I stumbled across this title when searching for books to read with my book club. They have always seemed to enjoy books about children overcoming great odds to get to a better place; stories that take place along those topics. For example,…

I liked many elements of this book - the narrator's voice & character, the set up, the surprise element that is revealed by the end and overall it was a satisfying read. Some elements I found to be too predictable or easily resolved (step…

This is a really captivating book, and it shows the values of sisterly love. It's gritty, and painful to read, but shows you this could always happen in real life. And it shows you to embrace someone new even though that someone has been…

What an incredible book. "If You Find Me" will remind the reader never to take the "basics" of life (food, clean water, electricity, safety) for granted. This is a beautifully written book.

I read this overnight. I was hooked from the first page. I appreciate the way drug addiction, mental illness and sex abuse/rape were handled. I thought the book was too short.

Every so often, there is a teen novel that stands out from the rest. This one grabbed ahold of me from the start and didn't let go until the end. Recommended for older, more mature teens, the story is about a girl who, at the age of 5, was…

I had heard a looooot of hype about this book, mostly good, solid 4 or 5 star ratings from friends and reviewers I generally trust with their opinion. Maybe me feeling just a little disappointed when the final page came about was because I…

I thought this was a great book and I am not a young adult. Keeping young adult in mind while reading this gave me even more appreciation for the writing. The story was superb! I didn't skim over a word. A page-turner for sure. I read…
