Examine a castle from the inside out  |
|
Stephen Biesty carved out his own niche in books by grabbing a concept and doing it well, over and over again. The concept was to take a well-known but complex thing or things, like a castle, and make them more understandable by giving a series of drawings, showing what that object would look like if it were sliced in sections. Kind of sounds like an MRI in medicine! The drawings are bright, colorful, and extremely detailed. There are also short, clearly-written descriptions of the castle and some of its aspects. These books make great gifts for older kids, who will get a kick out of the fact that most items show the bathrooms in use, and dont be surprised if an adult or two peeks at the book several times.

This is a great book! |

This was a great book! I fell in love with it the moment I finished the first chapter. I know what Lucy was going through with her mates because I was in the same situation once. I felt left out just like she did but then things got way better. I havent read a funny yet inspirational teen book like this in ages, so I was glad I purchased it. When I got done with the book, I made my mum run out to the book shop so I could read the second one. And now so far I have read all the books in the series. Ms. Hopkins, keep them coming!

Read It and Weep (with laughter)!  |
|
Wondering through the Library one lazy sunday, I spotted this and decided to give it a go. Man am I ever glad I did. Possibly the most realistic book I have ever read, I totally indentified with everything.
You will definately know somebody like the main Characters: Lucy- shy, quiet and not sure where shes going in life; Nesta- Hip, confident, a real go-getter; Izzie- rebellious, different, lives for the moment.
The perfect book for anybody who has ever had to deal with career choices, bossy teachers, new friends, bad hair days and deranged parents.
If I can even convince one person to read this book, I will die happy!
