“The Jenny Haniver was surfing on the edge of night as it swept Westward across the Great Hunting Ground.” ~Philip Reeve, Night Flights
Review: Night Flights
Review: Squire
“When people say a knight's job is all glory, I laugh and laugh and laugh. Often I can stop laughing before they edge away and talk about soothing drinks.”
Review: Pretties
“Being pretty-minded is simply the natural state for most people. They want to be vapid and lazy and vain . . . and selfish. It only takes a twist to lock in that part of their personalities.”
Review: Uglies
“Perhaps the logical conclusion of everyone looking the same is everyone thinking the same.” -Scott Westerfeld
Team Review: Children of Blood and Bone
“Courage does not always roar. Valor does not always shine,” by Tomi Adeyemi
Review: People Like Us
“Tell me. Tell me how I did it. Because from where I’m standing, it looks like you’re the one going to prison.”
Review: Nimona
This story isn't as simple as a classic “overthrow the king” plot. The book is more about Nimona and Blackheart’s friendship than anything else, and the characters are constantly questioning the morality of their actions.
Team Review: Turtles All The Way Down
“Anybody can look at you. It's quite rare to find someone who sees the same world you see.” John Green
Black Light Express
Like its predecessor, Black Light Express is a high-speed adventure. Its scenes are short, intense, and to-the-point. There wasn’t a boring moment, and Reeve does an excellent job, as always, of bringing the struggles of several characters together to create a tightly plotted story.
Challenger Deep Review
“The fear of not living is a deep, abiding dread of watching your own potential decompose into irredeemable disappointment when 'should be' gets crushed by what is. Sometimes I think it would be easier to die than to face that, because 'what could have been' is much more highly regarded than 'what should have been.' Dead kids are put on pedestals, but mentally ill kids get hidden under the rug.” ― Neal Shusterman
