TITLE: City of Bones

AUTHOR: Cassandra Clare

REVIEWED BY: Princess Ladybug

BRIEF SUMMARY: Fifteen-year-old Clary Fray & her best friend, Simon, are hanging out at the Pandemonium Club when Clary discovers strange people that Simon can't see. After her mother disappears and Clary herself is almost killed by a monster, she is suddenly drawn into their bizarre world of demons and the Shadowhunters who are dedicated to returning them to their own dimension.

WHY I PICKED IT UP: I'm always on the lookout for something new to read. When a friend said he'd heard good things about it, I rushed right down to the library to check it out.

WHY I FINISHED IT: I couldn't wait to see what happened next. Lots of action moves the plot along nicely as Clary learns to deal with the new world she's found herself in. Each character she meets is more interesting than the last one on her quest to find and rescue her mother.

WHO I'D GIVE IT TO: My niece or anyone who likes books that turn the universe upside down.

CONTENT WARNING: Due to some mature content and language, this book is actually in our adult section. We recommend that you check with your parents before reading this book.




TITLE: The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate

AUTHOR: Jacqueline Kelly

REVIEWED BY: Christina Lister

BRIEF SUMMARY: Callie is living in the Hill Country of Texas at the turn of the century, 1899. She is also at a turn in her own life -- one from being a girl to being a woman, which she doesn't particularly care for. She'd rather be a scientist like her Granddaddy, but her mom has other plans for her.

WHY I PICKED IT UP: I love historical fiction.

WHY I FINISHED IT: Callie and I share a similar childhood.

WHO I'D GIVE IT TO: Any girl who loves living in the country and likes science.

SIMILAR SERIES: The Penderwicks, Little House on the Prairie
