Book Bites Reviews

The Eternity Cure by Julie Kagawa
Review by Paige
Alison is searching for a rabid cure. She needs to find and save her sire because this guy is torturing him. My favorite character is Alison because she is a strong character and she's a vampire. I loved this book because it was sad and has supernaturals.

The Sweetness At the Bottom of the Pie by Alan Bradley
Review by Tori
Flavia de Luce, a young chemist solves a mysterious murder. My favorite character is Dogger because his character has a calming effect. I loved this book because I can identify with the character.

Dead End In Norvelt by Jack Gantos
Review by Hannah
A boy named Jack gets "grounded for life" over summer vacation when he mows down their cornfields and accidentally fires his dad's firearm without permission. He starts helping an old woman write obituaries for the paper because she has arthritis. My favorite character is Miss Volker, the obituary writer because she's really funny and even though she's old, she acts fairly young. She also has a humorous attitude toward serious issues. When she wants things done they get done. I liked this book because I like the author's style of writing and I think the book is very funny.

This is What Happy Looks Like by Jennifer E. Smith
Review by Katelyn
Graham Larkin, a famous actor, accidentally e-mailed Ellie O'Neil asking her to walk Wilbur, his pig. Then they spark up an internet relationship without his knowing her name. (I hope they fall in love.) I don't have a favorite character yet. I like this book because so far it has humor and romance.

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
Review by Tori
Pride and Prejudice is a romance/drama set in 19th century England. My favorite character is Elizabeth because she is head strong. I liked this book because it was dramatic.

The Immortal Rules by Julie Kagawa
Review by Paige
Allison Sekamato lives in The Fringe where vampires rule. She is an unregistered and has to fend for herself and her crew. Ali goes past the wall where the rabids are. She ends up getting attacked by rabids and dies. She turns into a vampire. My favorite character is Allison because she is strong and realized how life was when her mother died. I loved thsi book because of the way Julie Kagawa made the vampires very unique.

Stuck on Earth by David Klass
Review by Katelyn
I have too many opinions on this book to describe them. I disliked this book.

After Ever After by Jordan Sonnenblick
Review by Hannah
Jeffrey, Steven's little brother from "Drums Girls and Dangerous Pie," is a teenage boy in 8th grade and in remission. His brother Steven who he would normally ask for advice, has finally rebelled and gone to Africa. Jeffrey struggles through school, and worries about passing the state tests, while trying to help his friend Tad start to walk again. I loved this book because it takes a very good book to make me cry and the end of this one did.

Alice in the Country of Clover by Mamenosuke Fujimaru
Review by B-liz
Alice has to get used to a move. My favorite character is Boris because he is a cat. I liked this book because it is funny.
