review 1: Wendy Mass has created another masterpiece! Amanda and Leo get involved with Angelina again. This time their helping her by going back in time to save their friends little sister ,Grace. On Grace's tenth birthday she goes into a frozen-like sleep. They start at her ninth birthday and go back to her first. They have to face many things to save Grace. One of the things is to make sure nothing goes wrong at the birthday parties. They figure out that if they save Grace something she was meant to have that she won't get.
review 2: The Last Present is the sequel to 13 Gifts. The two books are closely connected. 13 Gifts had a cliffhanger ending--for better or worse. Much of 13 Gifts was spent hinting that Leo and Amanda had a BIG TASK AHEAD which required them to sac... morerifice talking to one another for an entire year. (Only texting and writing was allowed.) Tara, the heroine of 13 Gifts, came to town in the last weeks of their sacrifice. At first, Leo and Amanda, guess that it's all about Tara, and then that it's all about David. Two friends celebrating birthdays the same weekend in July. But at David's party, the truth becomes obvious. Grace, the younger sister of Connor, one of David's friends, falls into a coma after babbling nonsense. Amanda and Leo have no doubt that Angelina will be needing them to save the day somehow, someway. Such is the case.The two will be traveling back in time. They will travel to each of Grace's birthday parties. They will fix what went wrong with Angelina's "blessing of protection." What they notice from the start is that Connor and another relative seem to be acting against them each and every time. They have no idea if Connor is ruining his sister's parties on purpose or if it's completely accidental. Their mission is clear. How that mission is actually accomplished remains a bit of a puzzle. Readers are just told at each twist and turn that it's the work of Angelina, and that she alone knows what is going on, and since Angelina wouldn't ever dream of sharing that knowledge with anyone no matter what, everything the kids do is on faith.I liked this one. I didn't not like it anyway. But for a book that supposedly answers all the questions and solves the mystery that is Angelina, this one left me unsatisfied. Out of all the novels, this one is definitely the clearest that this is FANTASY and that magic is going on all around. But the little details seem messy from my perspective. less

(Thankfully) The last of the series of Willow Falls. I appreciate how Mass was trying to wrap the whole series up and answer some of her reader's burning questions. Unfortunately quite a bit of the book seriously tested by ability to suspend belief. Pair that with an unusually large assortment of sappy moments and this book did not quite meet expectations. I'm glad to have read it and completed the series and glad there will not be more. Hoping that Mass bends her storytelling talents into something new and exciting!For grades 4-6

I started reading this series when I was in 4th grade. I read the third book in over the summer of 2013 and I was in love with the series. So when a few weeks ago a friend told me the the next book was out (this one) I was excited and couldn't wait to read it. I know that the series is for younger kids, but I started reading it when I was younger, and you can't just start a good series without finishing it. :) Even though it probably isn't for 14 year kids, I am not ashamed to say that this is definitely one of my favorite series :D
