Adapting television to literature is a difficult task. Doing it well, that is a feat in and of itself. And adapting a property as well known and beloved as Sabrina the Teenage Witch doesn’t make the job any easier. Keeping that in mind, Sarah Rees Brennan does decently with her book Season of the Witch (Chilling […]
Jennifer Donnelly returns with a dark fairytale twist in her latest book, Stepsister. Donnelly’s new book follows a popular recipe of late, taking a secondary character of a popular story often a character who is antagonistic, and making them a protagonist. This story focuses on Isabelle, an “ugly” stepsister. Donnelly embraces the wonderful celebration of unconventional beauty, and […]
Quarantine: A Love Story by Katie Cicatelli-Kuc is the perfect concoction for a young, teenage book. The idea behind the story– teen boy and teen girl get quarantined for thirty days and fall in love– is harmless enough. The sheer impulsiveness and thoughtlessness that gets them there, however, quickly makes the book inaccessible, at least […]

Scott Westerfeld finally allows readers to return to the beloved Uglies Universe, in his newest installation IMPOSTORS. I, for one, was a huge fan of the Uglies series when I was in middle school. I read them more times than I can count, and I was thrilled to hear that there would be a new chapter in the […]
Tess Sharpe’s THE EVOLUTION OF CLAIRE is a non-vital, but thoroughly enjoyable chapter in the JURASSIC PARK story. A movie adaptation based on a book may be hard, but a book adaptation based on a movie will always be harder. The Evolution of Claire by Tess Sharpe is thrown another curveball based on the fact that the […]
Kate Evangelista’s THE BOYFRIEND BRACKET is a cute but predictable YA contemporary romance. The Boyfriend Bracket by Kate Evangelista is a fun and lighthearted read with a semi misleading title. Being that this is a review without spoilers, it is hard to talk about the majority of the book, seeing as the plot takes a […]
