I may have to wait for this one. There are so many others which sound so much more my style that I need to get to first. Maybe my nephew could read this and enjoy it.

It sounds like a really fun book, but I'm thinking I woudl agree with you if I tried to read it...some MG just doesn't translate well for older readers. Thanks for your thoughts though.<br /><br />-LaurenShooting Stars Maghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16074581473656321052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-23827451776024750252012-06-27T16:25:47.408-04:002012-06-27T16:25:47.408-04:00I've got this one for review and have heard go...I've got this one for review and have heard good things about it so hopefully I enjoy it rather than attempting to struggle through it.

I think he'll love this.

I did have a very hard time getting through this book and I also decided not to rate it for the same reasons. While I don't think this is a book that will be loved by adults, I have no doubt that younger readers will enjoy it. It was a fresh mix of well-known paranormal creatures and new and creative ones. Normally I like MG, but this one just wasn't in the cards for me. Oh, well :P Great review though!!<br /><br />All the best ♥<br />Mackenzie @ <a href="http://ohfortheloveofbooks.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Oh, For the Love of Books!</a>Mackenzie @ Oh, For the Love of Books!https://www.blogger.com/profile/07601479928922791077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-60599319400723986632012-06-27T07:23:29.940-04:002012-06-27T07:23:29.940-04:00Oh i loved this book!

And i really liked the art inside! It was beautifully done :)<br /><br />True though, the book is for younger readers mostly.Yiotahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03657532766872325324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-60025245435747490952012-06-27T02:12:02.081-04:002012-06-27T02:12:02.081-04:00Small-

I agree with you that it's a bit tedious for adults, but I recognize who it's written for and it's perfect for them. I did think the reference to Jason was kind of funny! And Nurse HairyMoles, you had to laugh at that! But yeah, I understand. Still it is great for those precocious readers that need long books but still something not above their level. I've run into many of those in the elementary school. It's always a challenge to find a book for them that's long enough that they don't finish overnight. Scary School is perfect for that kind of reader.<br /><br />HeatherBURIED IN BOOKShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18205451716054533728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-1099120630615061502012-06-27T01:14:30.459-04:002012-06-27T01:14:30.459-04:00Too bad.

Burns new book Bad Apple (The Merits of Mischief #1). "Burns" is a pseudonym for Tricia Rayburn. I met her at BEA and heard her talk about the book. It sounds like a really cute MG.
