review 1: With its opening of a teen’s death and Vera’s loss and betrayal mentioned, I had some initial qualms about how much angst I was getting myself into. Mercifully, my fears went unfounded and I encountered a well-made main character in Vera, someone with real life history and chall...

review 1: I don't read much YA of this type nor do I have teenagers. I was taken about by the amount of frank language and themes (sex, drugs, bullying), but I also know that is a reality for many teens and having books addressing real issues is good. Wrapped up in all of that is a girl de...

language
English

review 1: "Ask the Passengers" is a unique story that I have never encountered before. Not only does it tell the story of a teenage girl in a small town and all of the possible problems that can arise from that, but it also dives into the thoughts and life of a teenage girl questioning her...

review 1: Emer was a fierce, bloodthirsty teenaged pirate queen in the 1600's until she was cursed to live and remember the lives of 100 dogs. Finally, she is human again and she plots to reclaim the treasures she buried on Tortuga. The book has the annoying storytelling cadence used in ...
Glory O'Brien's History of the Future (2014)
language
English

review 1: A. S. King can write like no other YA author. This novel has a compulsively readable plot, an identifiable heroine, and a magic dead bat god, yet it also manages to be the most feminist YA book I have ever read. That's a good thing. I hope every 14-year-old girl reads this book. ...
Monica Never Shuts Up (2012)
language
English
3.94 of 5 Votes: 3
review 1: I don't know how A.S. King does it. She has creativity up the wazoo! Each short story is so unlike the last one. I don't typically enjoy stories involving negativity, but each character (even negative ones) are brought to life so vividly, I'm surprised they don't jump off the ...
