It was distracting reading her switch from being manipulative, to genuinely sweet and caring, to terrified as hell, to confident - usually within the span of a page.ĭespite all those negatives, I’m glad I stuck with it. Tucker obviously has a lot of respect for them but (view spoiler). As for Olivia, I felt that she was all over the place in the second half of the book. With the first two, I wished I could’ve learned more about them. While Tucker felt very fleshed out, I found that I had a lot of question marks in my head for his mum, dad, and Olivia. My other gripe with the book was with the supporting characters. In fact, it took me four days to plough through the first half, as opposed to the one afternoon sitting I spent on the last half. The place was much too slow for my liking and it only started to pick up half-way through the book. Not cool.Īs I kept reading, there were many times where I wanted to give up. It sounds like the kind of place I’d want to go on vacation to, minus the military invasion. The first few chapters were great at setting the tone of the story and painting a picture of the idyllic island that is Pemberwick. I haven’t read any of MacHale’s books so I went in with no expectations. The premise also sounded interesting so I decided to give it a shot. Review: Faerieground Wish by Beth Bracken & Kay Fr.I picked up this book from one of the many shelves at my local library because the spine caught my eye and the cover looked sweet (don’t lie to me - you know you judge them too).Review: Sidney & Sydney: Third Grade Mix-Up by Mic.Review: Rump: The True Story of Rumplstiltskin by.
Review: The Little Prince by Joann Sfar.Have you read Sylo? How would you rate it? We would like to thank Random House for providing a copy of Sylo for this review. Review written by Mark (6th grade student). So please try this book out I hope that you like Sylo because I really did! This story is generally geared toward kids ages 10 and up who like action and adventure type books. And the thing about this is that he made the story go by faster but he kept it together using details and transitions to the max. Another aspect that the author did well was to make an action packed, fast-paced story. When the author is relating a plan that Tucker and his friends are making, he uses so much description that the reader feels like he is part of the story, alive and breathing in the piece of writing. One of those things being its descriptiveness it uses a dictionary's worth of descriptive vocabulary. Overall I think book is a masterpiece of art, which blends all the elements of a great story together seamlessly. So Tucker, Tori, and Quinn start searching for the truth. That is until a mysterious group of the U.S military shows up on the island and as people begin dying mysteriously, Tucker realizes that tomorrow may never come. He is on the back seat of his life always thinking that there is always tomorrow. Tucker has lead a normal life by most standards. So as I said before the story takes place on the small island of Pemberwick just a few miles off the coast of Maine. The main characters are Tucker Pierce, Quinn, and Tori Sleeper. MacHale, who has written a number of other good books, is the author. Sylo is the first book of what would make a fantastic new series. Review: It all started on a small island called Pemberwick off the coast of Maine.
