New York Times Speed Show: How NASCAR Won the Heart of America (New York Times)1 review
Dave Caldwell

Kingfisher, 2006

Courtesy of Teens Read Too

I admit that I'm a very unique type of NASCAR fan. I love the drivers, love reading about them, checking out the standings, and perusing all the gossip about their personal lives. I don't actually like watching the races. See, how odd is that? Sure, occasionally I'll stumble into a room where ...

Troubador Publishing Ltd, 2006

Courtesy of Teens Read Too

SHEER BLISS is a ton of fun to read. I've noticed a trend in tween/teen books lately; a lot seem to be about life in the spotlight. Sometimes, they're about teen celebrities. Other times, the main characters are, like Bliss Drew, famous because of who they're related to. Another book I enjoyed ...

+ Stab me the heart why don't you?!

Kali lives in New York, and has a tendency to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Maybe. Tigre lives in Chile. He likes animals better then people, but rainstorms make him a little twitchy and he usually ends up running in them. Sort-of. Venus is a perfect teenage pop-star that everyone ...

Could not put it down!

+ A new type of movie set
+ The Slawter Book 3 In the Demonat series

I picked this book up, read for an hour, and tried, in vain, to stop reading, and get some rest. Needless to say, it didn't work, and for the next hour and a half I read, until I had finished the book. For anyone who was disappointed by Sons of Destiny (from the Cirque Du Freak series) and The ...

Little, Brown Young Readers, 2007

Courtesy of Teens Read Too

Marc Gellman, a senior rabbi from New York, realized that not many young people can understand "parent speak." If you're wondering what that is, it's only because you didn't know it was called that, because believe me, you've heard it spoken a million times. "If your friend jumped off a bridge, ...
