Kate, Michael and Emma are three of the most interesting book characters I have ever read about, and I have read about lots of characters! This is one of the reasons I couldn't put this book down. Another reason is that their adventures are so interesting and don't seem to repeat anything I have read before. Also, the different settings (especially the different times) give a unique and interesting twist to the plot line. The only thing I dislike about this book is that the other two books in the trilogy weren't released at the time this one was, meaning I REALLY want know what happens!!!!! I think anyone could fall in love with The Emerald Atlas, so you need to go read it right now!!!!!!!!!! I think the uniqueness of this story makes it a Newbery contender, I am not sure if it will seem like the level of literature that the committee will like. What do you think?
Thanks for the recommendation, Laura! I've been eying this one, but haven't picked it up yet. Thanks to you, I'm now looking forward to reading it.
ReplyDeleteWe'll have to give this one a look. For read alouds, I am in a tough position because it has to something my 8yo can handle (he had a hard time dealing with A Single Shard at the end), yet be interesting enough for my 11yo and 13yo. I'll probably read it either way!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a good book. I may look it up on my NOOK.
ReplyDeletei havent read this book yet, but considering the kind of books its related to, it seems like its a very good book. any readers of percy jackson, benedict society, and secret series, this looks like an awsome book!
