of this well fleshed out, provocative story are not junk. Bravo for this read that must be shared. Some of my favorite books are YA books because it is between these pages that we can really feel and hear the urgency, insecurity, and intensity of the youthful years we can no longer live. A must read for all ages Wow Erin's writing is always hughly descriptive and engaging, and this book is no exception. The story of Sam and her family is haunting, beautiful, heartbreaking and confronting. It deals with the issues of gender identity and sexual orientation. The book is written from many POVs which gives you a greater understanding of all the emotions and feelings of the characters while drawing you into their world and teaching you some lessons along the way. In the second half of the book the story changes and you get to see and live through different perspectives on the same subject. I dont want to give any of the story away as I think you need to go into this story blind so to speak. So you learn and live story through the characters without any preconceived notuins of whats going to happen etc. This is a great highly emotionally charged story dealing with issues millions of ppl deal with on a daily basis. You may need tissues!!! Erin has written such a beautifully haunting story tgat will touch your heart and make you think. This is a must read for every human being! Amazing Reviewing for Sweet Southern Book Reviews by Skylar and Rena This story was amazing. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Minnas-Quest-Audiobook/B0036GRO1S Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Smart, Fast Paced Historical Horse Novel Minna's Quest is a fast paced, exciting novel about life in Britain during the end of the Roman Empire's rule. It's a smart novel aimed at middle school girls. The description of life at the fort and what it was like to be a Roman centurion was well done - blended into the story and it didn't feel like a history lesson. There were several words I had to look up and I feel like I have a pretty good vocabulary. Minna is a strong and smart heroine. Her love and devotion to Theo, the commander of the fort, is a little ridiculous and over the top but that's my only complaint about the book. I'm also not typically into horse books and almost didn't read it because of that, but I liked this one. There is a lot of devotion between Minna and her horse so horse lovers will be happy. There are two more books in the series which I plan on reading. The story concluded nicely so I'm not really sure where they will go from here. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Butterfly-Audiobook/B0032IY53A Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Butterfly Author: Sonya Hartnett Narrator: Rebecca Macauley Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 36 mins Language: English Release date: 01-01-10 Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Teens, Ages 11-13 Publisher's Summary: Here is a gripping, chilling, beautifully observed tale of what a teenage girl will do to keep her friends, by one of Australia's finest writers. Growing up during the 1980s in the safe complacency of the Australian suburbs, Plum Coyle should be happy. But on the cusp of her 14th birthday - and on the fringe of her peer group - she lives in terror of the disapproval of her cruel and fickle girlfriends and, most of all, she hates her awkward, changing body with a passion. Butterfly is a brilliant and beautifully written novel about the bonds of family, about growing up in suburbia, and about the terrifying vulnerability of early adolescence. It is about the costs of interfering in the lives of others, the consequences of being hurt, and, ultimately, it is about how we must all eventually leave childhood behind. Editorial Reviews: Butterfly, written by one of Australias leading young adult authors, Sonya Harnett, and admirably performed with undertones of sad longing by Rebecca Macauley, is the coming-of-age story about 14-year-old Plum Coyle, a shy and tentative girl who desperately wants to be liked and fit in with the other neighborhood girls. It is the new friendship Plum starts with Maureen, a wife and mother who Plum reveres, and whose own intentions are less than noble, that truly changes Plums life and outlook forever. A poignant, often heartbreaking tale about growing up. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Sonya Hartnett) Fri, 01 Jan 2010 23:36:35 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Butterfly-Audiobook/B0032IY53A thebookvoice.com 06:36:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Butterfly is a brilliant and beautifully written novel about the bonds of family, about growing up in suburbia, and about the terrifying vulnerability of early adolescence. It is about the costs of interfering in the lives of others, the consequences of being hurt, and, ultimately, it is about how we must all eventually leave childhood behind. Editorial Reviews: Butterfly, written by one of Australias leading young adult authors, Sonya Harnett, and admirably performed with undertones of sad longing by Rebecca Macauley, is the coming-of-age story about 14-year-old Plum Coyle, a shy and tentative girl who desperately wants to be liked and fit in with the other neighborhood girls. It is the new friendship Plum starts with Maureen, a wife and mother who Plum reveres, and whose own intentions are less than noble, that truly changes Plums life and outlook forever. A poignant, often heartbreaking tale about growing up. Members Reviews: A beautiful finely written story. When I ordered this book, I didn't realise it was written mainly for young adult readers. However I, as a much older adult reader, enjoyed it immensely. It is well written and the characters are easily believable. I think it would be an excellent choice for younger readers as it shows the journey of one young girl through adolescence. Creepy and cringey I am a Sonya Hartnett fan.. She writes best when she is slightly evil. And this book is evil. Lots of cringe moments and wondering esp the ending which .. well AAAAAAAAAAAAgh.. I loved it .. I give it 5 stars because this book is one of those super scary Australian spiders crawling on the wall sitting right next to your towel.. This is why I LOVE Sonya Hartnett Hartnett is a word artist, a master craftswoman of language and imagery. Page after page, I was astounded by her skill at drawing unusual parallels and metaphorical connections. Her gift is capitalizing on the complex nature of seemingly simple relationship quandaries. The dialogue is flawless, the pace perfect, the story engaging, and the resolution subtle and roomy for personal interpretion. I recommend for ages 16 and up. Five Stars Item was purchased for one of our schools Stilted overly-descriptive prose, Not For Me This book is a YA coming-of-age story but it read more like adult literature. There are definite adult themes, and the descriptions that go on and on and on would probably be off-putting to teens (I know they were to me). When I started Butterfly I almost thought it was going to have a paranormal twist. Reading the summary made me suspect that, and then when I started it and it seemed to be in another world, I was getting confused. The story is set in the 1970s or 1980s (it never says but that's what I suspect based on references to pop culture). Plum, whose real name is Ariella, is as awkward as could be, and I felt sorry for her the whole time. Her story brought me back to my own awkward years---memories which I try to keep suppressed. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Blood-Trail-Audiobook/B003155DZ8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Booklist) Members Reviews: "She sliced at my forearms and squirmed away from me and stabbed me in the gut again." Aaron, and his friend Jeremy "Booger" Davis, are clowning around at the local swimming hole when Aaron confesses that he's afraid of going home, as he's afraid of his brother Nathan. Jeremy is surprised, but Aaron won't go into any details. But afterwards, when they get to Aaron's house, Aaron asks Jeremy to call him in ten minutes, but when Jeremy does call, either nobody answers, or he is told by Nathan that Aaron isn't there. Worried he tries to go to Aaron's house, but the police arrive before he gets there. It turns out that Aaron is dead, and he's been the victim of a brutal murder, and Nathan is covered with Aaron's blood. As the story progresses we realize that despite any impression that we might have gotten, this is not crime story, nor is it a murder mystery. It's more of post-crime novella, as the majority of Nancy Springer's story deals with how a young man deals with the aftereffects of his friend's death, how he deals with his family, and how he reacts to the town's backlash, as the town's people blame him for his statements against Nathan. And there will be some serious backlash, as the town decides that they would rather blame the victim, and Jeremy, instead of accepting the fact that they may have a murderer amongst them. As the novella progresses, Jeremy will have to come to the realization the fact that he knows that the brutal murderer is just who he thinks that it is. This is a good young adult drama that involves a brutal murder, but does not wallow or indulge in gore, violence, or profanity. With lots of white space and large lettering this book is just a little too short for me, but I'm not the target audience, but young readers should like it, and it can be used as a basis for a family discussion. That, and it's graced with a great wraparound cover by Jonathan Barkat that isn't just ornamental, but actually illustrates something in this novella.

Members Reviews: This is a great addition to my Walter Dean Myers set This is a great addition to my Walter Dean Myers set. My students loved it. It arrived on time as well in the perfect package. Five Stars Awesome book! Dream Keeper There are some problems for a kid growing up in New York, especially for David! The Dream Bearer has received many reviews including ALA booklist and School Library Journal. The author, Walter Dean Myers has written many other books such as, Bad Boy: a Memoir, Handbook for Boys, and Patrol. He also won the 1994 ALA Margaret A. Edwards award and the 1994 ALAN award. The Dream Bearer is a book about a kid growing up in New York. The Dream Bearer is a meaningful book by an award winning author. David lives with his mom, dad, and brother in an apartment in New York. His brother, Ty is leaving and coming home late. When the police come, David suspects he's doing drugs. When David and his best friend Loren go to the park, they meet an old man named Mr. Moses who claims he's a dream bearer. David's father, Reuben, who most people think is crazy, is angry when he hears about Mr. Moses. Then, Mr. Moses gets sick so David and Loren save him, but soon after, someone else needs saving. The Dream Bearer has characters that are so believable. I liked that David was accepted to a private school because he's smart and he beat two other people with Loren in 2 on 2 because he's good at sports. It proves that you can be good at more than one thing. I also liked that David didn't think his dad was crazy when others do, it proves he's believing. David's mom is also very caring and nice. The characters in this book are terrific. I also liked the setting of this book because it was so real and imaginable. The author describes how the Hudson River was dirty and gross. He also described that the city had old, run down buildings. I could really picture that! I could also tell it was real because he uses street names to describe where they are. I also liked how he described the park. I could really picture the setting. I think The Dream Bearer is a good book because of the characters and setting. The author uses detail on the characters and setting so I can picture it. I would recommend this book to someone who wants a book that's not that funny or suspenseful, but still keeps your attention. This book has a very interesting cover and description that just screams "READ ME!" It is a little slow in the beginning, but gets better. This realistic fiction book's message is that you shouldn't judge people because they can be someone you'd never expect if you look hard enough, even in their dreams! Reviewing The Dream Bearer The Dream Bearer was my first exposure to Walter Dean Meyers, and I will continue to read his work. In this novel, the main character, David, is the heart of his family. His older brother becomes involved with drugs, his father battles a mental illness, and his mother is scared for everyone. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/A-Fine-White-Dust-Audiobook/B002V8LG4S Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Amazing piece of work Rate it a five star Love it. This book is dramatic and wonderful the best I've read so far and forever more Four Stars Fantastic mentor text teachers! I wouldn't recommend this book -- there are SO MANY much better ones out there This is a weak and troubling story -- why waste time on it when there is so much better literature out there? As Henry David Thoreau said, "Read the best books first, or you may not get the chance to read them at all." I will make a few suggestions at the end of my review. As to this story: Pete has distant, un-involved parents, and therein lies the crux of the problem. Pete's parents apparently once got burned by religion (something they will not discuss with him) so they won't attend church with Pete or discuss his ideas about religion (a HUGE parenting mistake). As a result, Pete gets drawn far too obsessively into the idea that nothing matters in life but religion. He is clearly a lonely person in need of real human relationship, and as a parent pre-reading this book for my teen sons, it was painful to read how disconnected Pete was from his parents. Then a charlatan revival Preacher Man comes to town: Pete immediately gets sucked in by the Preacher Man's charisma, and since Pete's adoration feeds the Preacher Man's ego, the Preacher Man ENCOURAGES Pete to run away from home and leave town with him! Omg! Any adult reading this book is going to immediately believe the Preacher Man is a pedophile, and, again, it is painful to read as Pete makes his preparations to run away. (I was literally groaning to myself as I read.) Pete's religious values are not very deep if he doesn't see any conflict with lying to his parents and leaving home without getting their permission or even telling them! The most decent thing Preacher Man does is to not show up at the rendezvous point and take Pete with him as promised -- which, of course, devastates Pete. Pete feels the Preacher man betrayed him (this novel is marketed as a story about betrayal) and never seems to realize that he got a lucky break when the Preacher Man stood him up! Indeed, the only possible indication that God is ever really present in this story is the fact that the Preacher Man had a change of heart and didn't actually take Pete with him. With respect to that idea, the author lost a wonderful teaching moment by not even suggesting that possibly the REAL God/Jesus -- who otherwise appears to be completely absent from the story -- might, in fact, have been in control of the situation all along, waiting quietly to step forward and save the day. Pete is left wondering if "God had a real purpose in allowing the Preacher Man to hurt me so much," but never considers that maybe he should be thanking God that God stepped in to ensure he didn't actually run away or leave with Preacher Man. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Part-of-Me-Audiobook/B002V8DHJA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Critic Reviews: "An affecting, engaging family story, uniquely told." (Booklist) Members Reviews: Great read! I got this book because I had heard the first sentence, and had to know what the rest of the book was. This book got into my head, and I thought about it off and on for a few days after reading it. It is now passing through my class like wildfire, and each of my kids who has gotten it, has loved it. The main character, Dulcie, is going through hard times and has suffered some loss, but she is a strong minded character and gets through it, helping others along the way. Well written, realistic characters. Meh Wasn't too interested in the book but that doesn't mean you wouldn't be...everyone has their own tastes! Thought it would be a good book for my 11 year old, but not interested. Defining Dulcie A wonderful story and very popular with my students. Our class book group plans on reading this book next month. Raves for Defining Dulcie Working in a high school library affords me the enviable privilege of "checking out" those volumes that attract my interest. Some of them, quite a few, in fact, find themselves reshelved after I've read only a few pages or a couple of chapters. Defining Dulcie by Paul Campora was NOT one of those. It is a story of a teenage girl and her mother who are forced to come to terms with the accidental and tragic death of their father/husband. Each of the family members deals with his/her loss in different ways, and that's where the rub comes in. Defining Dulcie is written with intelligence, wit, and heart and describes a family, torn by grief, but held together by strong bonds of love, respect and a sense of honor and humor. The language is clean, the dialogue sparse, but sparkling. Defining Dulcie was written with sensitivity and insight, and I can recommend it without reservation. Sad novel that offers a feeling of hope for the future Dulcie's father, a janitor, just died. Her mother decides to move her and Dulcie cross country to California from Connecticut. As soon as Dulcie steps foot in CA, she knows that's not where she belongs. She steals her mother's truck and makes her way back to Newbury, to her grandfather and her home. Dulcie's grandfather, Frank, lets her come back and work for him, without pay, as punishment for worrying her mother when she left. Frank has already hired another helper, Roxanne. Soon, Roxanne and Dulcie become friends. When Dulcie and Frank discover the truth about Roxanne's relationship with her abusive mother, they have to figure out a way to help her. When I first picked up this book, I thought it would be a sad story about death and moving on. It was sad, but the novel also had a feeling of hope and looking towards the future. Aside from death, Defining Dulcie also dealt with serious issues like abuse. This book was pretty good, especially for a debut novel. I'll be looking forward to reading more books by the author.

I loved the old cattlemen and how they treated their new cowhand. Conversations flowed easily and I felt like I was sitting around the campfire with them, ever so often. I love to learn new things and was exposed to more information from this era. As a fan of Larry McMurtry's writing, I must say I enjoyed this enough to look for more work from author Martin. I'm thrilled to see more stories out on Amazon about the Old West. Keep em comin'. Martin is by far my favorite author. I have read his books for the ... L. J. Martin has done it again. Taken me to the west in a story that is so well written and developed, L.J. Martin is by far my favorite author. I have read his books for the last two decades. I don't want to ruin the story for anyone. But trust me,even if I gave you a play by play, you would still enjoy every second of The Way of the West. Way of the West is a page turner. I read it strait through. Great book, I enjoyed it a great deal and you will too! Entertaining short story that brings life in the Old West alive! Entertaining short story that puts you in the middle of a cattle run with a cast of interesting characters. Poor Wilbur, newest and youngest member of the crew charged with moving the cattle, gets his share of hazing! He also learns a thing or two--and so did I reading this story filled with colorful language, details about life of a cowhand, and bits of wisdom part of this author's take on the way of the West. Enjoyable! Five Stars Five Stars Good Plot, very descriptive and excellent character profile A Trail Drive Makes the Man in this short Novel. He was the bossâs son and a bit spoiled, but that didnât stop the ribbing. It was in good fun and it didnât take long for anger to turn to camaraderie, but nothing is cheap and the place with the seasoned men on a cattle trail drive is earned. A story that stops too quickly and a fun read.

Members Reviews: A must read The first few chapters suck you in, as everyone can remember a bully from their own grade school years. Chrissi is a relatable character, in that she is hiding a big secret about herself. Most of us have a trait we would change, and Chrissj struggles to master her curse. As these unlikely teens embark on a journey of self discovery and faith building, they learn to work as a team. Five Stars This is a great YA book. A fun, clean adventure with a bit of mystery intertwined. Five Stars Great book, impatiently awaiting book two. GREAT BOOK! I truly enjoyed reading this book. The story is amazing and the characters have depth. The layers in this story are incredible. It starts out contemporary and then fantasy elements trickle in and I loved how the author did that. And toward the end you can see so many themes in this book that will carry over into the rest of the series I'm sure. I really, really like where the writing is going. The Christian elements are a blessing and are seamlessly a part of the story and not shoved in unnaturally. I really like Chrissi and her mom. Their relationship is real and loving, which is awesome to see in YA. The supporting characters are also very realistic. We get see their growth and questions as if we are right there with them! I can't wait to read the next book and see how everything advances in both realms! Plus, I absolutely loved the reference to the TV show Roswell. It is still my favorite tv series to this date! So bonus points!!! Lol This story is beautifully written. And the contemporary With a single touchâeverything decays. Her gloves are the only thing that separates life from death. Chrissi Camden is her name. Curse? Or gift? Only King Roi (RAW-EE) knows. The only way to find him, to find her answer, Chrissi must embark on a spiritual journey. However, she is not alone on her path to truth and discovery. Three of her peers accompany her along the way. One of them being her archenemy. Will this sect of chosen teens find their way to the king, the one who holds the answers to all their questions? Most importantly, will they survive the journey to him? This story is beautifully written. And the contemporary, classic tone makes it all the more captivating. The Reconciling is a must read for those who are seeking an adventurous, mysterious, and fantastical read. Not to mention the elements of hope and faith weaved throughout the pages.

Members Reviews: The not so fun, freaky club game "Black Magic" and the evil it brings to the students of Bridgewater High will curl your hair! Josh was having nightmares that were totally freaking him out. They started out great as he imagined himself as the star of the Bridgewater High football team at the championship game. One kick and they'd win, but as soon as he pulled his foot back to kick the ball . . . well, let's just say it was totally freaky. Heck, he probably wouldn't even make the team and as the new kid in town from New York he was getting more than his share of bullying from linebacker Ned Onager. When he thought about it, he asked himself, "How come someone so mean and stupid was the one who had so much talent on the football field?" Geez, at least Sabina Lawson asked him to join her friends at lunch. Sabina wore black clothes, pink hair, and was "one of the smartest girls in school" and Josh really appreciated the invite. It turned out that everyone at the table had someone that irked them half to death, including Sabina. Dan and Jackson didn't have Ned tossing their lunch trays in their laps, but Mark's drunken stepfather didn't sound very appealing either. Sabina invited them all over to her house to check out an ancient game she'd found at her house called "Black Magic." Sabina's ancient old house at the end of Sparrow Drive was holding a deep dark secret that would soon make their problems seem petty . . . very petty. There weren't any instructions to the game, but the gang would figure it out. Spell cards. Crystal. No sweat. Someone who had played the game long ago had written down a few instructions: "Choose one of those special spells. Think of someone who has wronged you. You will reverse the force of evil and send good spirits your way." Josh became unsettled when he saw a girl crying inside the crystal, but he quickly put that vision aside when some seriously good stuff started to happen to all of them within a few days. They'd all been chillin' with the game and flying high with all the good things happening. Josh for one was thrilled that he'd made the team, but none of them really noticed what was written in the corner of the board, or if they did they were ignoring it. "Beware all who play. Death awaits." Sabina had put her hex on Lindsey, her chem lab partner who never did her share of the work. Lazy Lindsey had been sent to the hospital with a little case of the hives, but when they got there her mother was outside her room screaming, "It's tearing holes through her. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Jump-Cut-Audiobook/B071F9MS5P Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Awesome book I have read ink me before this book.I finished the novel in one day(I had allot of reading time today)wish there was more to read.great book. Mafia & Movie Stars This is the fifth book I've read in this series and, while I'm highly pleased with series as a whole, at this time I can fairly say this has been my favourite title to date and may be the best in the whole series. I do still have Shane Peacock's entry to read, though, so I'll reserve final judgement till then. Hooked from the beginning, this is a classic tale of boy's adventure. The main character is 17yo film director wannabe Spencer and his quest from the Grandfather involves filming his task. Filmmaking, movies, the "pictures" is a major theme here and the book reads as if it is a movie. Pure action from start to finish, with admittedly over-the-top events accumulating on top of one another. One has to suspend belief for this tale, but it is obvious the author has written the plot like this on purpose as real life is compared and contrasted to movies frequently. Involving hidden secrets from the past, drug deals, bikers, mafia and a race against time, I found this story to be both exciting and good fun. The events of this and Ink Me are tied to one another, in that what is happening in one affects the plot of the other, but this is conveyed to the brothers through texts and it won't matter which one you read first. Though having already read Ink Me, I completely understood what was happening with that aspect of this plot. It's wonderful to read a book where you love all the characters and here I certainly did, right down to the dog, Mistah Bones. And GL, the grandma? Let me say, everybody is going to want to go out and get themselves a 90yo grandma after meeting her. Staunton is a new author for me. I've only just read his latest book "Who I'm Not" and look forward to his further ventures in Young Adult action/suspense. Teen filmmakers and others will enjoy Orca's The Seven Series gives us seven authors each writing the story of one of David McLean's grandsons. During the reading of David's will, four of his daughters and six of his grandsons learn that David left letters instructing each grandson to complete a task. At the same time, they learn there was another daughter and another grandson. A family tree showing David's descendents and the book covers in which each is the protagonist, and a map showing where each grandson will travel, are good additions in the front of the book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/The-Jilted-Bride-A-Footnote-to-Cinderellas-Happiness-Audiobook/B06XZZQVRN Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Al Cassidy knows just how to capture a person's imagination! I, too, could not wait to get into Linhurst and unlock the secrets of the past. Finding out electrified me! To have all this excitement in the mix of a well balanced, close family and a group of typical teenagers heightened the contrast between good and evil, compassion and cruelty, justice and injustice. If you are looking for a fascinating book, here it is! Very entertaing... I really enjoyed this book! I could not wait to find out the ending! Having a grandmother who worked as a nurse at the real Pennhurst School, I could relate to parts of the story. Thanks Al for writting such an entertaining book and for bringing the issue of mental illness to young ones. I hope you are working on more books! No Regrets Great book! Fun story! Kids and adults would both like this! It was great. The characters were well developed and believable I finished the book. It was great. The characters were well developed and believable. The story line held my interest and had me anxious to see how it ended. I loved that you included so many local interest items i.e. the power plant, ex. Pennhurst (Linhurst) residents in town,... Your book was easy to read and had a delightful story line. I really enjoyed Freeing Linhurst I really enjoyed Freeing Linhurst. Love the illustrations! Jack's doggedness to find the truth held my interest to the end. In addition to being easy to read fiction, the real-life story about how we care(d) for those in our society with mental illness is educational, especially for our youth.

Older teens (or mature younger teens) and adults will love this sci-fi book. This book is what would happen if Judy Blume decided to write a sci-fi book featuring BatMan, Edward Cullen and Hermione...and yeah, it sounds weird, but trust me that it's the best of all worlds! The characters are relatable and like-able. Each character brings some mystery and intrigue to the story, making you want to know more about each one. An unlikely group of 6, the characters find ways to work together and by the end of book 1 a team is beginning to emerge. I can't wait to read more books in the series! I love the YA twist on superheros I was really excited to read this book. I love the YA twist on superheros, it's unique and makes superheros more interesting to me. I also like the format of the book being broken in to short stories that are intertwined. The characters are great, my favorite is Rachel, and you can see the interpersonal dynamics at play with this fledgling group. I am eagerly, and bs somewhat impatiently, waiting for the next volume to be released to get more information about the mysteries behind this group. Good Light hearted read, Story telling reminiscent of the comics from the 70s and 80s. The book reminds me of the comics from the 80's. The characters are predictable, little or no developed character, the powers are granted by their psychie, and the powers are a result from a chemical accident. The book consists of different stories, each a semi-focus on one character, which is how the character and their motives are described, as well as what life is like for them in High School (which I think is the most fun of the book). I could present you with each character and why the story is, but, why in a book like this? It is light escapism, an easy read, and enjoyable for those of us who were alive when Spiderman #1 came out and remember Steve Dikto's comic characters (which these remind me a lot of), or those young enough to not have been born before the world trade center was hit on 9/11. It doesn't pretend to be Shakespeare not does it pretend to be Clancy, it is exactly what it appears. I will buy the sequel as long as they keep with the same flavor as this book. Super good read (request submitted by Aurora Zahni (author) for an honest critique) When Aurora asked me to read Apathetic Avengers, I counted the days until the superhero book was in my greedy, little hands. Aurora knows I love comic/superheroes so he was confident I would enjoy this book... which I did. How could you not like these group of super teens. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Towering-Pines-Volume-One-Room-509-Audiobook/B01HDWB2U4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Liam Rider's star quickly falls, as he finds military school to be far more than he had bargained for. He finds the cadets harsh and abrasive; and the staff less than welcoming.

She is assigned to help him acclimate to his new surroundings in the middle of a semester, and he quickly realizes that she is the only friend he has at the school. And when he begins having disturbing dreams of kids killing each other and seeing people in his room that aren't really there, he enlists her help to find out why no one has been assigned to room 509 for 20 years - and why he is being tormented by the ghosts of cadets past. Suddenly pulled into the past of the historic school by nightmares of his own suicide, Liam and Lisbeth are catapulted forward into a secretive society of a long history of ghosts, suicide, and murder.

Members Reviews: Not really my thing, but it's good The story is good, if you're into this type of book. Mystical stuff is not my bag, so it wasn't a great fit for me personally. But I'll say that it's well written, the characters are developed very well. You feel for the the protagonist and his plight. The romantic angle is played out well. The narrator was fine. He did justice to the material. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Ghost-Boy-Volume-1-Audiobook/B01HDRYYS6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: An ok read It was all I could do not to jump through the pages and strangle Sam. Near the end of the book, I understood her a bit better......but man is she daft! Of course, I think that was the whole point, so good on ya! Now I have to read book 3! Annoyed I like the story line..but honestly the female lead really gets on my nerves....its hard to like her...she has grieved for 10 years for her friend and the miraculously reunites with him and suddenly he is not good enough?. He can't help what happened to him. And frankly I finder her to he selfish and whiney and weak...and now she has put both their lives in danger cause she is being a brat.....not sure if I have patience to continue with this story.... Super natural superness really not as great as the first book, but intense and entertaining enough to get 4 stars out of me. Sam is taken to a whole new world of shape-shifters, and creatures only one would find in fantasies and folklore. she is forced to make a life-changing decision and finds herself in a deeper amount of trouble than what she's used to. plenty of twists and turns in this to keep you interested. eager to get to book 3. beauty & the beast I didn't see this change coming. In the first book I thought ok we have a romantic but tragic love story like in Twilight but then it shifts & becomes a modern day Beauty & the Beast love story. Don't be fooled the beast is not necessarily the hideous looking one. I can't wait to see how this ends! I am hanging. LOve it. This is the second to the series, you have to read the first to understand whats happening. But I was and I am hooked. Loving the suspense and what will happen to them all in the end. Sam and Elliot still struggling to find their way. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Ennara-and-the-Book-of-Shadows-Audiobook/B01EKKEE66 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Four Stars Good book A Solid Sequel, But A Bit "Magicky" In the first book in this series we met our heroine, Ennara, and her band of friends, and set off on an interesting, suspenseful, and very well imagined quest. Ennara is marked as a "special" magical eleven year old with a mysterious but ambiguously prophesied destiny. The book was well paced and full of action and adventure. In this second book Ennara, now thirteen, is a student at the Druidic Academy, studying various forms of magic. But, Ennara commands dark magic, not the light, and her presence at the Academy unnerves and frightens some. She meets resistance from some teachers and students, and her place in the magical world remains uncertain. As a consequence of this setup we get a fair amount of Druid politics, and early on we get some mean girl and Professor Snape-type scenes that feel a bit undercooked. Not to worry, though, because once Ennara is reunited with the full crew from the first book, and once suspicious accidents start dogging Ennara, (a killer turtle, zombie flowers), the book gets back up to speed. Shortly thereafter magical artifacts disappear, the Dark begins rising again, and the game is afoot. As before, all of the heroes have their roles to play. Everyone, including some especially fun supporting characters, gets some page time. And, we even have a slight touch of romance to add a little sizzle to the tale. We do, also, get a lot of magic, including some very advanced magic. This is not one of those books where everyone just waves around wands and mumbles. Different magics do different things, the magic has to be done right, Ennara is still learning, objects have odd properties, and so on. As a consequence, while this is a fine book for fantasy/quest readers, it does have a bit of a learning curve and takes magic and the world's magic system seriously. For readers who like their magic served with a bit of detail and rigor this is a plus. As before, the book wraps up with a satisfying ending that leaves the door open for more. It's not a cliffhanger, just a cliff suggester, so there might be a third, and if not there is enough closure here to not leave a reader wondering. I always think that's a nice way to handle a series like this. So, it was good to follow Ennara and her friends again. Fans of the first book should not be disappointed. Newcomers could start here; there's enough recapitulating to get them into the flow without having read Book One. Again, a nice touch, and a very solid read overall. (Please note that I received a free advance ecopy of this book in exchange for a candid review. Apart from that I have no connection at all to either the author or the publisher of this book.) things are not looking good. Ennara feels disconnected to her professors We return to the story of Ennara a year later in the second book written by Angela Myron. Ennara is now away from home and is studying at the Academy of Magic. However, things are not looking good. Ennara feels disconnected to her professors.

DeVane Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Teens, Ages 11-13 Publisher's Summary: Mary-Esther Sloat is a woman with a patchwork past: three failed marriages, misspent youth, and a series of dead-end jobs. When she attempts to donate a kidney to her dying mother, she learns a life-altering truth: Loretta Boudreau Day is not her biological mother. After Loretta dies, Hurricane Katrina destroys Mary-Esther's only tie to New Orleans: her beloved Nana's house. For a while, Mary-Esther lives in a battered Chevy van. Armed with a faded birth certificate, she finally corrals the courage to unravel the mystery of her birth at a small hospital in the panhandle of Florida. When she finds the site of the hospital, she is dismayed to learn it now houses the Gadsden County Sheriff's office. Sergeant Jerry Blount befriends Mary-Esther and helps her locate a retired nurse who once worked at the small hospital. After meeting with the senior in a nearby assisted-living facility, Mary-Esther visits the county courthouse to research records for children born on the same date. She discovers a baby girl with a similar last name, Sarah Davis of Chattahoochee, a small town in the same county. Hattie Davis Lewis lives with her husband Holston and adopted child Sarah Chuntian Lewis in the old family homestead three miles south of Chattahoochee. She often thinks of her older sister, a child also named Sarah who died shortly after birth. Hattie's older brother Bobby Davis, his wife, and son live nearby on the family land. Bobby battles his own demons that threaten his hard-won sobriety. Mary-Esther camps out in her van at a lake near Chattahoochee, hesitant at first to confront the family she suspects to be her own. Instead of welcoming arms, Mary-Esther finds a clannish community and a brother determined to keep her from claiming her birthright.

Members Reviews: Separated at birth For me this is a story of transformation, or perhaps resurrection in a personal sense. It does not happen over night. Adjustments, change, accepting the past for what it was and living in the present come with struggle, set backs and lots of compassionate help. This book includes all of those and more. The story begins after Mary-Esther Sloats life crumbles around her. She has cared for the only family members she knew, her beloved grandmother and the woman she thought was her mother until they both die. Then the city of New Orleans is ground to mud in the catastrophic flood in the aftermath of hurricane Katrina. Adding to that she has married three times, each time ending in disaster. She is a homeless, shattered, broken down woman, now in her fifties with little energy for rebuilding a new life. She takes to the road with no particular destination in mind. It is fall 2006 when the story opens. Mary-Esther has arrived in the small town of Chattahoochee, Florida. She has been living out of her car for over a year and is now running out of money. She is sleep deprived, filthy, and hungry. Out of curiosity, she has decided to try to find her biological family based on her birth certificate listing a hospital in Chattahoochee. Full disclosure, I now live in this area and the descriptions of places Ive come to know and the people in this area are spot on. I must add that the descriptions of food left my mouth watering. I also learned things about the area I did not know before. This undoubtedly added some to my enjoyment of the book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Dani-and-the-Haunted-House-Audiobook/B01D1S03HC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The fire! Would they make it out alive? What does Jill Cofsky bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Ms. Cofsky keeps the characters speech distinctly different and her tone is a joy to listen to. She really brings the story to life. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Members Reviews: Great follow-up Okay, this was a great follow-up to the Nick side-plot from the last book. Again, listened to this as an audio. I'm glad Nick could finally find his match. A very cute story. I loved it. Same Characters, Much Different Plot If you could sum up Changed? in three words, what would they be? Unique, Cute, and Captivating. This book, along with all of Dana's grabbed my attention, and I'm not even a big contemporary fan! Who was your favorite character and why? My favorite character altogether was Nick, as he was definitely not my favorite character in the first book, but his character development has been major, positive, and majorly positive. Which character as performed by Brittany Morgan Williams was your favorite? My favorite character when narrated was definitely Summer, and I know that reading it and not hearing emotions in her voice would have made me imagine Summer's character much different. Same characters, great new story! What did you love best about Changed?? I loved that we got to see Nick again, and watch him grow. What did you like best about this story? My favorite thing was that Summer was strong and independent and her own girl. She was not JUST about Nick and liking him. She made up her mind and made him wait! What does Brittany Morgan Williams bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Her voice was great for this story If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Is Nick only changing to get the girl? Any additional comments? A fun book that was full of cute twists and chracters Adorable story but issues with audio I received a free copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest, unbiased review. Story: In Changed?, it was really interesting to see the aftermath of the "other guy" (Nick) from Just Pretending and learn more about his side of the story (especially concerning the issues that caused Cam to stop liking him in the first place). I loved how despite the fact this was not told in his POV, it covered different issues from the first book while also making Nick a likable character who I was really rooting for. While I wouldn't necessarily call him the antagonist of Just Pretending, for lack of a better term, I loved that this really showed how the antagonist is the protagonist of their own story and despite how things might seem on the surface, there is always more than one side to every story. Plus, I thought the friendship and subsequent romance between Nick and Summer was not only very sweet but I loved the deviation from that all too typical formula of drama = misunderstanding = break-up = get back together at the last possible second. Performance: Honestly, there was a serious issue with the audio of this audiobook. For some reason, multiple times throughout the audiobook a sentence would be read and then immediately part or all of that sentence would be repeated. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/HELP-ME-Audiobook/B01B3M9TUA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: I liked it because it read like a personal journal from ... Help Me! by Donna M. Zadunajsky was a very interesting read. I liked it because it read like a personal journal from the the first point of view of the main characters. I'm a huge fan of journaling, so the writing style felt voyeuristic. It was avant-garde in a sense that the writing style is not what I am used to reading in a book. It's like reading a book on social media. As the reader, you're taken into the private thoughts and experiences of two main characters. Mick is suicidal and depressed after losing his best friend to suicide. Layla is Mick's new best friend that he acquires after he moves to his father's home following the loss of his late best friend. We get to see the perspectives of teenage life, love and friendship through the thoughts of Mick and Layla. I like the interchanging approach to the chapters so that we can see the point of views from both characters and know what they're both thinking and feeling within each scene that plays out. We're not left with many questions as both main characters cover their own thoughts and emotions, themselves, without leaving it to a third narrator's POV. The style is unique. Therefore, it made it feel personal. Overall, it was a fast paced, good read. I hope that there's more to come. ~~Felicia Johnson, Author of "HER" Read this book rn!! I love this book i know so many people that are close to me and that are like mick and blame themselves everyday for what has happened to them or what happened to others. I used to be so depressed and negative because I thought I caused my parents divorce but I don't think like that anymore I'm pretty much happy. Tons of teens will understand this book and it really does hit home.... At least for some people Good Suspense Ms. Zadunajsky did a great job with the suspense in this book and gave a few surprise plot twists at the end of the book. I didn't have trouble wanting to turn the page. There was a little repetitive part in the middle, but the suspense pulled through. Great message. For a full review, please visit ivereadthat.novelblogs.com Relatable I have never read a book that I have connected to so well. I wound read this book over and over and over. It is the best book by far that I have EVER read! Quick read. What an emotional read. I could not put it down. Read it in a couple of hours. Makes me think of a couple of kids I used to know. Very sad. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Alcatraz-Versus-the-Shattered-Lens-Audiobook/B01AAWTDVY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Lucy Dillow, daughter of the local pastor, enjoys her days of ministering to Hawaii's friendly people and teaching their young in a simple one-room schoolhouse. When the order arrives to evacuate because of the uncertainty of the volcano, she decides to stay behind with her family in case they are needed, and to keep a journal of the volcano's activity. She doesn't expect to butt heads with a handsome rancher over the danger involved. Jack Garrison is ranching land passed down from generation to generation. When the volcano threatens to blow, he refuses to leave his cattle to perish. Instead, he works to save them, herding them as far away from the volcano as possible. Once his livelihood is safe, he turns to helping those who need him; namely the beautiful daughter of a missionary who challenges everything he believes in. This unlikely couple join forces as part of a team to warn the villagers of impending danger and find themselves falling in love despite the odds against them. Can they survive nature's fury and each other's differences in order to forge a future together? biacuaduc@gmail.com (Cynthia Hickey) Tue, 22 Dec 2015 13:22:52 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/The-Ranchers-Dilemma-A-Story-of-the-1924-Kilauea-Volcano-Audiobook/B019N4S6IG thebookvoice.com 04:18:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Sweet story Sweet story. The narrator sounded like she was trying to get the story told in double time. She didn't pause for sentence endings or thoughts. At first I didn't think I could listen or I would be out of breath keeping up. But I got used to it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/The-Rainbow-Man-Audiobook/B01A7AWGOU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Daniel, Jill, and Greg are the best of friends...peas in a pod....three musketeers....they are lucky to have one another living on such a small and secluded island like they do. An innocent stroll on the beach after a wicked storm changes things though, and not just about their friendship, but about everything on the whole island. Daniel, Jill, Greg, and Daniel's little brother Mikey go out to the beach to see what the storm may have washed up on shore. What they find is anything but usual, it is a man...what looks to be a dead man. When Daniel suddenly sees the man's eyes flash all the colors of the rainbow he tries to logically think it away as a reflection of the rainbow that seems to have led him to find the man. Soon Daniel knows something about this John Dee is not as it seems or should be. Quickly everyone loves him and seems to think only he knows what is right. Good things start to happen on the island, so they all think John is good luck. Daniel knows the truth and sees John for what he really is, but how can he get anyone to believe him when John seems to be so helpful? Soon Daniel is in the fight for the island peoples' lives and is desperately trying to get Jill and Greg back on his side. Will he get the help from his friends that he needs to find out what or who John Dee really is? Will it be in time to save the island and it's people? Will Daniel really want to accept the truth of John if and when he does find it? This book was a very easy and quick read for me. It was really easy to get in to and was a book that once you started to read you were wanting to not stop until you could finish it. I just loved the way things unrolled, but there was still more than enough questions in your mind that you just had to read more. Every time I thought I may have the answer I was quickly proven wrong as I read on. The plot was one to suck you in from page one all the way to the ending page. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Watch-Me-Teen-Paranormal-Romance-Audiobook/B017TH6D4S Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Nothing ever changes, and no one really has a choice. The future is what it is, and Chloe accepted that a long time ago. Then her sisters convince her to try changing her future. When she succeeds, the black and white certainty she's always had vanishes. It turns blurry with infinite possibilities she can barely distinguish, and everything she ever expected to happen is lost. Only Sebastian's future gives clues about what's coming, and it's filled with images of blood and death.

Members Reviews: Satisfying The end book of this YA trilogy couldn't be better. Through romance, high school ennui, and tragedy we watch the triplets come to terms with their gifts and mature, and learn to be adults with gifts they control, that don't control them. I truly loved this series. Doing a British accent w Bastian's character I really liked the suspense of this book. I would like to know if anyone else felt it necessary to do a British voice in there head for Bashtian"s character. I truly enjoyed this book LOVED IT! LOVED Watch Me! Really liked the entire series, but Watch Me was definitely my favorite! Would do just about anything for a Chloe / Sebastian spin off. :p The choices we have The third book of the Matlin girlsâ trilogy was about Chloe the triplet who sees the future. The story continues with the boyfriends issues and most important, a vision of betrayal that disrupt Chloeâs life. She tried to change the future with the help of her friends and when things got worse she began to have second thoughts about her gift. She didnât understand what was happening with her gift. When she realized that the odd friend, Bastian, was an important piece of the puzzle she saw a different future for her sisters and her friends and that was very scary. This YA story was more complex that the first two books. They got better with each book. Chloe worked around the choices that life offers and what people choose. Life was not black and white as her grandmother explained to her and she must learn to open her mind to the odds and work with them. Liked the author writing style, the characters, the teens drama and the theme. I found the story very interesting with a development that appeals both adults and young. Definitely, Iâll be looking for more books from this author. Received the ARC for an honest review. This Trilogy is ASTOUNDING! I can always count on Angela Fristoe to deliver a quick and entertaining read! This series has been no exception, with every book even better than the last (which never seems possible going into things!) The Matlin triplets have been really made for an engaging and ORIGINAL series, with each book following one of them. Lie to me, book 1, follows Phoebe and her ability to hear lies. Book 2, Heal Me, follow Lily and her gift to heal. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Charlie-MacCready-The-Ghost-in-the-Attic-Audiobook/B017HTCBU8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Great Read! I didn't really know what to expect at first. I'm not much on ghost stories and was a little afraid of what would go on in an orphanage. What a surprise! This is an interesting story of boys being boys while living under the loving guidance of the good monks. There are some mysteries and a few just plain mean doings but it all comes together in the end. The narration was very good, some parts keep you on the edge of your seat.

Members Reviews: Good clean shivery fun Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes, for a pre-teen, this is fun material, and well performed in the audio reading. Have you listened to any of Douglas W. Taylors other performances before? How does this one compare? He's really good. Very well suited to "shivery" material. All his books seem to be full of fright or zombies. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes, I did. Any additional comments? I love that I can adjust the speed of the audio reading on my Kindle Fire. Then I can either enjoy all of the nuances of the story and voices -- or speed it up a little if I want to get to the next chapter before dinner(!) https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Stampy-Cat-Disappears-Audiobook/B0160BCXE8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: The story was ok but some sentences didn't make sense I don't think the author checked the story and it's word choices before letting other readers read the book. Other then that the story was good. But one more thing, it was kind of confusing when the different people were talking.

Witty, insightful, very well illustrated better potential than how it is executed here Book by John Agard I was really looking forward to Book by John Agard (writer) and Neil Packer (illustrator), but to be honest, I found this autobiography told from âBookâsâ perspective to be more than a little disappointing. Itâs a breezy whirlwind of a history of the book (really pre-book since it runs through clay tablets and scrolls first) told from a first-person point of view of Book itself. I canât say the POV is wholly successful as it often seems to me to strain for the cheery, cutesy direct address kind of voice that Iâm not usually a big fan of in childrenâs writing. And Iâd also say it does get a little muddy in that it has both a sense of speaking for universal âBookâ and yet also being a singular book, as when it refers to the other paperbacks on the shelf around it or talks of being a scroll (âYouâd hold me in in one hand, and with the other youâd be rolling me out . . . https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Super-Anybody-Audiobook/B01284NHIC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: ANYONE CAN BE A SUPERPOWER Brent Meske's sequel to Super Nobody successfully transports the reader to summer camp....something most of us can all identify with. Michael, the main character turns on his super powers to handle what is going on in his life. There is lots of drama with a message in all of Brent's work. I love his character development and messages within all of his works. I, highly, recommend this book to parents, teachers, teens and social workers. Good series Keeps your attention by adding more great characters to both sides of the battle between good and evil . Canât wait to read the next book in the series. I found this second book in this series better than the first I found this second book in this series better than the first. The writing is more confident and the storytelling a bit more mature. The reader still needs to be willing to read past some obvious flaws. As with the first book, the story is still fun to read. I had the same frustration as with the first book - with some small changes, this series would be a superior work. I would love for the author to correct the flaws and re-release the books without those glaring errors. Fun read up until offensive protrayal of autism iI was enjoying this book as a light, fun read until the minor character with autism. This person was described as being in the room where children work on simple seven peice puzzles that other kids would have gotten bored with long ago. The character is then furthur described as having the brain power of a bowl of oatmeal and being nonverbal. I found this description very off putting and offensive being the parent of a child with severe autism. Anybody can be super at something. Super abilities happen to people who work hard at something they really want, and by studying, practicing, believing, and networking, they become the best at it. Everyone has abilities at different skill levels. By focusing on a few key abilities, especially if interrelated and required for a task, and developing them, the task becomes easier. With practice and experience, the knowledge and skills learned on performing different tasks begins to blend with those learned on other tasks to multiply what is known and combine to be able to perform complex tasks using the basic skills in different ways. A child learns to run through practice and combining simple moves.

Edge I have to admit that I had a little trouble buying into this one. Grace is determined to be part of The 100 Society, a mysterious group that tags 100 unique (and some dangerous) locations. She's almost done - just four tags left, when she and her friends start to realize that they are playing a very dangerous game. And the dangers are far worse than simply being arrested or expelled. Part of the issue I had with this one was that Grace and her friends (with the expection of one) feel like, posh, rich little society kids playing at being edgy. I never bought it. While I liked the mystery of the piece, I never once felt that the story had any authenticity. All in all a rather bland and white washed story of pretty kids posing at being edgy artistes! Unsatisfying. * ARC provided by Netgalley for review purposes. Lesson #1: Do not trust anyone Thank you Hodder Children's Books for providing me with an advanced reading copy of review. Before my encounter with The 100 Society, I'd never stumbled upon a young-adult thriller. I'm not the kind of person who would read that kind of book that's filled with mystery and a hint of horror. Because of that, I'm actually really surprised with Spradbery's debut novel. Plot-wise, The 100 Society is depicted by many as a combination of I Know What You Did Last Summer and Point Horror. I don't know much about Point Horror, but when it comes to the other one, this book surely felt like it was based off it. There were so many similarities between the two it was almost impossible not to compare the two. It especially contains one particular resemblance when it comes to the characters in this book. The one where the characters are naive, dumb and act like any other cast of characters would in a horror movie. Instead of thinking twice before they do something, they rush themselves into danger. Afterwards they are surprised they would have gotten into trouble if things headed another way. I know it wasn't Spradbery's purpose to do so, but it surely created some laughable moments for me. Besides the fact that they are a perfect horror cast, it's obvious all the characters seem to lack in depth. It wasn't rare in the first half of the book that I got confused and mixed up several characters because of the similar personalities. None of these characters had a background or interests besides art and The 100 Society. As the story progressed, some characters started taking little things such as a kiss way too seriously when there were way worse things going on. Deaths were being handled as something they'll forget after a while and they would just go on with their lives. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/The-Truth-About-My-Success-Audiobook/B00X4T7VGK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Featuring the best-selling Dyan Sheldon at her snarky, entertaining best. Paloma Rose is sixteen and already a major TV star. She has money, franchises, adoring fans - and an agent and parents who are dependent on her success to sustain their very comfortable lives.

Members Reviews: Terrific! I first found out about Ms Sheldon by coming across her Janet books. They are very funny and well written. Highly recommended. This is a bit different, but still shows off Ms Sheldon's smooth writing style and humor. The story is excellent, fast moving, not as predictable as you might think, and was a joy to read from start to finish. Highly recommended, even if reading about the problems of teen-age girls is not one of your interests. Switch Off Protagonist Susan R. Minnick, stage name Paloma Rose (pink dove) is a diva with a sense of entitlement. That having been said, this is an adorable story. Paloma, 16 has a sense of entitlement and the way she talks to her mother Leone is galling and appalling. She even once threw a $3,000.00 vase at Leone. I didn't like Leone at all, but still... As for Paloma's father Arthur, he has about as much impact as a feather would on a construction team. He is very ineffectual; is more like a specter and has minimal influence in their household. He also has a drinking problem and is rarely home. Paloma is a star in the teen series "Angel in the House." Paloma must be an incredible actor because her off-camera persona is everything but angelic. "Angel in the House" sounds like a thinly veiled "Touched by an Angel," a popular TV series. Even so, Paloma is quite the skilled actress. Rebellion and Paloma are on intimate terms. Paloma has been caught in some embarrassing photos such as going topless on a Disney ride and getting drunk in local bars. Leone locks her in her room, but Paloma is adept at sneaking out via the window. Things reach a critical head when Paloma was photographed acting a fool in public. Her ratings slip and Leone, seeing Paloma as a cash cow and a meal ticket as does Paloma's oily agent, Jack Silk (should be "Slick") is desperate to keep the show's ratings afloat. If "Angel in the House" gets canceled, Leone will be out on her keister. So will Paloma and their life of hedonistic excess. Leone and Jack meet in a coffee shop to discuss a game plan to save the show. The barista might be the answer to their greedy prayers. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Breakout-Audiobook/B00SHSXB1M Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The only thing Billy loved more was birthdays and the beauty and charms that an Army Navy surplus store possessed for him. Today was his special day and he had just come of age to join the Boy Scouts.

The area they get stuck in is an old Boy Scout camp by the lake that had recently been destroyed by a tornado. No cell phones, no power, no water, no tents. The oddly matched four must survive until rescue comes. This a fun audiobook that humorously entertains while making you think more about survival in the woods and lifes lessons for yourself.

Members Reviews: The latest, but hopefully not the last. Where does Scotch Broom rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Scotch Broom is among the best of the audiobooks I've listened to so far. What was one of the most memorable moments of Scotch Broom? My favorite sections of the book are Kat's meetings with her traveling companions in the otherworld: Sianach the stag, Cusith the green hound, Cait Sidhe the cat and Diamond the unicorn. Not the most dramatic sections of the book perhaps, but it is so refreshing to meet a group of fey creatures that haven't already been used over and over again in works of fantasy. Have you listened to any of Lisa Baarnss other performances before? How does this one compare? I have listened to several of Lisa Baarns' performances besides this one, they are all of uniformly high quality. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? A young witch lost in the Otherworld, a scheming has-been goddess; what could possibly go wrong? Any additional comments? This is the third volume in the Witches of Galderheim series. I'm hoping for a fourth. My Review is for the Narration Where does Scotch Broom rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? As the author, I think this penultimate book in the Witches of Galdorheim series is the best one, so I'll rate it #1. What did you like best about this story? Lisa Baarns narration brings to life all the various characters. Given that a good portion of them are fairy animals, her ability to make it easy to distinguish between them is fantastic. The reader knows when there's a conversation between Sianach and Cusith, which one is speaking. At times, four characters in dialogue are all easily told one from another without unnecessary dialogue tags. Which character as performed by Lisa Baarns was your favorite? Glaistig, the gray lady vampire of Scotland, is wonderfully drawn with a sexy, but breathy voice. It's easy to hear Glaistig's ability to draw men to their death. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Nearly six hours is a very long time to listen straight through. I wouldn't think anybody would or could do that. Any additional comments? Lisa Baarns has narrated the entire Witches of Galdorheim series. She's done a fantastic job maintaining consistency of voice of the same characters throughout. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Coda-Audiobook/B00OZ63Q4C Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Superb, Fascinating, Engaging What about Mark Blowerss performance did you like? Mark's rendition of Teenage Zombie was easy to understand and follow; his voice seemed totally natural as if he were actually telling us a real story he recalled; it was very easy to follow the different characters when he gave each one a different voice; he wasn't too slow or too fast like some narrators I've tried to hear. He was definitely one of the best narrators I have heard, and I have listened to many audiobooks. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? I wasn't sure. I actually listened to it several times because Mark Blower's made it come to life. It was like watching a move several times and seeing different things you had missed the previous time. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Wish-You-Werent-Audiobook/B00TUFY4D0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It involves time travel, family issues, sibling fights, and wishing on a star. It was a pretty good story. The narrator did a pretty good job, the only thing was that sometimes he didn't have much feeling in his voice. Over all it was a good story that I definitely would listen to/read again. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Haunting-Joy-Book-1-Audiobook/B00NP8P8CO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

For the most part I'm not usually very interested in ghost stories, but this one sounded intriguing and having enjoyed other books by this author I decided to give it a shot when I was offered the opportunity to review the audiobook version. I was very surprised at how much I enjoyed this story! I really liked the main character Joy, even though she was a number of years younger than me I found myself relating to her quite a lot! I also found the whole story very neat, and while yes some parts did seem predictable to me but that did not lessen my enjoyment of the story, I also loved all the random moments of humor scattered throughout! I also loved that even though this was a fun story there was still a real depth and seriousness beneath the surface! To be honest the narration of this audiobook was not my favorite thing about it, I'm not really sure why I didn't like that more but for some reason this narrator's reading style just was not my personal cup of tea. In closing, I really enjoyed this book, highly recommend it and look forward to reading the rest of the books in the series as well as other works by this author! Thank you to the author for providing me with a complimentary audiobook copy in exchange for honest review, which I have done. All thoughts and opinions are one hundred percent my own. Delightful read! Where does Haunting Joy rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? I loved this book! The performance was expertly done, which drew me into the story. I'd say this book is one of the best I've listened to for its ease of understandability and clarity of presentation. What was one of the most memorable moments of Haunting Joy? Well, as embarrassing as it might be, the moment when Joy left the car in neutral was one of the most memorable moments. And this is only because I did the same thing! Which character as performed by Stephanie Ballard was your favorite? I loved Joy. I saw so much of myself in her. She brought me back to my een years. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Sometimes life surprises you in the most mysterious ways. Any additional comments? Haunting Joy is the first book I've had the pleasure of reading from Lena Goldfinch. Even though I'm an adult, I really enjoyed this YA fiction story. In fact, after finishing it, I quickly went to Lena's website to see what books I could read next! Lena has a strength of developing relatable characters that you can't help but fall in love with. As the story progressed, I began to see so much of myself in the main character of Joy. I was swept back into my own high school years, and the accuracy in which Lena presented the mindset of a teenager was spot on. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/The-Fire-Artist-Audiobook/B00NU6Q758 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: 4Â/5 stars The Fire Artist by Daisy Whitney Source: Netgalley My Rating: 4Â/5 stars My Review: In the brave new world occupied by Aria Kilandros, the control of the elements is not only a very real thing but something that is revered, admired and, coveted. Science cannot explain why a certain number of people are born with the ability to control the elements but for those who can and are very adept with their abilities, there is fame and a fortune to be made. What science can explain is that the abilities tend to run in families, the gifts emerge around age thirteen if they are going to and taper off in the twenties. For those with elemental gifts, there is only a small window of opportunity to make their name and their fortune. To become a famous elemental artist, one must have excellent control, a sense of showmanship and a great desire to achieve greatness. To that end, there are those among the artists who do not have a natural born gift but one that is manufactured, stolen. Aria Kilandros is one of those artists and every single day of her life, she lives in fear of being discovered. At just seventeen years old, Aria has made a name for herself as a fire artist and if her plans work out as she hopes they will, she will soon be able to leave the minor league shows for one of the larger, more prestigious leagues. Though she wasnât born with the ability to control fire, Aria has acquired the ability and sees it as her ticket out of the hell that is her life. Her father is a controlling and abusive man, her mother is a broken shell of the woman she used to be, her brother is an ex-con and, she must rely on her best-friend to help her restore her abilities on an ever-increasing basis. Ariaâs abilities are remarkable but they come at a very, very high cost. For years she and her best-friend have born that cost together but when Aria gets called up to the big leagues, she is forced to find a new means by which to replenish her abilities. Life in New York is a mixed bag for Aria. On the one hand she is living her dream, she a player in the most prestigious elemental league and on the other hand, she is growing increasingly more desperate and her fire is waning and becoming unmanageable. Enter Taj, the most beautiful boy Aria has ever seen and the one person who can grant her greatest wish. Taj is an entity of legend and myth, a Granter and with the right words and the proper payment, he can secure Ariaâs abilities and her future. Granters are, in many ways tricksters and though Aria is in desperate need of Taj and his abilities, she also has to be very, very careful. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Into-Thin-Air-Audiobook/B00NFVNJ2C Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Lost Town: A Fantasy Novella Series! Subtitle: The Wyldemere Chronicles, Book 1 Author: William Woodward Narrator: Melissa Chatwood Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 19 mins Language: English Release date: 09-12-14 Publisher: Billy Coury Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Teens, Ages 11-13 Publisher's Summary: Devon Lockwright had been hearing tales about the ruins beneath Wyldemere for as long as he could remember. He was only 17, but had an excellent mind for such things, so had absorbed most of what he'd heard - and read. In other words, even though he was still too young to grow a proper beard, he'd accumulated more knowledge on the subject than any historian in town. Devon had trouble accepting some of the more outlandish bits (most of which had been conveyed to him in hushed tones by his very dearly departed grandfather), things such as bottomless lakes teeming with luminescent fish, and great lumbering beasts sporting ivory horns studded with gemstones. But if even the most conservative of the tales turned out to be true, then there was no doubt that the underground city existed, and little doubt that its ruins stretched the length and breadth of the above ground city, its crumbling buildings filled with all manner of rare and wondrous things, items he prayed would fetch a pretty penny in the local curiosity shops.

Title: Lost Town: A Fantasy Novella Series! Subtitle: The Wyldemere Chronicles, Book 1 Author: William Woodward Narrator: Melissa Chatwood Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 19 mins Language: English Release date: 09-12-14 Publisher: Billy Coury Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Teens, Ages 11-13 Publisher's Summary: Devon Lockwright had been hearing tales about the ruins beneath Wyldemere for as long as he could remember. He was only 17, but had an excellent mind for such things, so had absorbed most of what he'd heard - and read. In other words, even though he was still too young to grow a proper beard, he'd accumulated more knowledge on the subject than any historian in town. Devon had trouble accepting some of the more outlandish bits (most of which had been conveyed to him in hushed tones by his very dearly departed grandfather), things such as bottomless lakes teeming with luminescent fish, and great lumbering beasts sporting ivory horns studded with gemstones. But if even the most conservative of the tales turned out to be true, then there was no doubt that the underground city existed, and little doubt that its ruins stretched the length and breadth of the above ground city, its crumbling buildings filled with all manner of rare and wondrous things, items he prayed would fetch a pretty penny in the local curiosity shops.

Members Reviews: LOST TOWN What a great book. Devon knows of a place below his home of Wyldemere called Lost Town. He decides to go down exploring for treasures and adventure. Answering Devon's ad for a partner, Sara joins in the adventure because her Uncle Robert was an archaeologist. That is when this adventure starts. This is a fun read that I know would really appeal to young adults and considering this is a continuing series I believe it is a definite winner. Great job! Fabulous read This serial fantasy harkens back to the days or yore when newspapers carried serial stories. Each week Woodward posted an installment. It was so much fun! Now we get to read it all at once. Thanks William. This will leave you hungry for more and unwilling to accept less Steampunk and Magic combine for epic satisfaction, The only downside is the wait for more to be written. Be warned you will wait without patience! awesome great! Well-written and easy to read In Lost Town we find pleasantly a kind of underworld adventure involving the relationship of a young man to a young woman, as they face a series of challenges, particularly to their potential for resourcefulness. I feel that the friendship itself is also somehow nicely nostalgic towards adolescence. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Noah-and-the-Ark-Extended-Edition-Audiobook/B00MOSHBEO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The reading level was very much below her current level, which is all right it is a comic after all; that happens. The art work was not quite as good as I'd hoped. James was blond through most of it, and I felt on the cover was drawn very effeminate. I don't feel that he looks effeminate in real life. The only two who really look like a comic version of themselves were Kendall and Logan. I felt that Carlos was drawn a bit off too. Overall this book was entertaining and just something fun for my little one to read. I would not make the purchase again had I realized that it was more of a fun, breeze through the actors getting the parts and not entirely related to the characters of the show. Cheesy My 11 year old LOVES BTR. Wanted this for a long time and i finally gave in (thought it was overpriced) I was right. Not much to look at and you can read it in 5 minutes. Little tidbits about the actors/singers, not the characters. Illustrations do not look like the actors and one major problem - James is not blond. Wouldn't buy again! big time rush hi my name is charlene and my daughter just told me that the book is a great book i think if you have any kids and they love big time rush you should bye this book the money is worth it she has all three now and just loves all her books charlene Great for a BIG fan of BTR ! Purchased this for my 8 year old's birthday. She really enjoyed reading a graphic novel and having a story about her fave band was a lot of fun for her. Nice gift and collectible to save on her shelf. big time rush well my daughter olves btr a lot she saw them to times and the book was great she is very happy with the book https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Copper-Magic-Audiobook/B00LBBWM8A Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Delightful storytelling at its best Highly recommend for all ages. Delightful characters focusing on a main character who invites in her world of loss, courage, magic and wonder. Vivid imagery and storytelling allow us listeners it readers to be taken on a journey. Surprisingly good story I thought it might be a coming of age tale with fairies thrown in. It was, instead, a very insightful look at that place and time. Magic may be involved, or not. The narrator does a great job with the dialogs and voices. She really makes the story come to life. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/The-Midnight-Diet-Club-Audiobook/B00KY4WYIS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

In her quest to find acceptance she almost loses her soul in this funny, slightly scary, twist on vampire legends. Members Reviews: Skinny bully vamps are the worst! Esme and her mom are on the outs with each other. She wants Esme to be thin and popular. But the recent divorce of her parents has Esme in emotional turmoil and so she turns to food. Her mom puts her on one crazy diet after another and nothing seems to work. The kids at school, with the exception of 2 friends, bully her all the time. The story opens with one scene after another of bullying in various forms and the tactless, yet well-meaning, things adults say to teens. Finally, there is an incident during PE class that sends Esme over the top; the three chic thin and cruel girls take advantage of this incident, pushing Esme even further. Pretty soon, we have vampires and a Dr. Ghoulash clashing with Esmes desire to be thin and popular. This story starts off a bit slow with the bullying scenes, one after the other. But that also set up the scenery for the rest of the plot to walk in. Esme is pressured by everyone (except her two friends) to lose weight, and to do it quickly. At age 12, that is a lot of pressure. Throughout the beginning, we see Esme being pushed around, not making decisions on her own. But then a spark shows and she tails one of the thin, vampire girls (Pam) after dark one night, catching a glimpse of the secret the three guard. Using this secret as leverage, she forces her way into their circle and meets Dr. Ghoulash. Then she goes back to being pushed around and manipulated until the final scene of the book. Esme didnt strike me as particularly intelligent or heroic, but more of a lucky protagonist that got out of this scrape intact. There was a lot of focus on her weight and, while that was definitely integral to her motives, after a while it felt like I (and Esme) was being hit over the head with it. Was there anything else to her character? She loves chocolate, is fat, her parents are divorced, shes overweight, she is good at geometry, needs to lose weightWhile it was a bit repetitive for me to listen to, I can also see that it showed the listener just how desperate Esme was to fit in; and to do that she had to lose weight. This is one of those stories with a moral. As Esme hangs around the vampires more and more, she leaves her friends behind, even pushing them away, and starting to think harshly of them. I am sure you can guess how this book ends (in rough outlines) and Esme learns that true friendship is more important. I was hoping that Esmes mom would learn a lesson too, as she comes off as pretty shallow (but perhaps that will happen in a sequel). The characters were pretty one dimensional with only Esme showing a little growth. The plot was predictable mostly because the characters were predictable. Also, and this is just my personal bit, the character name Dr. Ghoulash made me think of a dish my mom made frequently when we were growing up. So I automatically connected the big bad villain with a tasty meal. I guess everyone has to eat. But for me personally, that made the big Baddie more comical than dangerous or scary. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Disturbed-Souls-Audiobook/B00KFHA5PS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Itâs a wonderful story and very different from what I would normally read, but I enjoyed it thoroughly! It gave me an opportunity to see the world through not only female eyes, but a teen-aged girlâs eyes and heart, and the special relationship and impact that separated generations can share. I loved how the author made the 13 year-old lead character, Claire, so strong, rational, and focused, but also allowed her to open herself up to intuition and wonder. Itâs a great message for young girls today, that they can be both intelligent and love learning and science, but also can be expressive and open to their and otherâs feelings. This story re-awoke my own memories - as I'm sure it may similarly do for many readers - of a summer I spent with my grandparents when I was 11, especially with my grandfather, and how special he made me feel. Your book brought back memories of the stories he shared with me about my family and his life - and life in general. Thank you to the author for creating and sharing this story with the world. Faeries , Family & Nature seen by an amazing teen... This is such a great book, for so many reasons. Love of family, country, nature and all discovered by a teen who is artfully portrayed with her strengths & "flaws". The author has woven her fairy dust into my heart and I am so proud to call her my cousin! I will be recommending this book to all my friends regardless of their age. Deeply moving and heartfelt, I hope to be reading more books from this talented writer. A Modern Day Fairytale! The Fairies of Turtle Creek is a well-written magical tale! Thirteen-year-old Claire is a smart girl wrapped up in logic and science and the proper order of natural things, but her keen interest in nature and art draws her to an enchanting creek where her artistic talent freely flows. It isn't until Grandma comes to live in Claire's home that the logic of things comes into question. Old and feeble, both in body and mind, it seems, Grandma divulges a secret to Claire--she believes in fairies! The bond that slowly forms between these two is magnificent! Jill K. Sayre has created a generational book sure to be loved by the smart young readers it has been written for while having the surprising ability to captivate its adult audience, too. A perfect read for a family adventure! Fairies of Turtle Creek is simply enchanting. I will admit that I started to read this story on my own because I had heard about this book and Jill Sayre the writer before the book was even in print.But I realized I was really leaving my daughter out in the cold of this excitement.Then it finally occurred to me how much better an adventure and a fantasy that this could be if we just share it together. She is ten now but it feels like just yesterday that we went on our fairy hunts and collected acorns for fairy hats and leaves for place mats. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Sons-of-the-613-Audiobook/B00JOGGWNU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: This is a good yarn for anybody going through the pain of growing up. Michael Rubens is a good storyteller. This is a story of a young man who was forced by his older brother to face his fears. In the process he also learns to think out-of-the-box. Sons Of The 613 is funny at times, poignant at others, and overall a very good read. The material is PG-13 but IMHO I consider the content to be very appropriate, and not pigeonholed to a specific demographic. It can be read by anybody of any age or gender, even though it is about a soon to be young man, on the cusp of celebrating his Bar Mitzvah. I am 48 years old, and the story still resonated with me, as most good literature apt to do. Brilliant coming of age story not for the faint of heart or the easily offended. I loved Sons of the 613. It's just a great read that is sure to entertain teens and adults alike. The author is able to achieve the perfect level of authenticity with Isaac's narrative voice. I never doubted him, or his reactions for a second. As a parent of a 13 year old boy, I found myself commiserating with Isaac, feeling his pain, his fear, and his heartbreak. I wanted to yell at his parents for going off and leaving him in the care of an older brother who was clearly not stable, and then by the end I found myself feeling glad that they did. At times I was laughing out loud, and other times it was almost too painful to read. This book takes place over a relatively short period of time, and Isaac does a surprising amount of growing up. Isaac learns a lot of valuable lessons during his adventures. Does he learn them in a socially acceptable, parental approved way? Certainly not. There is a lot of language here, sexual situations, underage drinking, and overall violence. Isaac goes to bars, strip clubs, pool halls, and braves the urban version of his own spirit quest all on his way to his Bar Mitzvah. This is a bit too intense for my 13 year old, but I will probably give it to him in a couple of years and enjoy his reactions as he reads about Isaac meeting his first "city" black person, finding himself in a room full of naked women, and falling in love with an older woman. Sons of the 613 will make you laugh and break your heart all within its 305 pages. Fine writing, spot on characterizations and a fast paced plot make this a natural choice for teens - just maybe the slightly older variety. I am Thirteen Years Old; Therefore I am a Man. Sons of the 613 by Michael Rubens is a coming of age story centered around the bar mitzvah of Isaac. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Conquest-Audiobook/B00IIWDNZ6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Why or why not? I would not recommend this book to an adult reader because the narrator makes the story sound very juvenile. If it is pitched at teen readers this book ought to be in the children/teen section. How did the narrator detract from the book? She just sounds very young. Although the protagonist is a teenaged girl a male narrator would have been much better. Do you think Conquest needs a follow-up book? Why or why not? Possibly. hmmm Would you try another book written by John Connolly and Jennifer Ridyard or narrated by Nicola Barber? MAYBE What could John Connolly and Jennifer Ridyard have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? Not my cup of tea....this is just my opinion but I cant finish it. For me its a book for teenage girls. Who might you have cast as narrator instead of Nicola Barber? Nobody, Nicola has a lovely voice its probably ideal for target market? Really wanted to enjoy this As far as the story goes, I enjoyed it. However the narrator is infuriating to listen to!! I get that she is well spoken but to the point of mispronouncing words!? It spoilt it for me. She over acts some parts to the point that I thought I was listening to a young children's book. (Which she'd be fantastic at). It made me feel like I was 5 again and it really isn't the type of book to be read to a 5 year old and I'm 30 years to old for it. Really hope the narrator of the second book is better, but you can get much worse! ABOUT AS POOR AS YOU COULD GET ! What disappointed you about Conquest? I'm sorry but this book is appalling. John Connolly is one of my very favourite authors his Charlie Parker's are the best in that genre. This however is probably the worst in the genre of S.F / Fantasy. The vocabulary is limited as though directed to a 10 year old. The story is simplistic to say the least. In the 1st 5 minutes we are asked to get our heads around the notion that a wormhole has opened up through which a vast interstellar force has passed. They hang around Mars for a while and then proceed to Earth. In 3 days the Earth surrenders totally. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Werewolf-Royalty-Audiobook/B00IASBPJY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Original Dystopian Story Set Under the Sea Any additional comments? Cerulean is a truly original dystopia story. It is set under the sea, where humans took refuge after a horrible world war made the Earth's surface uninhabitable. Humans are implanted with gills at birth and are paired with dolphins for companionship. The story centers on Chey, who recently lost her best friend and her parents to the sickness that plagues too many who live under the sea. Becoming increasingly restless, much like the Little Mermaid who wanted to explore the land above, Chey soon meets Jesse and the Captain who live above the water on an island. Anna Kyss has a gift for writing interesting stories that develop over several chapters. I enjoy not being told everything in the first chapter. However, even though the beginning started wonderfully, I felt like the last few chapters were rushed and unfinished. I also felt the story ended abruptly with several unanswered questions. How is Chey going to reveal to those living underwater that it is now safe to live above sea level? What is the significance of Chey being able to talk to whales? What is Jesses back-story and why is he helping the Captain save those that escape from the underwater cities? I cant help but get the feeling that these questions will be revealed in a sequel, if not a trilogy. Melissa Moran did a good job narrating. She has different voices for the different characters and she did more than merely read the text. Id listen to other books that shes narrated without question. Cerulean: Great story with talented narrator Would you consider the audio edition of Cerulean to be better than the print version? I haven't read the print edition of this book but I think the audio enhances the story by establishing I great pacing for the characters and events What did you like best about this story? Cerulean has affinity to the audio format. The story has a good pace and intrinsic rhythm which is fantastic for the audio. This audio seemed short to me. While listening to Cerulean I was immerse in the story.I have to confess that I was truly surprise with the evolution of the story. At first I thought it was about mermaids but it evolves into something new. The main character lives in a totalitarian society where she feels constrained by lack of choices and diversity on her life. Chey is a young girl with many questions. That is why she ends finding answers that change life as she knows it. What about Melissa Morans performance did you like? Cerulean is narrated by Melissa Moran. This narrator has a beautiful voice, perfect for this audiobook. The narration is single voiced and Moran is a skillful narrator. To help the listener differentiate genders, she changes her voice tone. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Dare-to-Enter-a-Distant-World-Audiobook/B00HRHQY2W Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

As of rightnow I'm just blah blahblahing because to leave a review on a book you have to have so many words...in short the book as good. GREAT BOOK!!!! WOW I love this book.. When it ended, I wanted so much more. I hope that there will be a 2nd book to this!!! A fine read! J K definitely knows how to tell a story and keep his readers' engrossed! Planning to try out his other books as well. IMAGINATIVE WORK BY A TALENTED YOUNG AUTHOR Well-developed, imaginative and quite different from the other J. K. Drew stories I've read, with imagery reminiscent of a young Ray Bradbury. I have the six-book set and it's easy to see how the talented teenager grew into the best-selling author we now know as J. R. Rain, whose work spans multiple genres. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Musical-Chairs-Audiobook/B00HFEA324 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Was interesting perspective of young girl moving round various foster homes but I think this might have worked better as a book. I loved it! If you could sum up Close Your Pretty Eyes in three words, what would they be? Hard-hitting, heart-jerking, brilliant What did you like best about this story? Olivia makes me want to help kids like her Which scene did you most enjoy? Yes! The whole time we are getting to know Olivia we are trying to decide if we are going to trust her or not, and somewhere in the fighting and fear you realise that you love her whether or not she does turn out to be the anti-hero If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be? Nothing! The narrator was wonderful! Any additional comments? Buy it. Listen.

Unique premise. Unusual setting. All you could want in a novel about music, magical powers, and fantastical creatures. Secret of the Songshell is an imaginative adventure for all ages. Joel and Felicity are a dynamic pair, both struggling with social issues and trying to find their places in the world. When they are chosen by their rock star idol Marshall to enter a bizarre world of odd creatures where they will hone their musical skills and learn how to become rock stars themselves, they jump at the opportunity. Things don't turn out quite as they imagined, and they are soon in a race to save the world and themselves. This was a fun read and I rooted for Joel and Felicity the whole way. Just in Time for Children "on the spectrum" Brian Tashima's "Secret of the Songshell; Book I of the Spectraland Saga," is an interesting fictional twist on how disease, in this case, Asperger's, can do magic things for children, a trope that can be transposed for children who struggle with other demons. With new definitions in the DSM V of psychiatric disease, fewer or more children will fall "on the autism spectrum" and in other dark corners of mental illness. How wonderful to have Tashima's hero Joel, ill but specially "gifted", show parents and children alike to see that good parts of life that are still possible for those with mental disorders. My only criticism is that the female lead embodies the worst of female traits. Would that she were as noble as Joel. An enchanting world This is a wonderful book full of imaginative characters. Life can be tough for any child in school but when you add Aspergers to the mix it creates even more challenges. You get to meet Joel in one of these scenarios and get your first glimpse into his life. Through the help of an idol he end up in a magical realm full of interesting people and creatures. The author paints vivid pictures of this new world while keeping track of Joel's lessons of life. Inspiring and difficult lessons in life such as acceptance and being true to ones self are woven into the events that unfold in this book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Gamadin-Audiobook/B00GDLGVQM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I read Tom Kirkbride's GAMADIN Word of Honor and was so impressed with this new series that I purchased copies for my grandkids, nieces and nephews, and some special kids around the neighborhood. The 'old fashioned' values of the lead characters was a refreshing change from todays normal media. The recipients of the gifts are all just as hooked on the series as I am - the adventure is non-stop! Adult or young teen, this is exciting and fun for all ages. Imagine being given these very cool weapons, an awesome vehicle, and the responsibility of saving the galaxy and all that is RIGHT in our world! I had a blast reading this and am anxiously awaiting the next book, to read more about the adventures of Harlowe and Riverside. It's so nice when the good guys win for a change! Gamadin: Word of Honor I'm a little late writing this review. I finished this book and believe me I staid up late at the kitchen table reading it, I didn't review it. I had to pick up book number two the next one in this series. I have never been a really big fan of sci-fi books. This one blew me away. The on earth part brought back wild memories since I grew up where our heroes are. This is a book that is an easy read and captures your mind to what could be and what is. I have read this book twice to continue with all the books (on my Kindle). It was as good the first time or even better. I even got caught up in the book. I'm even talking like Harlow, Matt and Wiz. I'm on book three now. I got it as soon as it came out. I had to know what happens. The only bad thing I can come up with is he says he has two more coming out, WHAT? I was thinking closure. Heroe says the day! More you say? Hurry up I need my Gamadin fix. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys reading. A very enjoyable book Saw the "Gamadin van" at a local eatery and looked up the web site. I read most anything, but love sci-fi and paranormal. I messaged the author and discovered he had recently moved into my town; I felt obligated to buy the e-book and read it so if we ever met... No regrets.There are some minor continuity issues with the story, some "blanks I would have rather seen filled. but I enjoyed the characters and the story very much. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Wheels-Audiobook/B00GCE8K3C Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The world building and imagination that went into the creation of this book is astounding. The author creates a whole new planet with two alien races and a whole host of colourful characters! There are alien foods, alien sports, alien foliage, alien customs and even an alien religion. The aliens believe in the Great Creator who, instead of living in the sky, lives in the Lapis Sea. They call their creator 'Concentric' which was quite funny because instead of saying 'Oh God' they say 'Concentric help us!' and invoke Concentric when in distress, how we would with God. It was fascinating to read and I loved the world the author created. I especially loved the 'poonchi' which is similar to a dog but shaped like a bowling ball with spikes. It sounds adorable and I want one. I also really loved a food they had- a kind of berry which taste nice or horrible depending on your mood. I thought that was very Harry Potter-esque and something you would get from Honeydukes! The way the author writes about time travel and travelling through space is really original and not cliche, and is very unearthly and unusual! It is rare to find a new way of describing time travel as it has already been written about so much before, so I thought that was really interesting. I also loved the concept of 'particle weaving' which is being able to move particles into new shapes using your mind. I would love to have that power, and have always wanted something along those lines since I read 'Matilda' as a child! I think Green Lantern also does something similar so maybe he comes from Circanthos too! I loved the main characters. McKenzie is really likeable; even more so because she is quite flawed, especially at the beginning, and matures throughout the novel. She starts off very independent, feisty, obnoxious and bossy and she becomes a lot more soft, vulnerable and more of a team player. Her strange mixture of looks also make her stand out; she is Chinese with bright red hair and emerald eyes. The boy she travels with, Rudy Hayes, is quite adorable. His lop-sided grin and cheeky banter with McKenzie made him a believable love interest and their flirtation is very cute and not over the top. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Tune-in-Anytime-Audiobook/B00G9D3JPA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I have literally read every book Caroline B. Cooney has written and for some reason I put off reading this book. I am not the soap opera type and thought there was no way I would like the book. Boy was I wrong! I finally decided to read it and fell in love with this book! It is really an amazing story. The emotion throughout the whole story is so intense you feel like your in the book! The characters give off a quality that you are still laughing and thinking about weeks later. I found myself taking quotes from the book and using them in conversations. I told every one of my friends to read it and loaned it to everyone I know. This is a really great book! I love this book! What a purely delightful read this book is! "Tune In Anytime" is set up like a soap opera with each new episode a continuation of the lives of the Olivette and Larkman families. A family drama, the book is quite the deviation for Caroline B. Cooney, a suspense genre writer. Poor Sophie Olivette is the still point amidst the self-centered members of her family: Daniel, 49, who plans to divorce his mate, then remarry a young model; Edith, the old wife, a long-time self-seeker; Marley, older daughter, feisty college student; and Sophie, a sensible high school student longing for her family to remain intact. At the beginning of each chapter an italicized script introduces a typical soap opera plot, then adapts it to the Olivette family. The chapter follows the thread but in most unusual ways. First, the writing is pure magic. I will reread this book just to recapture the lovely enchantment of Cooney's words. Second, the characters never react to events in expected ways. There is an aura of mystery and other worldliness to them. Could it be caused by the stone circle on the Larkman property, where Edith plans a solstice party to precede the New Year's Eve wedding of her soon-to-be ex-husband. There's a bulldozer involved. One of the best parts of the book is the slowly evolving romance between Sophie Olivette and Ted Larkman, high school student and third-generation gravel pit operator. His parents are doubly involved: in the plot and in the magic. Sound confusing? The novel is open-ended, but how the relationship turns out is as obvious as fairy dust. Think of the best of Woody Allen, then you have a sense of the strange evolving in this modern day fairy tale. Very highly recommended! Avoiding Divorce Sophie's life has suddenly turned into a soap opera. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Save-the-Enemy-Audiobook/B00G9CZ6AM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Moves very quickly In Arin Greenwoodâs first YA novel, SAVE THE ENEMY, Zoey and her family have recently moved to Alexandria, Virginia. She is in her senior year at a private school in Old Town Alexandria. Her mother was killed in what appeared to be a random mugging. Her father is occasionally away for days at a time, leaving her in charge of herself and her younger brother Ben, who happens to be in the Aspergerâs/autistic spectrum. The youngstersâ father is kidnapped. A note says that Zoey must produce a âJ Fileâ to get her father back, but she has no idea what this âJ Fileâ is, much less where to find it. Because of the kidnapping, Ben becomes more difficult to manage. Someone is leaving cigarette butts in the toilet at Zoeyâs home, and no one there smokes. Zoey has no idea which of several young men her age truly want to help her or mean her harm. She ends up putting to use the self-defense/survival skills her father insisted she learn. Zoey and Ben impress me as well-executed characters. Zoey is strong -- tough when she has to be. Ben, as I understand many Asperger's people to be, focuses strongly on one interest -- at this time, economics -- and is very demanding about his clothing and his daily routine. This novel is medium-short, fast, and pow! It moves very quickly, and readers want to keep going to see what happens next. But beware of trying to read this one too quickly, or youâll get lost. really loved it This book grabbed my attention the instant I read the synopsis. I was very excited to get a copy of the audio. I love audio and this was the perfect book to listen for audio. The story was suspenseful, well put together, and very exciting. I was caught up on the action from start to finish. It was everything I thought it would be. Zoey and her younger brother, Ben, live with their father just trying to make it through the every day steps of life since their mother was killed. Zoey comes home one day to find her brother waiting on the front porch, a cigarette butt in the toilet, and her father missing. All very strange things, especially when added up together. Ben is autistic and shouldn't be left alone and no on in the house smokes. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Another-Me-Audiobook/B00FZ37KIM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Good book for teens, with an uncertain ending This book is a quick read for most adults, and a fine book for teens. I'm not sure it's suitable for middle grade students, not the early middle graders, anyway. Some of the elements in this are fairly mature. It's well written from a first-person viewpoint. The dialogue rings fairly true for the age of the characters. American readers may need to learn a few British terms, but they can figure most of it from the context. The paranormal aspects are well written. Fay, the protagonist, doesn't like scary stories and she doesn't believe in ghosts. However, by the end of the first chapter, she's already had a brush with something very creepy. It'll take her awhile to realize it, and the horror builds gradually, with lots of room for doubts. Several scenes can be interpreted multiple ways. The mixed interpretations continue all the way to the end of the book. I don't think I'll spoil anything by saying that no two people are likely to agree on what really happens at the end... and which clues point to which outcome. This is a book you'll read more than once, just to see if you "got it right." (The fact is, the lines between reality and the ghost world continue to blur near the end of the book, no matter how many times you read it. That's what makes it fun.) I think this book is best for young teens who like creepy, gothic stories and "what if" tales of the paranormal. Adults who want a quick, quirky read may enjoy it as much as I did, too. The film and book differ from one another. I watched the film adaptation of Another Me before I learned about the book. I expected there to be little to no difference between the book and film, but there were actually quite a few major changes made to the film, and so I feel I was just as engaged as I might have been if I had not seen the film first. What I appreciate about her kind of horror is how inconspicuous it is for the most part. She takes seemingly minor details and makes you question whether or not they are mere coincidences, because realistically they very well could be. Cathy MacPhail has stated that there is a hint given somewhere in the book that reveals the answer to the question you are most likely left with at the ending. It is not apparent to me exactly what the hint was, though I have a few guesses. Personally, I prefer that she didn't explicitly give anything away. Worth Checking Out This I liked. Spooky in a fun way. Nice ending too.

Members Reviews: Not my favourite but not bad I downloaded this book as I had a long journey to make and often find it is easier to lose myself in a world created for children. In that respect it sort of worked. The performer was really good at giving each person a voice, and the concept was interesting. The story I found in paces a bit weak and others a bit bizarre/creepy not really what I expected. Mostly though it was light hearted and fun and I am clearly not the intended audience so shouldn't judge to harshly. It was imagining it from the intended audience that made me consider parts of it wierd - I think it loses sight of its audience at times. Overall OK, enjoyed most of it most of the time. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/A-Measure-of-Disorder-Audiobook/B00D2XZ3SG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A fantastic read for both teens and adults If you could sum up A Measure of Disorder in three words, what would they be? extraordinary, unexpected, brilliant Who was your favorite character and why? I loved how good natured Jenni was and how she was something special from the start but there are so many amazing characters it is hard to just pick one. Which character as performed by Christy Lynn was your favorite? I loved how she performed Crank. Her talent for voices was well played in this book. I also thought she did an excellent job with the adults. You could really tell who was who. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? They thought they were on a field trip until everything changed. Any additional comments? This book is brilliant on so many levels. The world building alone is smart and well thought out. The most extraordinary thing that stuck out for me was Alan Tuckers use of not only kids as heroes but adults. So often in middle-grade and early YA, we see books that pull the kids away from adults to have the adventures but here we have them all playing a part. I loved the opposition set up as the children choose their different paths. There is also an underlying theme that is rewarding all on its own. I would recommend this book to both teens and adults who enjoy a great read with a toe in both the real world and the fantastic. I look forward to delving into the rest of series. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Perfect-Revenge-Audiobook/B00CSX9C88 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Three Stars Good Cheerful, Rambunctious Fun This is mostly a friendship adventure tale and it seems to me that there's always room on the middle grade shelf for well done variations on the school-for-heroes genre. Sam has made it into the King's training academy. He's poor and small, but doughty. He has an old rusty sword, but a good attitude. He picks up a funny and trusty fellow student pal and we're off to the races. Soon, he has a crush on a girl student with crazy skills, and then maybe a second crush on a girl who's training up on the magic side of the Academy. These crushes are charming and sort of puppyish, so this isn't a "romance" novel. Rather, there may be a traitor around, odd happenings are afoot, and some questionable "accidents" have the Academy on edge. One student gets half-zombified, but that isn't really the heart of the book and this isn't at all a standard zombie-style adventure. Until the big action packed and suspenseful final chapters it's much more a comfy and agreeable school-daze sort of tale, as Sam tries to fit in and do well at the Academy. As you might expect there are some big plot holes and gaps, but who cares? Aimed at middle grade readers, the book moves along briskly, introduces all sorts of interesting supporting characters, (teachers, students, villagers, villains), and gives us lots of scenes of student life at the Academy. There's only a little bit of the required bullying shtick and no mean-girl stuff, which is fine by me. The writing is smart and the humor is mild and good-natured. Sam is a decent, resourceful, and yet relateable hero who tries to do the right thing but is still basically a kid. The conversations among and between the kids are often smart and witty, with some nice dry and deadpan throwaways. This earnest but light-hearted tone carries throughout the book. By the end we have a few untied threads left hanging, a solid team of friend heroes, and a promise of a second book that will tie up those final threads. The book struck me as good, solid and entertaining fun and a nice choice for a younger reader. (Please note that I found this book a while ago while browsing Amazon Kindle freebies. I have no connection at all to either the author or the publisher of this book.) Sword and sorcery for youths This was a well written tale that would be good for both teens and tweens. The characters, while falling into genre staples, are well developed. Sam, the hero, is likeable and for me, easy to connect with. I would recommend this book and I am looking forward to the next episode. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Ladies-First-Audiobook/B00BJMEIQK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(School Library Journal) Members Reviews: Great book Great book for young women, I bought it for my nieces 10 and 12 and for my class of 5th graders. A wonderfully entertaining (and simultaneously *gasp* educational) book! I highly recommend this book. It's a really fun and inspirational read. This book is really worth purchasing because you'll find yourself coming back to it again and again. It covers women like Maragaret Bourke-White (the first woman to photograph active combat) and Stacy Allison (the first American woman to scale Mount Everest). 5 stars! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Vampire-Island-Audiobook/B00BMWKBOA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Maddy and her family have come over from the Old World to the New World in hopes of becoming fully human. There are rules to follow and the Argos watch over them. Maddy is not too crazy about following rules and she's the one most likely to remain vampire. I love Maddy. She just does whatever she wants. This time she is spying on the neighbors. She's funny as she goes about her spy work. She also gets in a lot of trouble. Good thing she has some of her vampire traits yet. I also like Hudson, her brother. He takes preserving the environment seriously, much to the disdain of his classmates. I look forward to more of this family. Please bring fruit when you visit and don't upset Maddy Lexie, Maddy, and Hudson aren't your average kids. Their parents are in a rock band called The Dead Ringers and walk dogs for a living. Hudson calls the oven the yewn and nags his classmates about saving the world to the point that no one wants to speak to him. Maddy spies on neighbors while eating ticks. And Lexie, well, she quotes dead poets - mostly the classics, but let us not forget Tupac and Kurt Cobain. Oh and they're not exactly human, but not exactly bats, but not exactly vampires either - they're fruit-bat hybrids and they're just learning to fit into the new world of New York. They're also just learning about aging, crushes, school age politics, embracing their uniqueness, hiding their uniqueness. The usual. I really struggled with what to rate this. It is a quick, fun, fast read. Maybe too fast. Without spoilers: The main Maddy storyline, which the main storyline of the book really, it seems to just sort of end in a rushed cop out sort of way. Tied up neatly with a bow on it. In such a way that made it feel as though this whole book was nothing more than a set up to ensure further books would happen. Which is fine, it actually worked, as I said this book was fun, I've already purchased the next. But given how the main storyline went on seeming rather important and just ended, it did feel as though there was room for more here. Either more in that storyline. Or more of the other siblings. Or more of the parents. I'm not sure what exactly was missing. A little of all of the above maybe. For this "what was missing?" feeling alone, 4 stars. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Lifting-the-Sky-Audiobook/B00BQMJ1RE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A walk back through childhood and the West Dear fellow readers, this book is everything I expected and then some, coming from someone whom I have known since I was five years old. Her painting and tapestries are as beautiful as her writing. She is not a person one meets everyday but is rather extraordinary...I couldn't put the book down either once I started the journey. The relationship with the animal world, the antelopes, the rocks, cliffs, trees, stones and mountains and spirit all around us,that is the person I know. It was always the mystic quest with her... In our youth she awakened me to the world of light written of in this story of which I knew absolutely nothing...and it changed my life forever. I see her in both Mam and Blue. For as long as I have known Mackie Darge, she has always been about Feng Shui long before it became fashionable...for her it was always about place,she always had an enormous need to be living surrounded by rugged, stark breath taking natural beauty and oceans of silence and solitude...whether it was sitting upon a hillside as a child in Turkey alone watching camel caravans winding along like ants far below or on top a mountain in a stone house in Crete...Where she was and her surroundings always came first ahead of every other consideration...as if she were drawn herself to holy ground...she was always true to herself...after growing up abroad, she finally found a home back home in the USA as wild as Meteora or Bahmia or any other sacred place on earth in Wyoming and ceased her worldwide rambling to become a full fledged rancher, a Westerner like she'd lived their all her life and what came before was only half remembered day dreams of long ago...the undaunting spirit of Blue and the respect she had for her own childhood and unique talents is a reflection of the author and it has been my privilege to be her friend through most of my life...I know that this is a book I shall reread every few years using it like a yardstick to measure the size of my spirit at any point in time...it is both sweet and poignant, and it speaks of first love, the pain of broken family and loss and abandonement and then picking new meaningful relations besides the ones we are born with and recovery and healing...and things which to be human we have all experienced...great read, writing as beautiful as a landscape painting... Brian H. Appleton Lifting the Sky by Mackie d'Arge This book is a really enjoyable read for teens as well as adults. I had the pleasure of visiting Mackie when she was visiting here in Thermopolis, She lives on the Wind River Indian Reservation. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Unfed-Audiobook/B00BFHG0R4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Some 1,000 years earlier, the tombs of Chinese emperors were not guarded by clay figures, but by the dead bodies of humans and animals sacrificed for the cause. All over the world, different cultures have conducted an amazing array of intriguing burial practices. On the Indonesian island of Sulawesi, infants are buried in trees so that their spirits might rise up through the trunks toward heaven. Egyptian pyramids and mummification practices continue to fascinate archaeologists the world over. And near the Black Sea in the Ukraine, the tombs of the Amazons hold gold treasures of immeasurable worth. In Bury the Dead, National Geographic senior editor Christopher Sloan conducts a fascinating - and sometimes hair-raising - investigation of how societies around the globe have handled their dead.

As they read about Joshâs confusion, and fearfulness for what heâs becoming, they will also see themselves and realize they are not alone. Growing up is sometimes painful, but is a necessary cycle of life. having family that really loves you means the most. Reviewed by Janessa, Age 15 This book was a lot like the movie "Moonrise Kingdom" and was pretty good. Josh just turned thirteen and is starting to think more about life and where he fits. His parents are divorced and he lives with his mom, though he misses his dad a lot and is jealous of his friend Peter, who has a dad and spends a lot of time with him. He is changing a lot and the boys at school are bullying him about it so he stops going, and his teenage girl cousin moves into the room connected to his and has to go through his room to get to the bathroom that she spends a lot of time in. So life for him is just too much sometimes, so he spends most of his time in his secret place in a big rock by the ocean, trying to figure out who he is and if it is normal. "Before I know it, my ears have dragged me to the kitchen door." This was a good book. I think most kids can relate to Josh in many ways, as being a kid can be tough and having your own space is important, but having family that really loves you means the most. *This book was provided in exchange for an honest review* *You can view the original review at Musing with Crayolakym and San Francisco & Sacramento City Book Review https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Guys-Read-Find-Your-Fire-Audiobook/B008G4KHMI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Tiltawhril John I have read many other Gray Peulson books before I read this one. I like this book because it was an exciting story of a young boy. The book was told by a thrid persons point of view and it was limited. It was hard for me to put the book down at first, but I put it down advetually. The book is about a teenage boy how wanted to find out what a real life was. He runs away from home, the works on a beet farm. Than runs away from there and meets Tiltwhirl John, Wanda, and Billy. I would recommend this book for a high school aged people and up. This book is a gem. I was given an copy of this novella, an origional print, over six years ago. Since then, I've read it at least ten times. This book is marketed as a children's book. It is not, and this perhaps accounts for any negative review it receives. "Tiltawhirl John" begins as the boy, whose name we never learn, is running away from home, avoiding the responsibility of running his uncle's farm. He wants to make a life for himself, to strike it rich. "Tiltawhirl John" is, at the risk of sounding cliched, a coming of age novel. His idealistic fantasies take him to a beet farm, where he is savagely beaten, and then a carnival, where he is befriended by a family. Billy, the tough yet tender geek, Wanda, who runs the "saliva pit," and T-John are among the memorable, beautifully written characters in this book. Paulson has the unique ability to quickly draw complex characters, whether they be a young cowboy or a knife wielding, vengeful ex-lover. Paulson also tells a damn good story. In fact by the end of the book, when you realize that your never again going to hear from Wanda, T-John and Billy, you'll cry. I guarantee it. In summation, this is a lost classic. This is one of those books that deserves to be in the panthean of American novels, but probably won't be, because of dumb luck. Mr. Paulson, if you're out there, I salute you. You're novel has influenced me a great deal. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Replay-Audiobook/B008R1Z3UG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A review for adults As an adult, I occasionally read YA books because I find them fresh and largely free of cynicism, graphic sex and needless violence. Also, it's fun to relive those days without actually, well, reliving them. This book was no exception. The book was fun; written in a breezy first-person narrative. I won't describe the plot, as others have already done so. I have read the preceding reviews, and I don't have a quibble with them. However. The paranormal aspect of the novel feels tacked on. Kelsee is suffering from classic anxiety attacks, but about a third of the way through the book, she realizes they're not anxiety attacks, they're the ability to manipulate time. I had downloaded this book to my Kindle weeks before and had forgotten it was supposed to be paranormal. The shift took me completely by surprise, mainly because the author had not prepared me for it. It was as if she got bored with her own writing and wanted to pump it up. At the beginning of the book, Kelsee's mother is portrayed in a very negative light. She is almost a caricature: overbearing, egotistical, annoying. After Kelsee's realization of her power, the mother is more realistically drawn--she is now seen to be hurting by Kelsee's preference for her father, and still smarting from the divorce. This also feels like a weird change. I'd almost bet the author put the book down for a while, then came back, and instead of starting over, wrote a different kind of novel (a better one) for the last two-thirds of the book. Then, at the end of the novel another twist is added in which seems like another tacked on bit, probably suggested by the publisher in case they wanted to add sequels. The characters of the mother (in the last 2/3 of the novel), and the best friend, as well as of Kelsee herself, are pretty well drawn and their situations are realistic. I think girls will like it because of this. But for adults, it falls short. The plotting is haphazard, some character lines are developed but not seen through, the dialogue sometimes a little glib. But it's cheerful, earnest and does not drag. Definitely worth the $2.99 price tag. Replay If you could change the past, would you? Sophomore Kelsee Lewis has been accepted to Dallas's premiere art school, Bonne. A talented playwright, she suddenly finds the herculean task of saving the fledging creative writing program, the one to which she has just been admitted, thrust upon her shoulders. And she only has a week to do it. In addition she's dealing with an emotionally-distant mother, a relationship with a bestie that seems to be dissolving, a crush on the cutest guy in school who just might be interested, a new friendship with a boy who believes in the unbelievable and a series of panic attacks that appear to stop time. With all the new changes and pressures in her life, Kelsee suddenly finds her new ability very useful. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Guys-Read-Choke-Audiobook/B008G3SISE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I agree with the editorial review that the ending does *not* show any growth by the characters in this story and the british slang is difficult to translate. My son, age 16, was born with multiple birth defects and he was very disappointed in how Midgets' relationship to his family, school and community was so very stereotypical. The author shows very little understanding of persons who have disabilities. We weren't expecting a happy ending to this depressing book and still the ending chosen by the author is very disappointing. Excitement with new vocabulary for young readers. Danger, persecution, imagery, and struggle make this story attractive enough to motivate even a busy young reader to finish it ... probably in 3 days. Teachers will appreciate how its complexity invites variety in oral discussion and written analysis. Its practical length fits well into a typical week's cramped lesson plan. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/The-Witching-Game-Audiobook/B007BJINNY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Good, Healthy, Interest Keeping Storyline Without revealing too much, this book is believable and relate-able from the reasoning of the leading lady's friend's (sorry, I read this awhile ago, so I forgot everyone's names) lie about who molested her to the leading lady's feeling about the leading man, as well as her grief over choosing whom to side with. Happy ending is all I will say (not so happy an end for the sequel). (3.5 Stars) Her Teen Dream Karin Blanch is a sophomore at Elmwood High in California. Although she is the daughter of a well-known lawyer, she seems to play the shadows at school. The only person she is close to is her best friend, Lesley, who lives next door. They both have dreams of being popular in school, and both have crushes on basketball players. Star basketball player Reese McKenzie, a senior, asks for Karin's help after Marcus Payne, a fellow basketball player, is in trouble. Without the help of some legal counsel, Marcus just may wind up behind bars and lose all that he has worked so hard for. Could this be the "in" the girls hoped for? Her Teen Dream by Devon Vaughn Archer is a young adult novel that any teenage girl can relate to. A story that has real problems of today's youth. Mr. Archer is to be commended on touching upon such issues that include an underlying message. Although parts of the story were a little slow, Her Teen Dream was a good read. Reviewed by Leona for Urban Reviews Loved it. I really enjoyed this book. It dealt with true teen issues that teen girls can relate to. I recommend this book to anyone that like a good drama. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Fox-and-Phoenix-Audiobook/B005PZZ8XE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Tamora Pierce) Members Reviews: Far east style fantasy. I can't tell you what culture inspired this fantasy, (Vietnamese,Chinese?). The real joy of this book is that it is from the opposite side of the world from western traditions, making for a refreshing new slant on magic. Every person has an animal spirit that shows up in their childhood, sort of like The Golden Compass. But the resemblance to that book ends there. (If you read Golden Compass after watching the movie, you will be very sad. The movie ended before the horrible ending inflicted by the author.) Kai Zou's animal spirit is a pig, a smelly pig with a smart mouth. He is usually right, which annoys Kai Zou no end. There are lots of other spirit animals, a (dead) stone griffin, and there are dragons - ghost dragons, of the occidental type. Kai Zou is a street lord, with a small gang of friends, each of whom have strengths and weaknesses. Kai Zou's mother owns a magic shop and teaches magic; Kai Zou has to help out, creating conflicts between his street life and home life. In the previous book, Kai Zou gave the Princess her impossible wish. This book is the fall out from that wish. This book stands on it's own but it would be nice if the prequel was read by this same reader. I give the reader high marks for the accent, as well as the reading, which contributes to the oriental atmosphere. And the food they eat sounds great. Wish the restaurants were in Tucson. This book is on my list of best of 2012 (that's when I found it) along with "The Wizard of Dark Street", and all time favorite "Fly by Night". Here's hoping for sequels or companion books. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/Dark-Mist-Rising-Audiobook/B0056J33EA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Second Fiddle This is the second book I have read by this author. She has a way of writing a story that the reader can get into. For parents who are looking for something for their children to read that they do not have to preview themselves this is a great author. Her other book Heart of a Shepard is a book you should read as well. Four Stars I loved the book.It was so full of action and humor and friendship.You should really read this book ! Great book! This was on the Oregon Battle of the Books list for this year. It is a well written book. The characters are interesting and their adventure together well thought out. Courtesy of Mother Daughter Book Club. com Jody and her friends, Giselle and Vivian, can't believe their music teacher has to cancel their trip to Paris for a musical competition. It was supposed to be the last chance they would have to play together before Jody and Giselle leave the U.S. Army base in Berlin and return to the U.S. Then they witness the attempted murder of a Soviet soldier by his own officers. The girls realize the only way they can truly save his life is to smuggle him out of Berlin. And that trip to Paris may be just the way to do it--if they can figure out how to pull it off. Second Fiddle by Rosanne Parry is set just after the fall of the Berlin Wall. As children of military or diplomatic parents, the girls in the story all live in homes that are highly disciplined. They're good kids, and because they've moved often they know how to adapt to different environments. But Giselle and Jody are nervous about their impending move. They're not sure they will fit in with the kids at school in the states, and they don't want to lose their friendship in the process. Their decision to take the soldier to Paris, and the events that follow, can provide great things to discuss in a mother-daughter book club with girls aged 9 to 13. Issues to talk about include kids taking on responsibility, becoming more independent, contributing to important family decisions, and deciding whom they can trust. There's also plenty to talk about in regards to the Soviet Union, the Berlin Wall, military family life, and visiting Paris. I highly recommend it. a tale of friendship, music and freedom set at the end of the Cold War in Berlin In her second novel for young people, Rosanne Parry takes us back to Berlin in 1990, at the time of the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of communism in Eastern Europe. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Teens/The-Amazing-Life-of-Birds-Audiobook/B004QDBM7M Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/869/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

A long time before it came I should have known.I was six or seven years old and there was a girl living next door named Peggy. She was a year older than me and a lot stronger and we were wrestling and she held me down.... All of a sudden it seemed there was something about girls that wasnt all bad. I didnt know what it was but I should have known that this first feeling with Peggy Ollendorfer meant that down the road, later, I was in for a big surprise. Afterward, when I was a little older, if youd asked me what the surprise was like, Id have said it was about like getting hit by a train.

Members Reviews: Absolutely awesome for adolescents and their parents I love Gary Paulsen! I bought this book for my nephew who is 12 and experiencing puberty. I gave him an iPad for Christmas/birthday but told him he had a reading assignment. He groaned and told me all the assignments he had. I said, "Just read it for me." He groaned again, opened up the book on his iPad and almost immediately started laughing. He was hooked! This is a great book for any child going through (or approaching) puberty. It is also great for parents to remind them of what it was like. I highly recommend this book! Five Stars Quick delivery. Met my expectations. Jackson Eckert Very good book the best that I have ever read I liked this book because I am going through puberty myself For the Birds Judy Blume's Are You There, God, It's Me, Margaret, was the go-to "puberty read" for girls in the 1970's and early 80's. I've often felt that we need an updated version of it, and something just as honest and current for boys. Sadly, this is not that book. It wanted to be, but it falls short. First, please understand that this review, and the two-star rating, refers to the audiobook as interpreted by reader William Dufris. The print version should be judged by other standards, and I'll get to that, but an audiobook is a performance, and casting is everything. Dufris' over-the-top verbal antics, hyper-expressive and grating (example, at every turn pronouncing the oft-used "cool" as "keeeeeeeeeewww-uuuuulll!"), and high-pitched nasal whine--meant, I suppose, to imitate a changing voice--completely ruined any chances of the book's being appealing to the over-ten crowd. Those actually going through puberty are hoping to identify with Duane Homer Leach, to discover common ground, and while some of what Paulsen is portraying is undeniably true, the fingernails-down-a-chalkboard presentation of it is so beyond-the-pale dorky and repellent that it would be hard to imagine any twelve-year-old boy wanting to be associated with Duane. Mr. Dufris is likely hilarious playing younger larger-than-life characters (like the Junie B. Jones sort), but he should be kept away from portraying average adolescents. Now, the book itself: I kept checking the date of publication, wondering if it's something Mr. Paulsen wrote in his own youth which was now being released without any editing just because he's who he is.
