That is, without question them much-if you don't count her secret visits to the Ironton County Mobile Library on Wheels to read forbidden books, or her meeting with Joshua, the boy she hopes to choose for herself instead of having a man chosen for her. But when the Prophet decrees that she must marry her sixty-year-old uncle-who already has six wives-Kyra must make a desperate choice in the face of violence and her own fears of losing her family forever. </span></span><br /><br /><br />Oh my gosh, what can I say. This book is incredible and heart breaking. <span style="font-weight: bold;">The Chosen One</span> basically takes place in a Mormon cult and some of the things they do in a cult are horrible. In this book, a thirteen-year-old girl named Kyra is destined to marry her sixty-year-old uncle. The story is amazing, but you can't help feel sorry for these people. The characters in this book say that they are doing God's will, but everything they do in this book isn't God's will. It's really sad.<br /><br />I'm really glad that I read this book because it's really interesting to learn about these type of people, and I'm happy that the book ended well. So I do recommend teens to read this book, but keep in mind that some of the parts in this book are pretty unbelievable.<br /><br />But if you get past all of those things, the story is very well written and a great page turner. I read this book in six days.<br /><br />So please, read this book, it's a good one!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Who is your favorite character?</span> <span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Well, there's not a lot of lovable characters in this book, but I would have to say that Kyra and Laura are my favorite characters. But I am a sucker for babies, so I loved Mariah, too.<br /><br /></span></span><span style="font-weight: bold;">What did you like about this book? </span><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" >The thing that I liked about this book is that Kyra knew that she had to get away, and also that the book ended well. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">What's your favorite part of this book? <span style="font-size:130%;">SPOILER ALERT!!</span></span> <span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">My favorite part in this book would have to be the part when the police arrive, the God Squad is arrested, and Kyra gets to be with someone that understands what she went through.</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Romance: </span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">There is only a little bit of romance because part of the plot-line is that she falls in love with a boy her age but she is destined to marry her uncle. Her uncle tries to get her to kiss her goodnight, but she won't. She talks and thinks about how she can't let him touch her when they're married. Joshua and Kyra kiss a few times.</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Violence</span>: <span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">There is some violence in this book, not it's not gory. I think the worst scene was how they punish the babies just because they won't stop crying. They punish them by getting a big tub of ice water, taking the babies clothing off, plugging the babies nose and dunking them under a few times. This was the part that almost made me cry. There are a couple of beating scenes where the girls get beat up for disobeying the Brothers or Prophets. One character is shot and dies. </span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Drug Use: </span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">None</span></span>.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Language:</span> <span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Just a few "what the hells."</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Alcohol: </span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">None. </span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Other: </span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">When Kyra and her mothers go into town, they see a girl smoking. Talk of how any other clothing for girls except dresses that cover their whole entire body is from the devil. </span></span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:100%;">This book is a best seller and has been recommend by some of my favorite and best-selling authors, so please read this book and become another person that loves this book.<br /><br /><br />Natalie<br /></span><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span>Nataliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01859299377479594581noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3852790222501349962.post-74530086597868024182011-01-08T11:25:00.000-08:002011-01-08T12:14:32.528-08:00Holes by Louis Sachar<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwegU2eiZVm0eHx7TBwlsmfqV3TZggBB0AaCWKEIV92degsVI3dfJ_hdgIkSxt9bLSnzOdxeL04I2Gu4MjWlCFx6SJ-leivga9yX9sqhoBF7Qb-T6OYnijdeJaaQdiiQSiwzrvS-OPAOY/s1600/holes.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwegU2eiZVm0eHx7TBwlsmfqV3TZggBB0AaCWKEIV92degsVI3dfJ_hdgIkSxt9bLSnzOdxeL04I2Gu4MjWlCFx6SJ-leivga9yX9sqhoBF7Qb-T6OYnijdeJaaQdiiQSiwzrvS-OPAOY/s400/holes.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5559899699321951746" border="0" /></a><br />Title: <span style="font-weight: bold;">Holes</span><br /><br />Author: Louis Sachar<br /><br />Stars: 5<br /><br />Description: <span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Stanley Yelnat's family has a history of bas luck, so he isn't to surprised when a miscarriage of justice sends him to a boys' juvenile detention center, Camp Green Lake. There is no lake- it has been dry for over a hundred years-and it's hardly a camp: as punishment, the boys must each dig a hole a day, fire feet deep, five feet across, in the hard earth of the dried-up lake bed. The warden claims that this pointless labor builds character, but that's a lie. Stanley must try to dig up the truth. In this wonderfully inventive, compelling novel that is both serious and fun, Louis Sachar weaves a narrative puzzle that tangles and untangles, until it becomes clear that the hand of fate has been at work in the lives of the characters-and their forebears=for generations. It is a darkly humorous tale of crime and punishment-and redemption. </span></span><br /><br /><br />This book is incredible. This is my second time reading it and the mystery is still interesting. <span style="font-style: italic;">Louis Sachar </span>is an amazing author. This book is well thought out and it must have taken a while to think up this story so all the pieces fit together, but this author did it. I really do advise you to read this book. The mystery of this story will take hold of you until you finish the last page.<br /><br />I haven't read a mystery book like this since the last time I read this book. The mystery is just so complex and it makes you gasp because everything starts to fit together at the end. So please, read this book, you won't be sorry.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Who is your favorite character?</span> <span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Zero has to be my favorite character. He is my favorite character because he is just so kind and has a good heart. And I'm glad that everything ends up good for him. </span></span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">What did you like about this book?</span><span style="font-size: 85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;"> I think I've said it about a hundred times already, but the mystery is what I like about this book. But all the characters and settings are pretty amazing in this book too.<br /><br /></span></span><span style="font-weight: bold;">What's your favorite part of this book? </span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Oh, wow. I don't know what my favorite part of this book is. I did really like the chapters in the book that had Sam and Kate Barlow in it.</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Romance: </span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">There is no </span>offensive<span style="font-style: italic;"> romance in this book. There is one kiss, and a part in the book where one character is trying to make another character become his wife.</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Violence</span>: <span style="font-size: 85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">There's not really any violence. There is talk of rattle-snakes and yellow-spotted lizards and how one bite of a yellow-spotted lizard can kill you. SPOILER ALERT! <span style="font-size:85%;">There is </span></span></span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">also one scene where Kate Barlow gets pushed around by a man and his wife trying to get her to show them where her treasure is. And another where Kate Barlow gets bitten by a yellow-spotted lizards but it's not graphic at all. Zero also drinks some spoiled peaches and has really bad stomach cramps. Zero slams a shovel into a characters face. There is one fight scene that is a little graphic, just punches being thrown, no blood or anything. I know this may seem like a lot, but it was nothing. Just part of the story.</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Drug Use:</span> <span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">None.</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Language: </span><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" >One "oh my god" and one "what the hell?"<br /></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Alcohol:</span> <span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">There is one part in the book where the sheriff tries to get Kate Barlow to kiss but she won't because for one, she's not in love with him, and two, he's drunk. But that's only one very small part of the book.</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Other:</span> <span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Mr. Sir smokes, and some talk about the the camp was abusive. </span></span><br /><br /><br />Please read this book. You won't regret it.<br /><br /><br /><br />NatalieNataliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01859299377479594581noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3852790222501349962.post-66762070552315524922010-12-26T10:38:00.000-08:002011-01-26T12:28:05.121-08:00Evermore by Alyson Noel<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOakSX_b4_m8IWl1i2VRXCAHi94BrXu0QnWvrkfETlj7RgEkNsoZBdigbXmHUDjhcNPXw5-AwcMBwRgRw0l0x5hs2f7aniIRqW4nBk2BI1jA8qOFzuKuP0TAIRmWWS5sGP2o1ktv5sF3E/s1600/evermore.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOakSX_b4_m8IWl1i2VRXCAHi94BrXu0QnWvrkfETlj7RgEkNsoZBdigbXmHUDjhcNPXw5-AwcMBwRgRw0l0x5hs2f7aniIRqW4nBk2BI1jA8qOFzuKuP0TAIRmWWS5sGP2o1ktv5sF3E/s400/evermore.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5555062555464259586" border="0" /></a><br />Title: <span style="font-weight: bold;">Evermore</span><br /><br />Author: Alyson Noel<br /><br />Stars: 3 1/2<br /><br />Description:<span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span><span style="font-style: italic;">After a horrible accident claims the lives of her </span> Auguste. <span style="font-style: italic;">family, sixteen year old Ever Bloom can see people's aura's, hear their thoughts, and know some one's entire life story by touching them. Going out of her way to avoid human contact and suppress her abilities, she has been branded a freak at her new high school-but everything changes when she meets Damen. Damen is gorgeous, exotic, and wealthy. He's the only one who can silence the noise and random energy in her head-wielding a magic so intense, it's as though he can peer straight into her soul. As Ever is drawn deeper into his enticing world of secrets and mystery, she's left with more questions then answers. And she has no idea just who he really is- or what he is. The only thing she knows to be true is that she;s falling deeply and helplessly in love with him</span></span><span style="font-style: italic;">.</span><br /><br /><br />So, I really liked this book. For the story part. There was a whole bunch of stuff that I didn't agree with though. There was language, sexual things, violence, and alcohol. Other then that, this book is a lot like <span style="font-weight: bold;">Twilight</span>. But <span style="font-weight: bold;">Twilight</span> doesn't have any of those things, except an occasional "D" word and a little bit of violence. So if I was rating it on the story I would keep it at 3 1/2, but if I was rating it on how much bad stuff was in the book I would rate it at about a 1 1/2.<br /><br />But if you get past all of those things, the story is very good. You'll be staying up late like I did to finish it.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Who is your favorite character?</span> <span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">I don't really have a favorite character. But if I had to choose one, and get passed all the stupid things she did, it would have to be Ever.</span><br /></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">What did you like about this book?</span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;"> I liked the story.

For by day, in London's Kensington Gardens, he walks and talks with the pixies and sprites and other magical creatures that dwell among the living-but are unseen by most. And at night in his room, a boy much like himself, yet not, beckons to Paul from the mirror to come adventuring. It's a happy life for Paul, made all the more by the birth of his baby sister. But everything changes when tragedy strikes, and Paul concludes that there's only one course of action he can take to dispel and the darkness and makes thing right again. And like countless heroes before him, he knows that he must risk everything save the day. Thus begins a quest that will lead Paul down the city's bustling streets, to a curio shop where a magical ally awaits him and launches him to the starry skies, bound for a realm where anything is possible. Far from home, he will run with fierce Indian warriors, cross swords with fearsome pirate, befriend a magnificent white tiger, and soar beside an extraordinary ageless boy who reigns in a boundless world in imagination.</span></span><br /><br /><br />This book is like a teen retelling of Peter Pan. I was kind of surprised at how different it was, but it was good different. I loved the way that the author, <span style="font-style: italic;">Peter David</span>, used his imagination and created a whole new story for Peter Pan. There is the regular Peter Pan things in there, Caption Hook is Caption Hack and he has a sister named Caption Slash. Tinkerbell is Fiddlefix and there is an Indian Princess, too.<br /><br />I did like this book. My mom had read it a few years ago and I finally picked it up and started reading it. In some ways this author reminds me of <span style="font-style: italic;">Lemony Snicket</span> because the author always started talking in the middle of his book, but not as a character but just as the author. Do you guys understand that?<br /><br />I really did love this book and I also loved how it ended.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Who is your favorite character?</span> <span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">I really liked Paul and "The Boy" (who you can tell is Peter Pan). They were both two different characters, but I liked them both. I liked how Paul wanted to please his mom by bringing home a new baby girl. </span> </span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">What did you like about this book?</span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;"> I liked that it was unique and that all the characters where unique.</span><br /></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">What's your favorite part of this book? </span><span style="font-size:180%;">SPOILER ALERT! <span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">I liked when Paul got his name, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Tigerheart</span> and I also like the part at the end of the book were Paul returns to his family and The Boy finds outs why the window was closed.</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Romance: </span><span style="font-size:85%;">There is a little bit of romance, some of which I was really surprised by. </span><span style="font-size:180%;">SPOILER ALERT!</span><span style="font-size:85%;">There is one part in the book where The Boy is aging and the Indian Princess takes him into the tent and has guards outside and won't lent anybody in until morning. And when Gwenny (who you can tell is Wendy) and Paul go into the tent the next morning, The Boy is out of the tent and Princess Picca (the Indian Princess) is wrapped in a blanket with bar shoulders and bar feet. So you can kind of tell what was going on but the book never says what happens, that you have to keep it up to your imagination. But I was kind of disappointed about this part.<br /></span></span></span><br />Violence: <span style="font-size:85%;">Well, this book is a lot like Peter Pan so of course there is a lot of sword fights. There is a lot of that, but it's not gruesome. </span><br /><br />Drug Use: <span style="font-size:85%;">None</span><br /><br />Language: <span style="font-size:85%;">There is a little bit of language but not to horrible. There is about 2-3 "D" words and I think one Oh my Go*.</span><br /><br /><br />But over all of this, this book was "awesome!"<br /><br /><br />NatalieNataliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01859299377479594581noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3852790222501349962.post-13977550836397877422010-12-02T09:02:00.000-08:002010-12-02T09:54:57.593-08:00Hannah Montana Forever<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEMejq5lggt9mZauqZix-qh7toQAMWUX3hj3qJDCYEFebvVE7LEFQ4eLULV59qupWgGdM2oOB4SwMri_7FauxEhlQ9rk9KrJc9fhZHovAlmCw-Bewb3KsZYvElHMXQcURhU2vWOvm68Cg/s1600/hm.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEMejq5lggt9mZauqZix-qh7toQAMWUX3hj3qJDCYEFebvVE7LEFQ4eLULV59qupWgGdM2oOB4SwMri_7FauxEhlQ9rk9KrJc9fhZHovAlmCw-Bewb3KsZYvElHMXQcURhU2vWOvm68Cg/s400/hm.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5546131702037227762" border="0" /></a><br />Title: Hannah Montana Forever<br /><br />Disney<br /><br />Rated: G<br /><br />Stars: 3<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />First of all, I was kind of disappointed by this movie. I guess I misunderstood and thought it would have the last episodes of the whole entire season. So the first one was the only one I hadn't seen. But over all, I really did like how she revealed herself and I thought it was pretty good. Just make sure that the viewers know that this DVD is just a DVD with about 4-6 episodes where in each one she reveals herself to the world and her friends.<br /><br /><br />NatalieNataliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01859299377479594581noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3852790222501349962.post-87168061054115725742010-10-11T17:18:00.000-07:002010-10-11T17:20:56.260-07:00Just Something to NoteI'm sure most of you know that I do coming soon posts, but I only show one book review that is coming soon.

At sixteen, she is beautiful and strong, and all the young wolves are on her tail. But Vivian still grieves for her dead father; her pack remains leaderless and in disarray, and she feels lost in the suburbs of Maryland. She longs for a normal life. But what is normal for a werewolf? Then Vivian falls in love with a human, a meat-boy. Aiden is kind and gentle, a welcome relief from the squabbling pack. He;s fascinated by magic, and Vivian longs to reveal herself to him. Surely he would understand her and delight in the wonder of her dual nature, not fear her as an ordinary human would. Vivian's divided loyalties are strained further when a brutal murder threatens to expose the pack.

I've had such a crazy summer. In fact it's been one of the worst summers ever. I have had FOUR HOSPITAL STAYS THIS SUMMER. I know, that's part of the reason why I haven't had very much time to read.<br /><br /><br /><br />I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease this summer. Crohn's diease is an inflammatory bowel disease, and if you don't know what that is just ask. I had my first hospital stay in June, that was only for two days. After that I had another hospital stay at the end of July, and I stayed in the hospital for 7 days. I had developed abscesses because I had been eating food, and food got stuck in my intestines and then it started to rot. I know, disgusting. Anyway, to broke through and started an abscess.<br /><br /><br /><br />I had that abscess drained, and everything seemed well. In the mean time, I had been on three different meds for the inflammation, but the inflammation hadn't gotten any better. I went home for 8 days and that next Monday, I ended up in the hospital...again. I had developed THREE MORE ABSCESSES! By that time that was my 5th CT scan, and on the C T scan they saw that they couldn't drain the abscesses because there was a thing like a bridge, combining all three to my intestine. So if they put a drain in, my intestine would keep feeding it.<br /><br />So the doctors just put me on a heavy dose of antibiotics and sent me home, after 5 days in the hospital. My doctor sent me home NPO (nothing by mouth) and I was eating clear liquids for a month. Why he did that was because he wanted to give ones of the medications a chance to work, and every time I ate food, I developed abscesses, so he wanted NO food at all in my stomach so the meds had a chance to work.<br /><br />After a month we did another CT scan to see if the medication had worked. The three abscesses were gone, but the inflammation wasn't. :( So we decided to talk with a surgeon.<br /><br />I had surgery on Thursday, and I've been in the hospital ever since. The surgeon took out all my intestines and examined them, and the rest of the looked really good. So that was a little bit of good news.<br /><br />So...as you have read...I have had a ruff summer. But I am almost done the The Lord of the Rings, I have forty pages left and I will hopefully finish it this week.<br /><br /><br />Thanks for understanding.<br /><br />NatalieNataliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01859299377479594581noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3852790222501349962.post-53943443280863965472010-07-15T10:29:00.000-07:002010-07-15T10:35:05.211-07:00Bones of Faerie by Janni Lee Simner<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimFls1rtClb1cTlN9qvb2Oez1A36jvcekTkicqHQFQH9RU6og2JHLir2NnDfaqOMTxdxBEDcKSS85wKM3927ZUWR34P7bLxJ-O_H0YsEcxWc4svwNWQH_B4TiCrzfSP5VjdnLzli_orm4/s1600/bones+of+faerie.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 300px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494186629000019458" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimFls1rtClb1cTlN9qvb2Oez1A36jvcekTkicqHQFQH9RU6og2JHLir2NnDfaqOMTxdxBEDcKSS85wKM3927ZUWR34P7bLxJ-O_H0YsEcxWc4svwNWQH_B4TiCrzfSP5VjdnLzli_orm4/s400/bones+of+faerie.jpg" /></a><br /><div> </div><div> </div><div>Title: Bones of Faerie</div><div> </div><div>Author: Janni Lee Simner</div><div> </div><div>Stars: 3</div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div>I found this book very different then anything else I had ever read before.

This is a great book if you want a good adventure, and I'm going to soon read the actual Lord of the Rings series. </div><div> </div><div>How many of you have read this book and loved it?</div><div> </div><div> </div><div>Natalie</div><div><em><span style="font-size:78%;"></span></em> </div><div> </div>Nataliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01859299377479594581noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3852790222501349962.post-38408890482499603832010-04-20T10:13:00.000-07:002011-01-23T11:27:28.739-08:00In Too Deep by Jude Watson<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfGNViF56YF6wYw5DFPdnL25KME88VMuonTZQLhwcKJVmlYA7QnUm3eE7_ZTsqoQAIQsVw2dW2oVWQZ_V5EXFL6vrg2CQLsnLxfnTcVFANgp17oGWN7Uk0iGwueh1Yl4Mjxo_tWfmZKMw/s1600/39clues1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; width: 300px; float: left; height: 300px;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462269959300799186" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfGNViF56YF6wYw5DFPdnL25KME88VMuonTZQLhwcKJVmlYA7QnUm3eE7_ZTsqoQAIQsVw2dW2oVWQZ_V5EXFL6vrg2CQLsnLxfnTcVFANgp17oGWN7Uk0iGwueh1Yl4Mjxo_tWfmZKMw/s400/39clues1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div> </div><div>Title: In Too Deep</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div> </div><div>Author: Jude Watson</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div> </div><div>Stars: 3</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><br /><div>Description: <em><span style="font-size:78%;">Fourteen-year-old Amy and her younger brother, Dan, head to the Land Down Under to discover what their own mother and father knew about the hunt for the 39 Clues.

A gripping, heart-wrenching, and wholly remarkable tale of coming-of-age in a South poisoned by virulent prejudice, it views a world of great beauty and savage inequities through the eyes of a young girl, as her father -- a crusading local lawyer -- risks everything to defend a black man unjustly accused of a terrible crime.</span></em></div><div><em><span style="font-size:78%;"></span></em></div><div><em><span style="font-size:78%;"></span></em></div><div><em><span style="font-size:78%;"></span></em></div><div><em><span style="font-size:78%;"></span></em></div><div><em><span style="font-size:78%;"></span></em></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div>This book is absolutely, with no doubt, one of my favorite books.
