http://bookwind.blogspot.com/2014/05/clockwork-angel-infernal-devices-series.html
160; Young Adult Literature . Friday, May 2, 2014. Clockwork Angel (The Infernal Devices Series) By Cassandra Clare and HyeKyung Baek. Because of the inconsistencies and gaps between the text and images there is no explanation for the importance of Tessa's clockwork angel, and with out that there is a great hole in the readers understanding of some of the main events of the book. I'm unsure, however, if these issues would have been so glaring if I had not read the original. I clicked on the title of the ...

160; Young Adult Literature . Monday, May 5, 2014. Mind Games by Kiersten White. This book is written a little too elementarily with an easy plot.

Book Wind: The Hypernaturals by Dan Abnett & Andy Lanning
http://bookwind.blogspot.com/2014/05/normal-0-false-false-false-en-us-x-none.html
160; Young Adult Literature . Monday, May 5, 2014. The Hypernaturals by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning. SUPERHEROES (This should literally just hook you in since everyone loves a good hero book). In a classroom setting, this novel would do well in a discussion on characters, more importantly, distinguishing a dynamic character from a static character. Also, introducing the class to the tragic hero. As mention, language may be difficult for some younger readers, so I would limit this to 8. Cons: this is a gr...
