REVIEW OF THE WEEK:
<span class="ev_code_GREEN">Graceling by Kristina Cashore!</span>


(4 1/2 GLOMPS out of 5!)

Age Appropriateness: 13 +

Genre: Fantasy/Adventure

Summary: In a world where people born with an extreme skill - called a Grace - are feared and exploited, Katsa carries the burden of a skill even SHE despises - the Grace of killing. She lives under the commands of her uncle Randa, King of the Middluns, and is expected to execute his dirty work, punishing and torturing anyone who displeases him.
When she is sent off to a rescue mission, she meets Prince Po, who is graced with Combat Skills. Katsa had no hint of how her life is about to change.
She never expects to become Po's friend.
And she never expects to learn a new truth about her own grace -or about a terrible secret that lies far away...a secret that could destroy all seven kingdoms with words alone.

REVIEW: I just finished this book this morning And, it was EPIC!!!!!!!!!!! It has everything a best selling book should have - "unforgettable characters, a mesmerizing world, a death defying adventure, and a heart racing romance that will consume you, hold you captive, and leave you wanting more!" I finished this book in 3 days, it was so hard to put down! With each amazing chapter I absolutely had to know what happened next!! Graceling is a must-read!
I recommend this book to readers who love lots of action, adventure, fantasy, and who don't mind a little romance
HOWEVER, I DO NOT recommend this book for anyone under 12.

~~~Advice Column~~~!!!

The Best Advice of the week!

Be YOURSELF!! Don't act like you're someone else.

If you have time, watch the movie Camp Rock! A girl named Mitchie pretended to be someone else but she learned a lesson in the end. Listen to the song "This is me". It's a song that Mitchie sings to express that she is herself.

There will be more soon, so keep your eyes OPEN!
