Briar Rose by Jane Yolen
Briar Rose is a really good book about this girl, Becca, whose grandmother would always tell her about Briar Rose, or Sleeping Beauty. Her grandmother always seemed to think she was Briar Rose. So when she dies,she makes Becca promise her she would inherit her "castle". So she goes on this long, confusing, adventure to find out about her grandmother's life. Of course, she ends up falling in love along the way. It's an awesome book, with a really good plot. I loved it. :)

Uglies - Book Review by Kristen M.
Uglies by Scott Westerfeld
Uglies is a funny book about a future world where everyone is "ugly" until they turn 16, when they have an operation to become "pretty".
Tally is a 15 year old Ugly, impatient for her operation. When she becomes friends with a girl named Shay, she is confused about why Shay doesn't want to be Pretty. Shay runs away to an only Ugly town and Tally is in trouble. In order to become Pretty, she becomes a spy and follows Shay. Eventually she changes her mind and decides to stay in the Ugly town, just as her "boss" comes to kidnap them all.
I loved this book because it's funny, adventerous, and romantic. it has a great lesson and is wonderfully written. I can't wait to read the second book, Pretties.

Poisened Honey - Book Review by Kristen M.
Poisened Honey by Beatrice Gormley
Poisened Honey is a great story about two of the bible's most famous people.
As a child, Mari Magdalene is like a lot of children, wanting to have fun and getting in trouble. When she gets married to an old man she starts using spells to survive! Because of this, she becomes strongly possessed. After using a spell to kill her husband, Mari's brother takes her to see Yeshua, who drives the spirits away.
This story also includes Matthew, the tax collector. When Matthew's brother James runs away, disapproving of his father's work, Matthew becomes unsure of his once strong admiration for his father. Soon though, a man comes and asks Matthew if he would like to work as a tax collector near Magdala. Matthew agrees, and in trying to be better at his work, he soon becomes worse than his father.
In the end, Matthew and Mari travel together to meet Yeshua and become his disciples.
I loves this book because it was funny, sad, and has romance. It was amazingly well written and had a great plot.
