The Princesses of Bamarre by Gail Carson Levine, Review by guest teen reviewer, Nyia
Please welcome our Teen Guest Book Reviewer, Nyia. Here's her review.The Princesses of Bamarre was an enchanting tale that I simply adored. There was adventure, romance, and an unsuspected ending. The creatures in the book were different then you would imagine them to be and that is why the adventure was so enchanting. I loved how the author made the book partly predictable, but different at the

THE KARATE KID – Movie Review
This remake was comfortably familiar and yet surprisingly different – in a good way. I'll be the first to admit that I fell in love with this movie when I was a kid and demanded that I take karate lessons. I even own the older version of which my kids watch from time to time. They really were excited about seeing the updated story and so was I. We were not disappointed.This movie is so endearing

PLAN A VIRTUAL PARTY
Just last week I decided to throw a Virtual Book Launch Party, for my book THE PACK. I wish I would have started it sooner, but hey, better now than never. Believe it or not, there was very little out there on the web about it. I even resorted to posting on yachatlit.ning.com and absolutewrite.com about them. I got a little feedback. So I figure I will let the cat out of the bag and share how to

HIGH SCHOOL BEACH WEEK
Memorial Day weekend the kick off week for 'Beach Week' for High School graduating seniors everywhere. Some kids beg, plead, and sneak to the beach to party before they have to start working for the summer and get ready to grow up. I never participated in this when I was a kid, but my friends did. Not to mention, we ran straight on into 'Beach Week' in Ocean City during a family vacation.

PRINCE OF PERSIA - Movie Review
I had to do it. There was nothing new at the movies this week, but I'm a movie hog and wanted to see some action. Did I get it? Yep, Prince of Persia delivered high on action. The storyline was really weak at first and I must say I got a little miffed at the cliche' boy turned Prince theme. It was endearing at first, but the movie seemed to have "action" for the sake of action and the villains
