What a beautifully-illustrated, friendship-centered story about Kaidu who came to the Nameless City to become a Dao and meets fearless and courageous Rat who helps him feel like he belongs in the city. There are some politics involved, because the Nam ...more |

Like many others, I went into this—gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous—novel thinking I’d be reading a retelling of Mulan, which suited me just fine. Flame in the Mist is not a fairytale, however beautifully it is written. Mariko and Mulan are both intellig ...more |

This was my first Scott Westerfeld book. I always did mean to read his UGLIES series, but I dread the amount of superficiality I think it contains. SPILL ZONE should not work. If someone had told me the story, I’d be like, ‘‘Uh, that’s all?’’ Because ...more |

No way. I can’t believe how great this book is. If I were a wealthy schoolteacher, I’d gift this to all of my students. This is unlike any memoir I’ve ever read. For starters, it’s a graphic novel, so it’s not your usual memoir. Also, since Shannon H ...more |

| That's it. I'm done. No more. You know, I don't think I've ever DNF'd a graphic novel before, but this is more like half graphic novel, half novel--well, memoir. I just think the illustrations are AWFUL. Sure, they can be funny at times, but how much ...more | |

ONE FOR THE MURPHYS had a huge impact on me as a reader. It tells an important story: that of a child from an abusive home entering the foster care system. The family that welcomes Carley is nothing like her own. She has trouble dealing with the thoug ...more |

| I never thought I'd be reading this book one day because, to be completely honest, I always thought it looked like a silly, childish series. Well, I was half right. It is silly. But so is everyone's middle grade years, no? We do such stupid things at ...more | |

| Quite a philosophical book. Alison Bechdel’s reflections on her identity and relationship with her father are profound, important and absorbing. Great references to literary works. The author also touches on feminism, but not enough in my opinion. Th ...more | |

| Reading this comic was like reading a novel. Good, bad? Good, of course, because I love novels. The writing is lyrical, the art is intricate and beautiful and the story a good kind of weird. I didn't like the repetition because I began to expect the ...more | |
“Clary- "How to Come Out to Your Parents," she read out loud. "LUKE. Don't be ridiculous. Simon's not gay, he's a vampire.”

“The genius of the current caste system, and what most distinguishes it from its predecessors, is that it appears voluntary. People choose to commit crimes, and that's why they are locked up or locked out, we are told. This feature makes the politics of responsibility particularly tempting, as it appears the system can be avoided with good behavior. But herein lies the trap. All people make mistakes. All of us are sinners. All of us are criminals. All of us violate the law at some point in our lives. In fact, if the worst thing you have ever done is speed ten miles over the speed limit on the freeway, you have put yourself and others at more risk of harm than someone smoking marijuana in the privacy of his or her living room. Yet there are people in the United States serving life sentences for first-time drug offenses, something virtually unheard of anywhere else in the world.”

“We're not dating," Alec said again.
"Oh?" Magnus said. "So you're just that friendly with everybody, is that it?”

Simon's greenish color deepened. "If I were, I would dress better.”
