Teen Read Week Winners (Part Two)...

As promised, here are the reviews submitted by our runners-up, sisters Maddy & Abbigail Mathis.

12-year-old Abbigail reviewed Lauren Oliver's Delirium:


TITLE: Delirium

AUTHOR: Lauren Oliver

REVIEWED BY: Abbigail Mathis

BRIEF SUMMARY: Love is a disease. The only way to escape it is the cure. But some people don't see it as a disease, so they attempt an escape to the wilds.

WHY I PICKED IT UP: It sounded interesting.

WHY I FINISHED IT: It was a suspenseful book that I couldn't put down.

WHO I'D GIVE IT TO: My best friend, Emma.


17-year-old Maddy reviewed Thomas E. Ricks's Making the Corps:


TITLE: Making the Corps

AUTHOR: Thomas E. Ricks

REVIEWED BY: Maddy Mathis

BRIEF SUMMARY: A Marine tells about his journey through boot camp the trials everyone has to overcome and get past in order for them to come together as one.

WHO I'D GIVE IT TO: My other friends who plan on joining the Marines as well.
