It was a fun middle grade fantasy book, but it was also wise and thoughtful, with some powerful real-world connections.
Ash was a great heroine, relatable but also brave, and Fin was such a fun character. But my favorite character by far was Puppy, who is absolutely hilarious and so cute! They made this story entertaining, with a wonderful theme of found family and friendship.
It was also such a page turner, and the twists blew me away. My mom also read it, and when I finished we were talking about all the amazing plot twists and how it all came together in the end...
But I think this book's greatest strength is its wisdom and connection to real issues today. It'll be an excellent book for classrooms or book clubs, since it's fun for kids (and also teens and adults!) but it's also thought-provoking and gives you a lot to discuss.
Basically, I can't recommend it enough. Everyone should read this enjoyable, wise adventure story....more

Nonstop entertainment! Wow, this was even better than I expected. There's drama, twists, romance, a revenge plot--and it all takes place at a boarding school! The characters are morally gray, which makes the drama even more fun. The characters are also super unique and interesting, and everyone has secrets (even the main character keeps secrets from the audience!) so I was flying through the pages, desperate to learn what happened.
And when everything came together, I was so satisfied and impressed. Seriously, this book is like a combination of mystery and gossip, and it was just amazing. You want entertainment? Read this book. It's awesome....more

Dead Ends make me cry and smile. It is a wonderful story with a cute premise; at times it is deep, at other hilarious.
I believe in diversity in books, and there are so many types of people to include. In Dead Ends, Billy D has down syndrome, and Dane has a hard past. Together they learn acceptance, and heal each other in different ways.
I read Dead Ends in less than a day. It's a book that needs to be read....more

American Royals is actually so good! All of the POVs feel super developed, I love some characters and hate others. There's nonstop drama and suspense, and things are ridiculously complicated. This book is pure entertainment!
That ending was a real downer...I need the second book now! No one writes gossipy books like Kathatrine McGee and I need more!...more

All of Donna Cooner's books are the perfect balance between light-hearted realistic fiction and everyday moral dilemmas. Love it! ...more
