Supernatural

Midnight Howl (by Clare Hutton)

Rating 5

Reviewed by Caitlyn, grade 6

I like Midnight Howl because it is a well written sotry, with juicy detail. I like how at first everyone thinks one person is the wolf, then at the end it was someone completely un-expected. The mystery and how she solves it is amazing.

Fear (by Michael Grant)

Rating 5

Reviewed by Lydia, grade 12

In this book, residents of Perdido Beach, California must learn to live in a world of freakish creatures and even more nightmarish people. All of the residents are under the age of fifteen, however, save for a select few. I loved this book because it continues the story of the FAYZ started in Gone, yet does not become monotonous. It shows how, in this world of nightmares, children must overcome their fear of the most basic darkness.

The Devouring (by Simon Holt)

Rating 5

Reviewed by Kat, grade 9

For anyone who loves suspense, goosebumps, and anxiety, The Devouring is for you.  Your heart races, the hair on the back of your neck rises, and you can't wait to turn the page.  The book casts you there to what Reggie, one of the main characters is feeling and experiencing.  You will feel anger, fear, dread, joy, and sympathy with the book characters.  If you love the Devouring, don't forget to read the other two: Soulstice and Fearscape.

Witch and Wizard (by James Patterson)

Rating 5

Reviewed by Elizabeth, grade 7

I really liked the Witch & Wizard because it was told from two points of view (Wisty & Whit's)  the only bad part is you sometimes have to go back and see who is talking.  Another thing is the characters are really and really retermined to beat the one who took over and banned all magic.  But the best part was the short chapters with cliffhanger endings that keep you turning the page all the way to the end.

City of Lost Souls (by Cassandra Clare)

Rating 5

Reviewed by Sarah, grade 8

In City of Lost Souls, Clary joins Jace and Sebastian to tell her friends what this plan is.  I like this book because Clary won't give into seeing Jace but to try to save him while still blending in with Sebastian's evilness.

Fear is the 5th book in the Gone series by Michael Grant.  The children of the FAYZ are determined to survive, but when the dome surrounding them starts turning black, everyone freaks out.  As the Darkness continues trying to take over, and the FAYZ turns black, the children of the FAYZ realize things about themselves, and struggle to endure.  This story has you feeling for the children, and won't let you put down the book.
