I thought I would spend a moment to tell you about a book that rocks. Before I start, I should say I do have a slight bias toward the author. After all, we've been friends for over twenty years, and she is probably one of the most amazing and strong people I know.
With that in mind, I want to throw my two cents into the reviewing world.
Unearthly by Cynthia Hand is a great book. Hands down, one of the best I've read in a long time. It has romance. It has laughs. It has fun. It has drama. (Not too much. I would run away if there were too much.) It has Clara, who is a great example of the ups and downs teenagers go through. It has Tucker. I will leave that there with a very happy sigh.
The best part about Unearthly is that it is appropriate for younger teens. I know that there are a lot of books out there marketed to young adults, but I can say from experience that I wouldn't put them out on the shelf for my sophomore and freshman students. Without hesitation, I would share, and have shared, Unearthly with all of my students.
Okay, enough said. Other than, READ IT! Seriously.
