    <body><![CDATA[The Emerald Tablet has elements of science, elements of fantasy, and--most importantly--elements of a great plot! Tracking the summer of Benjamin and his best friend as they discover their unique abilities and where they fit in with the world is an exciting read, but just as good is learning about how the friendship between the boy and their new friends develop and grow. An excellent book for fans of the genre, especially if you also like allusions to myth and literature and like using books to explore new worlds, both fictional and non.<br/><br/>For a spoiler-ish &quot;Writer's Review&quot; of this book, go to my blog, <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://bethrevis.blogspot.com/2008/12/book-review-pj-hoovers-emerald-tablet.html">Writing it Out.</a>]]></body>
