:::::::::::::::::::::::Book Review::::::::::::


Aaron has this book as a required reading for 8th grade, so I grabbed a copy from Amazon and sat down to read it. It was a quick read and I enjoyed being pulled into the grey world of Ember. The characters were likeable and their predicament interesting. The puzzle they need to solve was a bit fun. I Think the pre-teen/teen market is perfect for this book. It isn't a classic, necessarily, but it is a worthwile read.

Take care! :)

What a fabulous page you've created there and I absolutely adore the alpha. Love the graph type paper and the tennis ball circle on the layout. Your pages totally rock Victoria! how lucky your children are to be able to look back on themselves in years to come like this.
