The Starless Sea
by Erin Morgenstern

If you are looking for a story that follows a path this sure isn't it. I made myself finish it just to see if there was any explanation or resolution. I like fantasy and science fiction but have no idea what this was.

You know how a book cover just pulls you in sometimes? And you can’t look away because the art is just so stinking beautiful?!? No? Well, as an artist and book-lover I tend to obsess about covers sometimes. And this cover is no exception! Look at it!!!! (It looks like one of those paper cut-out artworks) Anyways, this book is s rewrite of The Little Mermaid. But instead of her story, the book is about her niece and restoring the peace between the ocean and land. Set in 1912 during the rise (and fall) of the Titanic, Mairin is the next queen of the sea. But her people are trapped below the water with no way to breach the surface… Unless Mairin breaks the curse left on her people after her aunt died. To do so she must trust the very sea witch that cursed the Little Mermaid, gain legs and win the heart of the grandson of the Prince. Then her people will be set free. Easy right? This book was amazing!!!!!!!! I mean I am completely obsessed and I need the rest of the series! There is romance in the book, adventure above and below the water, action, suspense and a little bit of magic. The book has a lot of the original story in it, which I really like. If you don’t know the original story of The Little Mermaid, then this book may confuse you. (However, this book is for girls 16 and up in my opinion. The original story is a bit dark and so is the Titanic.) Now there is violence in this book. The book is about the Titanic so people so die, drown and freeze. The Little Mermaid story talks about how for a merperson to walk on land they will feel like they are walking on broken glass and bleed. Not to much blood mentioned but it is there. Also the merpeople don’t wear clothes because their scales cover everything including their torsos, arms and neck. So nothing is inappropriate in the book, but the story is still a bit dark in places due to the death so 16 and up. Over all, I am completely obsessed with this series and I totally suggest it! I really loved the mention of God throughout the book and how the merpeople learn to forgive and love again. I just love it!!!

Cross Down

This is the most recent novel in the Alex Cross series. The series should be read in sequential order, as the characters are developed and recur throughout the series. Once you get to this one, you may be surprised to find that the focus is mainly on John Sampson.

This book is too sweet! It has family and friendship, music and science, and is just such a cute story!!!! (Though some parts are sad and make you want to hug someone!!!!!!!!!) This book is about 2 siblings trying to figure out how to cope after their famous quarterback dad disappears. The brother has found a distraction by playing the tuba, the perfect dramatic instrument; while his sister throws herself into a science project to she if she can cure memory loss through jelly-fish experiments. But when the siblings notice their teachers acting strange, they will have to team up to save the day, save their family and possibly save a bear. This book is adorable! It has a great message about friendship and family while stilling being funny and uplifting! It is a very clean read with lots of interesting parts and cute friends. I love the story line and I think this book is totally clean for kids 8 and up. However the book does have some sad parts. The siblings dad is gone and no one knows where he is. The kids aren’t really coping well. Also there are weird teachers in the book. Nothing inappropriate but they are strange. (SPOILER! Near the end of the book, the teachers are part of some pop star dance group and all dress up as cats in leotards with tails and ears… Weird but not gross or anything. Just strange.) Over all, this book is so sweet and a great story for kids! I really love this book and will be looking for more by this author.
