Boundless by Kenneth Oppel

Finished the book
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Although, I am not sure how historically accurate it is. The Boundless, on its maiden voyage, reminded me of The Titanic. I kept waiting for the iceberg, so to speak. I found the Maren and Will story-line entertaining. I am not sure how I fell about Will's decision at the end.

I LOVE historical fiction. I have high hopes for this book. The first chapter was exciting and action packed. Let's see if Oppel can keep me enthralled.

The Crossover by Kwame Alexander

Reading Level: 4.3
Lexile: 750

Finished the book

This is probably the third or fourth book in verse that I have read. I really enjoyed it. I think this book would be perfect for a middle school boy who loves basketball and is a reluctant reader. I highly recommend this book.

Greenglass House by Kate Milford

Finished the book


On page 235 this book started to get a lot better. I wish I would have known the true nature of the character Meddy. I might have enjoyed the book more. Because I did like the character of Meddy, I would more than likely read a sequel if Milford writes one.
