I won't give away the plot twists but it's a funny novel that's not what you expect it to be from the title. After I read it, I thought, I could enjoy this book as a movie or weekly tv show. There's a little bit of everyone in all of the characters, so all readers, who want love or to be loved, can learn something new from this story. It left me hooked!(less)

Ms. Wolff's debut novel, The Girlz of Galstanberry features five spunky, sassy but smart American girls from varied backgrounds who were accepted into the exclusive Galstanberry school. This book gives you a glimpse into their respective lives pre-Galstanberry. I'm still chuckling from the characters weeks later. It's a great read! You'll find both on Amazon or through the author's website. The second book in the series arrives this month. Read both so you may relive your preteen years then gift it to a young reader. Or you may keep it on your bookshelf. I will. (less)

Kudos to the author for spinning an eclectic ensemble of five (5) sixth grade girls each with her own distinct regional voice, adding dashes of bold supportive players (classmates) who are a force in and of themselves, and neatly weaving all into one fabulously fluid storyline. I can easily see readers between eight and twelve years of age captivated with the Galstanberry Girlz and the cliques, tricks and hic(cups) from everyday life on the sprawling grounds of this exclusive all girls east coast boarding school. It's a great, well written pre-tween and 'tween read. (less)

Where the people who appear normal may or may not be. Here you'll meet young survivors of a destroyed community once bustling with special people with unique, supernatural gifts. Readers will follow three teens on their journey from the bowels of an asylum to the hilltop safe haven of a boarding school. Or is it, safe? I found the long, rocky road to their self-discovery quite intriguing, insightful and poignant. Diane Mayer Christensen delivers a clever sequel that when finished, you'll wonder, "what happens next?"

Beneath the earth lies the land of Insectopolis and all its squirmy, crawly, fluttering creatures. Because it reads like a play you may envision the story performed on stage or screen as I did. The storyline centers around bullying which is so timely today in most schools. That's why I would highly recommend this book for 1st thru 4th grade students and educators. It works great for classroom sustained reading time or as read aloud book at home. My 8 year oldyoung son read it, remembered the story line and gave it two thumbs up.(less)

Very nice glimpse into the lives of regular women and the power source each one taps to fuel their desire to do more in their lives despite the social challenges of their time.
I read the book intermittently whenever I needed motivating. But I recognized it as a learning tool for many in the dominant population to understand a group of people similar to themselves but born with more melanin.
