| I had to keep blowing my nose after I finished this book. In some ways, it was like a fairy tale (the rich, handsome, and stand-offish guy falls for the girl from the wrong side of the tracks), but in others it was a book that made you think about wh...more | |

My brother, sister and mom are all dyslexic. My adult brother still struggles with reading. So this book about a kid who can barely read or write by a dyslexic author set off some echoes in me. It's written very simply, so younger readers could theor...more |

| Of course a book about people with terminal cancer is going to hit home for me, especially after losing three friends to the disease in 2011. Blunt, hones, moving. | |

I finished this book in a day and couldn't believe I sat all day reading.
In this book there are multiple turns. It starts out with a girl waking up and finding out that she is going to be killed. Within the story the reader will feel for the girl... " Read more of this review » |

"It is super shiny! I would be afraid to put anything wet on it. Even damp, like cheese."

:) I loved 'Shock Point'! I read it around the beginning of the summer (late June/ early July)and I still think about it every now and then! Thatcher is probably one of my favorite characters of all time.

There's a good book by Gail Carson Levine called Writing Magic that will give you some good ideas about how to be a better writer. You can get it at the library.
It's like anything else - first you're not very good, but if you keep working at it you get better.
Wow! That is so cool! Thank you for passing it on. I have another book out called Torched, about a girl who goes undercover with a radical environmental group. And then next fall I'll have a new one about a blind girl who gets kidnapped called "Girl, Stolen"Thanks for sending me my first-ever message on Good Reads. I can't even figure out why it doesn't show my profile pic.
