EndGame The Calling
Name: Catherine Age 12
13 February 2015;Genre: Adventure
What do we have here? We have adventure, action, mystery, sci-fi, a little more violence than I was necessarily comfortable with, a touch of romance (though don't read it for that). The chapters follow the various players and while it takes a little bit of time to familiarize yourself with their...

A Song For Ella Grey
Name: Daisy Age 15
30 January 2015;Genre: Friends and family
Because it is told from an interesting stand point; an onlooker, not a main character. The imagery is beautiful and very emotional and it summarizes youth incredibly realistically. Almond clearly understands what it's like to be a teenager.
