Star Two's weekly Reading Room section is featuring children's and young adult books on the last Friday of every month. I wrote the first batch of synopses for last month and here's the link.
I've also put in links (in the My Stories in the Star sidebar) for some recent reviews:
Q and A by Vikas Swarup
Maximum Ride by James Patterson
Time Bomb by Nigel Hinton
Three picture books featuring Tigers!
And here's a list of reviews ( from various websites) of new Young Adult novels that I think sound interesting:
1. Montmorency and the Assassins by Eleanor Updale.
2. The Beasts of Clawstone Castle by Julie Ann Peters.
3. Far From Xanadu by Julie Ann Peters
4. Caught in the Act by Peter Moore
5. Where I Want to Be by Adele Griffin
6. Quicksilver by Stephanie Spinner
7. A Thief in the House of Memory by Tim Wynne Jones.
Many of the reviews are from Teenreads.com, a site which I only recently discovered (duhhh!). I think it's a bit too enthusiastic about books like Gossip Girls and The Clique, but otherwise, it's a good place to read about new fiction and authors.
