Nophoto-u-25x33 I am starting on City of Ashes


1566203 I've just began Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson ...At intervals, difficult to understand, but it's very exciting! Disney made a movie (As you can see by my profile picture, 12-7-2009,) but it's nowhere near the book...Still an amazing movie. I cried! :'(
I'm liking the book very much, though!

Each book leads into the other and ties up very well at the end. So i will tell you about the first one the Warriors Heir. Its about a kid who was born with a heart condition that requires him to take meds everyday. One day he forgets to take them and notices that he feels alot better and is stronger he hurles some kid across a feild durring a soccer game without touching him. He finds out he is one of the last survivers of the warriors guild and is destined to fight to the death in a tournament that is held by the other guilds.

OOH! I can't wait to get furth..."


I was totally hooked from the start too, I like the books because there's always something happening, and there's a lot of drama. I've also got a few of my friends hooked on it now. Although I thought that the 5th book, Hunted, seemed kinda like a filler, and that it could have been more interesting.
Have you read the Vampire Academy series yet? Cause if you like these books I'm sure that you'll like the Vampire Academy ones too, I thought that they were even better, I loved them.

Hi, Gini -

Has she read The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants? One of the characters on the series has a conflicted relationship with her single father (her mother committed suicide). That plot thread continues into the second book in the series when the character realizes her father has been keeping her maternal grandmother a secret.

This same character also loses her virginity in the first book, but it is alluded to rather then shown, and the emotional consequences are depicted realistically as the character has a pretty tough time dealing with that part of it.

As a bonus, the first two books were also made into pretty decent movies, so maybe after she reads the books she could watch the movies....

I hope this help!

MZ

2682871 have a question for this group. My friend's daughter is 11, and splits her time living with her single dad and her mom. She's going through a tough time with her dad. She feels he doesn't understand that she's changing emotionally and physically. Because he's divorced she also views him as lonely and even somewhat off putting to others. He is moody and has a bad temper, but clearly loves her.

She's very bright and rather wise for so young a girl. I'm wondering whether any of you have heard of any very good YA novels about fathers and daughters. her parents allow a certain amount of sex, etc. in her novel choices, but I can't give her a book that has a lot of sex and cussing, if you know what I mean.

Thanks so much.

999233 I just got my hands on a copy of Catching Fire (Hunger Games, #2) and I cannot wait to read it! I just read the first sentence and it sent shivers of down my spine...and then I ended up reading the whole first chapter before I realized that I had some homework that needed to be completed...
