Blurb:

Finding magic or finding love? Can both exist for 16-year-old Mairead?

Orphaned, thrust into the throne, and now mysterious and mystical things are happening within her. Mairead is overwhelmed. When Prince Lysander requests a diplomatic visit, Mairead feels a pull to say yes, despite the warnings from her council.

As her draconic powers awaken, she turns to the prince who understands magic—and her life circumstances. Their lessons soon focus less on learning about this fascinating power and more about their growing attraction for each other.

Although those closest to her grow more suspicious of the prince’s intentions, Mairead can only see the hurt and pain Lysander has experienced and is drawn to the power he exhibits.

A heart is a fragile thing, and first love is never easy. Mairead must decide where her loyalties lie and uncover the prince’s true purpose before she loses far more than the crown her parents fought so hard to establish for her.

Divided is the sixth book in the coming-of-age epic fantasy series: Four Stars over Ardatz: Sovereigns. If you like action, multi-dimensional clean romance, and addictive stories, you’ll love Kandi J Wyatt’s book.

Student Saturday: The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han

 

Student Reviewer – Madison

Genre: Young Adult, Realistic Fiction

The book “The Summer I Turned Pretty” is about a girl named Betty and her mom and brother, Lauel and Steven. They go to cousins Beach every summer with their family friends, Jeremiah and Conrad. Belly has liked Conrad since she  was little but this summer was different for her with many plot twists. Belly has always been the girl that hasn’t really grown up yet, until this summer when “everything changed”. This book is really good for anybody above the age of twelve who likes to read about teenage life. Jenny Han wrote this book very well and I really recommend reading it.

Easy Target by Tim Shoemaker

Genre: Young Adult, Christian, Realistic Fiction

Source: I own a copy

There is nothing better in my opinion than a book with a great story line that also promotes Christianity.

Tim Shoemaker is a master at crafting such books.  The characters are always relatable.  As a teacher I have seen many homeschooled kids begin regular middle school. For many it is not much of a social jump as they attend church or other activities that have them fitting in socially. Then we have those who have been out of the loop socially and struggle with going to a regular school.

Hudson Sutton is one of the first types of kids. He was homeschooled, raised as a Christian and adjusted fairly well in the school. That is until the bullying starts. He tries to protect his new friends from the bullying going on.  He comes up with a wonderful plan only to realize that he himself has become a bully. Since he is so open about his faith he is like many teens who think they are doing the right thing, only to discover that what they are actually doing is not what God would have us do.  One thing that kept going through my mind was the scripture, “Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord, I will repay.”  I guess a part of me remembers a time that I was so fed up with something that I thought I could help handle it. I then discovered that I had become a part of the same bad decisions. I justified my actions “because I prayed about it.”  There is a difference between praying and actually listening to what God is trying to tell us.  

All of the characters are well developed.  The setting was nicely done. The messages are clear. It is great that Hudson wanted to help his friends with the bullying issue. How far is too far? What happens when the bullied become the bullies?  A great question to end on and a recommendation to read this book. It is so worth is.
