Life is Short Spoiler review by Rebecca Everything Everything by Nicola Yoon      Teenagers never make any mistakes and parents are morons.      I know this is a little harsh, but I am bitterly disappointed with this book. Everything Everything started out so wonderfully.  The first half of the book was really good, and I wondered if Maddie would get a happy ending or not.  Then the second half of the book starts and Maddie runs away with a boy she has only known for a few months.  Don’t get me wrong,  I love Olly, but this part in the plot did not sit well with me.  However, my interest was regained when Maddie gets sick away from home and actually feels bad about what she put her mother through.   At this point I was worried about what was going to happen.  Then we find out that her mother was lying about Maddie’s disease.  I hated this part because at this point I was reading yet another story about a teenager with a crazy parent who is proven wrong by their child.  This e

The Legend of Zelda A Link to the Past By Akira Himekawa          It is no secret that videogames are often adapted into different mediums. Unfortunately, the results of these adaptations are often mediocre at best, and at worst universally hated by everyone.  Surprisingly, this is not the case for A Link to The Past .  As an avid Legend of Zelda fan,I had no plans to read this manga because I thought it would be terrible, but I was in for a delightful treat.      The manga follows the game’s plot very closely; however, it does take some liberties to help the plot flow better in this medium.  All of the locations and characters are beautifully illustrated. I never had a moment while reading this story be ruined by terrible art.  The dialogue flows naturally which is especially good as this is an English translation from Japanese.  Overall, this is an excellent read that will captivate Zelda fans and high-fantasy lovers. Overall Rating: A- Content        Several

                       Summer vacation is just around the corner and this means more time for leisurely reading. Chances are you have been searching for books to read by the pool or in my case by the lake.  In no particular order here are my top five summer reads for teen girls. 1. Every Bride Needs A Groom : Janice Thompson This is a hilarious romantic comedy about a girl who wins her dream wedding dress the day her boyfriend breaks up with her.  The plot unfolds from this point with believable characters and a surprisingly good aesop as well. It is written from the 1st person narration and truly feels as if an actual character is narrating the story.  This book has no violence or frightening scenes. 13+      2. The Girls of Fire and Thorns : Rae Carson Shifting over to the high fantasy genre, The Girl of Fire and Thorns is an excellent high fantasy that stands on its own.  It has the best character arc I have ever seen in a fantasy novel. The characters are believa
