Sheinkin is rapidly rising to the top of my middle/high school narrative nonfiction book list. He is informative, educational, exciting, and compelling all in one. As someone who is trying to work the common core into her library work, I appreciate h...more

Oh my goodness, this book is fabulous! I enjoyed the 20's lingo, fashion descriptions, and general flapper-tastic-ness of this book. There's a great, spooky mystery and a wonderful, spunky heroine. The only downside is the length of the book which mi...more

Oh my holy freaking out Batman. This was a very quick read for me with a compelling, terrifying story. I can't get into too much without giving stuff away, but I didn't find it as realistic as other abduction stories (probably to the benefit of my sl...more

Solid follow up to Cinder. I had been worried that the book wouldn't grab my attention like the first one, but I ended up really liking it. It held my attention, though it wasn't quite as compelling as Cinder. I will definitely read the next one in t...more

So very, very disturbing on many levels. Not only is it disturbing to see Dahmer's early victims and peculiarities, it makes me think of all of the places where someone could have reached out and helped him. It also makes me worried for any budding s...more

Thick but very interesting. I found myself compelled to finish. Fabulous character development, and an awesome, complicated world that pulled me in. I will totally read the sequel.
