The Kidnapping of Christina Lattimore 37 reviews Joan Lowery Nixon
Harcourt Paperbacks, 2004
Lauren Burke's amazing review!
+ Teen's Review + Suspense at its best!
"What are you doing? I'm Christina Lattimore. These people kidnapped me!" (Nixion, 1979, pg.123). "She worked this thing out to look like a kidnapping! She wanted to get the money from her grandmother! You saw her with the gun!" (Nixon, 1979, pg.123). Christina Lattimore is normal teenage girl. She ...

Massive 13 reviews Julia Bell
Simon Pulse, 2005
Emotional Read
+ Great Novel About Anorexia
A short read, but the dynamics between the main character and her mother are very real and believable. The characters are developed well, despite the length of the book.

Chase Von, The Last Panther's Review
+ Better than film + Personal, but (seemingly) honest memoir
Having PTSD myself from Wars and other things, I thought this was a great movie! I didn't read the book first however and normally I do but from what I gather the movie in this instance was much better than the book...
I have read One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest and in many ways this reminded ...

Letters from the Inside 77 reviews John Marsden
Laurel Leaf, 1996
The Ending Is Like A Stealth Bomber Attack
+ Letters fromthe Inside + Good Read
I think some of today's best writing comes from the "young adult female" (i.e. teen girl) genre. I'll unabashedly say I read a half-dozen of these books a year, though I left membership in that demographic in the last decade.
Australian John Marsden's novel might stun post-teen readers with how ...

Push, 2002
Introspection of a fictional girl
+ Insightful
While this is a fictional account of self-harm, I felt that it was a fair portrayal of the main character who is attempting to deal with familial issues the best way she knows how. I have read horrendous books that were intended to have the same effect that this story had...and from my reading (so ...

I loved Inkspell - Absolutely loved it. It was in the series of books that first inspired me to write. The plot was just entrancing... who else ever thought of being able to read yourself into a book? Certainly many people wished they could, but I don't know of anyone else who has written about it. ...

My book, Pirates, is full of wonderful and risk taking characters. My first character is Nancy Kington, she is a rich young lady who runs away to become a pirate. Nancy runs away because she shot and killed a rich slave owner named Duke. Another character is Minerva Sharp, she was Nancy's slave but ...
