Really enjoyed this one. It was scarily realistic. I mean, how would we survive without electricity? No internet? How freaky! This one was so well written. It's only 178 pages, but you are kept on the edge of your seat and hoping that Charlie, his family and friends will make it through everything okay.

This one was delightfully creepy. I finished it quickly in two days. I loved the atmosphere of the story and the villain. So good.

This was different. I'm not sure I've ever read anything quite like it before, at least in the way that it is so general a location. It's weird to think of someone controlling your dreams and thinking it is okay. I also can't imagine a world without music and art. Thought-provoking.

I didn't really care for this one. I liked the slang that added authenticity, but I wasn't really a huge fan of how quickly people's perspectives changed.

I found myself flipping through the pages, hoping to find out what happened next. Jeremiah was so inspirational, and I love how things worked out for them.

I liked this one more than I thought I would. Fuzzy is a robot that is being programmed with fuzzy logic--a robot that learns, and adapts. The school is also one that teaches to the test, and has an AI for a vice principal. Together, Fuzzy and Max work on figuring out what Fuzzy is programmed for, as well as what's happening with Barbara. I enjoyed all the acronyms, and the way Barbara was presented, I think it showed how far our tech obsession could go if left unchecked.

I don't think I've been a huge fan of his other books, but I really liked this one! Bryan gets to the secret bonus level of his favorite video game, and the next thing he knows, his life is turning into one! Funny and a realistic middle school.

I liked it, but I didn't love it. Part of the reason is that the character Gwen is continually referred to as "the clerk." It just irritated me, and got worse as the story goes on. It'd be like, if I was referred as "the librarian" every other paragraph of my life. Otherwise, this was a fun story about synthesia disorder actually being a superpower that only certain people have.

Charlotte, called Lottie, goes through a time portal. Will she ever be able to get home to her best friend Kittie?

I don't know, maybe I just wasn't in the right reading mood for this book, but I didn't love it. I thought Lottie adjusted remarkably well, and I was a little surprised by her being allowed to go on the trip to Italy. That seemed sudden. I also have had more debate about the nature of time travel with this book than any other.

I really liked this retelling of Cinderella's story, alternating chapters between one of the rat coachmen's perspectives and Cinderella's. We learn that the rat is actually a Prince named Char, and that his family have been tied to Cinderella's for generations.

I really hate rats, but I liked this story. I feel like that says a lot. I was rooting for Prince Char the whole time, and I liked how it ended up. Lovely.
