myntop 's review for:
The Serpent King
by Jeff Zentner
This was another book suggested by my favorite librarian at the Urbandale Library! I went in to get a few books and she pulled this one off the shelf and told me I would enjoy it. She was not wrong. It was a little slow in the beginning for me to get into, but once I was I had trouble putting it down.
I was really drawn into the lives of these three friends and how they were incredibly different and yet still so connected. That is true friendship, when it's based on who you are as a person and not what you're into, where your family came from, what your beliefs are...you just truly like the people for who they are on the inside.
It's a very emotional read, so be prepared for that. There is so much going on in the lives of these teens and there is just about every emotion imaginable in this story. Definitely have tissues on hand.
I think high school aged teens will enjoy and benefit from this story. It covers many issues they will be facing and some that I hope they will never face.
