My 13 year old son loved this book (and the first)

My 13 year old son loved this book (and the first). My 42 year old friend recommended it. Good for the young and older. haha.

I want more now to read!!!

I love Jennifer Nielsen books, I can literally picture what's she writing.

Great Second Installment in the Horizon Series

Jennifer Nielsen picks up the Horizon book series pen from Scott Westerfeld and makes a seamless transition with Deadzone, the second and newest book in what is planned to be a seven-book series, each book written by a different author.

Ms. Nielsen continues this story of a group of young plane crash survivors (a robotics team on their way to an overseas competition) who land in the arctic, but find themselves in the middle of a jungle like none on Earth. I recommend reading Mr. Westerfeldâs book first; youâll want to know the story from the start, plus both books are so good you shouldnât miss any of the action. I read them back-to-back and, truly, it seemed as if I were reading one book. I admire the ability of an author who can take a story and characters developed by another and make them her/his own. The educator in me would love to sit in on the mechanics of how all this happens.

There is so much for readers to like in this series. There are science fiction and supernatural elements. Thereâs action, mystery, and suspense. Thereâs friendship and conflict. The ability of these books to engage a variety of readers makes them excellent additions to any classroom or library. One of my favorite things about this series is its appeal to students with engineering minds. What a great recommendation for students in our robotics club!

Iâm a big fan of books by Jennifer Nielsen and Deadzone is no exception. She keeps us reading with fast-paced action, captivating characters, vivid descriptions, and just the right amount of suspense. Readers will enjoy this next installment in the series, which will have them eagerly awaiting the next book.

Thanks to Edelweiss for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

From Tween Reviewer

This book is about a couple of kids whose plane crashes on a secret island near Antarctica. My favorite parts of this book were when they have to try to cross the Blood Sand, a perilous desert with little to no water, and for a good reason. My favorite character in this book is Yoshi, a Japanese-American character that has an awesome sword and lots of independence. There are also others, like Molly, the leader; Oliver, the Math Whiz; Kira and Akiko, two Japanese sisters; and Javi, a friendly guy who tries to always be positive, especially in the worst situations.

Publisher's Summary:

To Joseph Friedman, middle school might as well be the Running of the Bulls. He's friendless and puny, with ADD to boot, so he spends most of his time avoiding class bully Charlie Kastner and hiding out in the Resource Room, a safe place for misfit kids like him.

But then, on the first day of seventh grade, two important things happen. First, his Resource Room teacher, Mrs. T, encourages (i.e., practically forces) him to join the school track team, and second, he meets Heather, a tough, athletic new girl who isn't going to be pushed around by Charlie Kastner - or anybody else. At first track is as much of a disaster as everything else in Joseph's life. But slowly Joseph hits his stride, and instead of running from the bulls...he's just running.

What A Great Book

This book made me laugh out loud and tear-up as the author perfectly captures how it feels when you are lonely, picked-on, or just different. The main plot focuses on how a boy with ADD and the new, tall girl in school help each other overcome. The dialogue sounds like real middle schoolers and the inner monologue sounds like a bright, self-aware boy with a sense of humor about what he thinks is his place in the world. A subplot about his grandfather touchingly shows that feelings of loneliness do not stop in middle school. I read this to my 10 year old, and we both loved it.

A heartfelt journey of self belief and acceptance

Side Tracked tells the story of a boy who finds his own sense of self worth through his experience as a cross country runner. On the way, he makes friends, learns to face his own fears and recognizes that what makes him different also makes him special. In truth, most of us are "different" in some way or other. But we don't necessarily find a way to be okay with that until late in life. Any young person reading this book may well be inspired to positively reflect on their own unique gifts with a more positive view of who they are and what they have to offer. And that makes this book pretty special.

Wonderful book! Beautifully and sensitively written with a great ...

Wonderful book! Beautifully and sensitively written with a great sense of humor. Delightful story of a young man who is trying to figure out his way in life : and discovers that running is something he can do. Lovely story of teen aged friendships and the power of finding your own way in a complicated world. I love this book. Highly recommended!

Highly recommended book!

What a great read - entertaining, easy-to-read, the story will make you laugh and cry... Loved every minute of it!

Highly recommended!

My twin 7th graders read and loved this book. They found the main character highly relatable and said it was one of their favorite books.

Magical miseducation and global adventure await in this fast-paced, humorous, and imaginative fantasy.

But danger lurks around every corner in a world of magic, curses, and fantastical beasts. And the greatest threat of all may come from within the Wandmakers' own ranks.

Members Reviews:

A very good book for older kids to teens

My 10 year old boy loves this book as well as the first installment. I find the book well written; I appreciate that the author also inserts plenty of historic overviews in the process.

Great review from my almost 10 year old reading obsessed son!

My almost 10 year old son just read wandmaker's apprentiice in 2 days, and loved it so much he went back to the first book in the series, Wandmaker, and read that in two days too. He wants a third but there ins't one (YET!). He says "It's a great book because there's always alot of things happening in it and there's alot of magic in it but it isn't just big and powerful, it's also small and subtle. The characters have really good traits and the scenes and how the people speak can be funny and exciting and sometimes suspicious or sad. I really like Coralis, an important character in the book because he is really sort of funny but very serious at the same time and knows alot of things. And he can be nice but also a little harsh. He's a very complicated character which I like!

Five Stars

Love this book!

Publisher's Summary:

Hatchet in North Korea: A sister and brother go on the run with explosive forbidden photographs in this gripping and timely survival adventure.

North Korea is known as the most repressive country on Earth, with a dictatorial leader, a starving population, and harsh punishment for rebellion.

Perfect place for a family vacation, right?

Yet that's exactly where Mia Andrews finds herself, on a tour with her aid-worker father and fractious older brother, Simon. Mia was adopted from South Korea as a baby, and the trip raises tough questions about who she really is. Then her dad is arrested for spying, just as forbidden photographs of North Korean slave-labor camps fall into Mia's hands. The only way to save Dad: get the pictures into China, over a hundred miles away. Thus Mia and Simon set off on a harrowing journey without food, money, or shelter, in a land where anyone who sees them might turn them in, and getting caught could mean prison - or worse.

Rooted in years of research and written with deep sympathy for the North Korean people, In the Shadow of the Sun is an unforgettable story of strength and survival.

High adventure in North Korea

At a time when North Korea has emerged as the most dangerous nation in the world, this exciting novel by Anne Sibley O'Brien is more than timely. The action takes place in North Korea when Mia Andrews and her brother Simon are on a guided tour with their father who is on a food-aid mission.

During their visit, someone has surreptitiously slipped a camera containing horrific photos of starving people, dead babies, tortured prisoners into Mia's belongings. She feels a responsibility to get these forbidden photographs out to the free world. When their father is arrested for spying, Mia and Simon decide to make a run for it. The novel is the story of the incredible hardships they face as they make their way through the North Korean countryside. But the lack of food, water and shelter is not their only challenge. Mia is the adopted Korean daughter of this American family and Simon is her older brother with whom she has a strained relationship. The theme of this troubled relationship plays out while the two depend on each other in making their break for freedom.

What is remarkable about this exciting novel is that it is a realistic presentation of the political and cultural conditions that shape the lives of the people of North Korea. You feel that you are reading about a contemporary event, stripped from the pages of today's newspaper.

The writer, Anne Sibley O'Brien, is the daughter of medical missionaries who were serving in South Korea. She grew up in Korea, is fluent in Korean, and has written and illustrated 35 children's books.

I highly recommend this novel for adults and young adults alike. Both my wife and my daughter couldn't put it down.

On the Run in an Unstable Country

Mia Andrews and her brother, Simon, were not planning on vacating to North Korea. Who would? The country is run by dictators who brainwash their people into fearful loyalty. Mia and Simonâs father has used his humanitarian aid connections to help North Koreaâs starving citizens. Now he is taking his kids there for an unexpected trip. Mia is both fascinated and fearful of the country. Even though Mia was born in South Korea, she may have distant family ties to the North Koreans.

Title: The Unexpected Life of Oliver Cromwell Pitts

Subtitle: Being an Absolutely Accurate Autobiographical Account of My Follies, Fortune, and Fate

Narrator: James Langton

Language: English

Release date: 05-16-17

Publisher: Recorded Books

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 6 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

High adventure from a master storyteller about one boy's attempt to fend for himself among cruel orphan masters, corrupt magistrates, and conniving thieves.

In the seaside town of Melcombe Regis, England, 1724, Oliver Cromwell Pitts wakes to find his father missing and his house flooded by a recent storm. He's alone in his ruined home, with no money and no food. Oliver's father has left behind a barely legible waterlogged note: he's gone to London, where Oliver's sister, Charity, is in trouble.

Exploring damage to the town in the storm's aftermath, Oliver discovers a shipwreck on the beach. Removing anything from a wrecked ship is a hanging offense, but Oliver finds money that could save him, and he can't resist the temptation to take it. When his crime is discovered, Oliver flees, following the trail of his father and sister. The journey is full of thieves, adventurers, and treachery - and London might be the most dangerous place of all.

In the tradition of his Newbery Honor book The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle, Avi mixes high adventure and short chapters with a vivid historical setting featuring a cast of highwaymen, pickpockets, and villainous criminal masterminds.

A half million Londoners and it's his sister

Entertaining and well told, but he just happens upon his sister in a city of a half million people, is a bit far fetched. Even more surprising is the sudden unresolved ending where we learn that this is book one!

Members Reviews:

TERRIBLE narration

Would you try another book from L.M. Montgomery and/or Tara Ward?

I loved Rachel McAdams narration in Anne of Green Gables and am very sorry she didn't narrate the second and third books as well. Tara Ward does a really bad job, particularly when she tries to affect a different voice for each character. All the girls sound like the're 60 years old even thought they're supposed to be 17. And even though this is Prince Edward Island, she makes Gilbert sound like some hick from Alabama. And he also sounds 70 years old and nothing like a college student. Davey is also ridiculous. The narration really ruins an otherwise good book.

As if Marilla was the narrator and voicing Anne

Wonderful reader except when reading for young women. It was difficult to get past. next time I read this series, I hope that these are all redone by a new person or group of people. Or just record the parts of Anne and her girl friends with an appripriate reader. I love Anne so much that I will read or listen every few years regardless of the genre.

Anne of the Island

I love this story. this is one of my all time favorites. No profanity or lurid sex scenes. I love that it is clean and wholesome with good morals throughout. I can't think of anything bad in it.

I don't want to be to hard on the reader. She did a good job and she used voice change for the characters. It just seemed her voice would be Better used for old people. Marilla was perfect for her, but she was not at her best portraying young girls, especially Anne. But. I would listen again. I love this story!

"Iremonger torques and tempers our memories of Dickensian London into a singularly jaunty and creepy tale of agreeable misfits." (Gregory Maguire, author of Wicked)

Great read, I heartily recommend the Iremonger Series.

Well written, as delightful to read as the first of the Trilogym - Heap House, and now the agony begins. Waiting a year for the final book.
