Ok, we’re gonna try something new here: a regular feature of reviews by kids & teens. Because we’ve got a crew of them and they’re working hard, it seems only fair that their reviews get the wide audience attention of the tumblr-verse.

So here goes:

I love the book Digit: She’s Got your Number, by Annabel Monaghan. Digit (the main character) is my favorite character. She’s awesome. She is a teenager and she has the code to help the police crack a criminal case. Who wouldn’t want to be her? This book is awesome on soo many levels. I can’t even explain it. It’s suspenseful and makes you never want to put it down. This is a book I think the young to the old will like.

aaaaand they’re back! Part two of our summer middle-grade reading series is

SPARROW ROAD by Sheila O’Connor

When 12-year-old Raine and her mother arrive at Sparrow Road, it’s
dark outside. Viktor, the owner of the creepy old mansion, was making
it all even gloomier. At their far off cottage where Raine and her mother
sleep, it is silent. Not like it’s unusual – everyone is silent at Sparrow
Road. It’s just the role, for all Raine knows. But what she doesn’t know
is that the summer will bring art, imagination, music and a big surprise.
This is a wonderful – and emotional! – book.
