But Sam's story is far from over.

Through the love of Willow, a teenager intent on standing up for her "freak" best friend at all costs, Ryan is able to finally come out to family and friends. His transformation from ashamed to proud with Willow's help gives new meaning to Sam's story and how things could have been. Because love comes in all shades too.

Wonderful YA book for children dealing with gender identity issues

First I read Her Name Was Sam by Erin Lee and now Freak by Erin Lee. I loved Her Name Was Sam, so I really looked forward to this sequel. It's a sequel of sorts, but if you didn't read Sam, you'll be caught up by the beginning of this book.

Readers find out what becomes of Sam in the soul of Willow. Willow more than fulfilled my fantasies of what Sam could have/should have been. This is a wonderful YA book for children dealing with gender identity issues in middle and high school and for the adults and siblings who love them.

Don't be afraid of the issues, face them head on and talk about them. This is a book that will inspire much discussion. The author even provides open ended discussion questions to get readers to really think about how they would act if given the same experience. I wonder if I'd be a Willow or Willow's Mom or a Ryan or Ryan's parents? I'd like to think I'd do the right thing, think of what's inside a person more than what's outside and make the world a better place through understanding and acceptance.

God does not make junk; thus we know that Sam, Ryan, Willow, Morgan, and all the characters of this well fleshed out, provocative story are not junk. Bravo for this read that must be shared. Some of my favorite books are YA books because it is between these pages that we can really feel and hear the urgency, insecurity, and intensity of the youthful years we can no longer live.

A must read for all ages

Wow Erin's writing is always hughly descriptive and engaging, and this book is no exception. The story of Sam and her family is haunting, beautiful, heartbreaking and confronting. It deals with the issues of gender identity and sexual orientation. The book is written from many POVs which gives you a greater understanding of all the emotions and feelings of the characters while drawing you into their world and teaching you some lessons along the way. In the second half of the book the story changes and you get to see and live through different perspectives on the same subject. I dont want to give any of the story away as I think you need to go into this story blind so to speak. So you learn and live story through the characters without any preconceived notuins of whats going to happen etc. This is a great highly emotionally charged story dealing with issues millions of ppl deal with on a daily basis. You may need tissues!!! Erin has written such a beautifully haunting story tgat will touch your heart and make you think. This is a must read for every human being!

Great series for struggling readers.

My 9th Grade READ180 students love this entire series. It is similar to the Bluford High series, but at lower Lexiles and the books can be read in any order. I have all 12 in the series to-date and hope there are more on their way.

not bad

This book should be required reading for all athletic boys and girls who care about them, the life lesson is crucial.

Publisher's Summary:

Spencer loves movies, but real life is boring, right? When his late grandfather's will reveals the tasks he wants his grandsons to undertake, Spencer thinks he got screwed. He's not going to France or Spain or Africa. He's not even getting a cool tattoo, like his younger brother. No, he's going to Buffalo to get a kiss from an ancient movie star. Gross. And he's supposed to film it. Grosser. But Spencer hasn't bargained on Gloria Lorraine, star of the silver screen back in the day. Gloria has big plans - plans that involve her granddaughter AmberLea, a gun, a baker who might be a gangster, some real gangsters, and a road trip to Nowheresville, Ontario. After being shot at, jumping into an icy lake and confronting some angry bikers, Spencer finally realizes that real life can be as exciting (and dangerous) as reel life.

Awesome book

I have read ink me before this book.I finished the novel in one day(I had allot of reading time today)wish there was more to read.great book.

Mafia & Movie Stars

This is the fifth book I've read in this series and, while I'm highly pleased with series as a whole, at this time I can fairly say this has been my favourite title to date and may be the best in the whole series. I do still have Shane Peacock's entry to read, though, so I'll reserve final judgement till then. Hooked from the beginning, this is a classic tale of boy's adventure. The main character is 17yo film director wannabe Spencer and his quest from the Grandfather involves filming his task. Filmmaking, movies, the "pictures" is a major theme here and the book reads as if it is a movie. Pure action from start to finish, with admittedly over-the-top events accumulating on top of one another. One has to suspend belief for this tale, but it is obvious the author has written the plot like this on purpose as real life is compared and contrasted to movies frequently. Involving hidden secrets from the past, drug deals, bikers, mafia and a race against time, I found this story to be both exciting and good fun. The events of this and Ink Me are tied to one another, in that what is happening in one affects the plot of the other, but this is conveyed to the brothers through texts and it won't matter which one you read first. Though having already read Ink Me, I completely understood what was happening with that aspect of this plot. It's wonderful to read a book where you love all the characters and here I certainly did, right down to the dog, Mistah Bones. And GL, the grandma? Let me say, everybody is going to want to go out and get themselves a 90yo grandma after meeting her. Staunton is a new author for me. I've only just read his latest book "Who I'm Not" and look forward to his further ventures in Young Adult action/suspense.

Teen filmmakers and others will enjoy

Orca's The Seven Series gives us seven authors each writing the story of one of David McLean's grandsons. During the reading of David's will, four of his daughters and six of his grandsons learn that David left letters instructing each grandson to complete a task. At the same time, they learn there was another daughter and another grandson. A family tree showing David's descendents and the book covers in which each is the protagonist, and a map showing where each grandson will travel, are good additions in the front of the book.

Members Reviews:

A great short story that you'll read in one sitting.

A well-written western with some truly memorable characters. I loved the old cattlemen and how they treated their new cowhand.

Conversations flowed easily and I felt like I was sitting around the campfire with them, ever so often.

I love to learn new things and was exposed to more information from this era. As a fan of Larry McMurtry's writing, I must say I enjoyed this enough to look for more work from author Martin.

I'm thrilled to see more stories out on Amazon about the Old West. Keep em comin'.

Martin is by far my favorite author. I have read his books for the ...

L. J. Martin has done it again. Taken me to the west in a story that is so well written and developed, L.J. Martin is by far my favorite author. I have read his books for the last two decades.

I don't want to ruin the story for anyone. But trust me,even if I gave you a play by play, you would still enjoy every second of The Way of the West.

Way of the West is a page turner. I read it strait through. Great book, I enjoyed it a great deal and you will too!

Entertaining short story that brings life in the Old West alive!

Entertaining short story that puts you in the middle of a cattle run with a cast of interesting characters. Poor Wilbur, newest and youngest member of the crew charged with moving the cattle, gets his share of hazing! He also learns a thing or two--and so did I reading this story filled with colorful language, details about life of a cowhand, and bits of wisdom part of this author's take on the way of the West. Enjoyable! Five Stars

Five Stars

Good Plot, very descriptive and excellent character profile

A Trail Drive Makes the Man in this short Novel.

He was the bossâs son and a bit spoiled, but that didnât stop the ribbing. It was in good fun and it didnât take long for anger to turn to camaraderie, but nothing is cheap and the place with the seasoned men on a cattle trail drive is earned.

A story that stops too quickly and a fun read. Well worth the time.

A must read

The first few chapters suck you in, as everyone can remember a bully from their own grade school years. Chrissi is a relatable character, in that she is hiding a big secret about herself. Most of us have a trait we would change, and Chrissj struggles to master her curse. As these unlikely teens embark on a journey of self discovery and faith building, they learn to work as a team.

Five Stars

This is a great YA book. A fun, clean adventure with a bit of mystery intertwined.

Five Stars

Great book, impatiently awaiting book two.

GREAT BOOK!

I truly enjoyed reading this book. The story is amazing and the characters have depth. The layers in this story are incredible. It starts out contemporary and then fantasy elements trickle in and I loved how the author did that. And toward the end you can see so many themes in this book that will carry over into the rest of the series I'm sure. I really, really like where the writing is going. The Christian elements are a blessing and are seamlessly a part of the story and not shoved in unnaturally.

I really like Chrissi and her mom. Their relationship is real and loving, which is awesome to see in YA. The supporting characters are also very realistic. We get see their growth and questions as if we are right there with them! I can't wait to read the next book and see how everything advances in both realms!

Plus, I absolutely loved the reference to the TV show Roswell. It is still my favorite tv series to this date! So bonus points!!! Lol

This story is beautifully written. And the contemporary

With a single touchâeverything decays. Her gloves are the only thing that separates life from death. Chrissi Camden is her name.

Curse? Or gift?

Only King Roi (RAW-EE) knows.

The only way to find him, to find her answer, Chrissi must embark on a spiritual journey. However, she is not alone on her path to truth and discovery. Three of her peers accompany her along the way. One of them being her archenemy. Will this sect of chosen teens find their way to the king, the one who holds the answers to all their questions? Most importantly, will they survive the journey to him?

This story is beautifully written. And the contemporary, classic tone makes it all the more captivating. The Reconciling is a must read for those who are seeking an adventurous, mysterious, and fantastical read. Not to mention the elements of hope and faith weaved throughout the pages. April Lynn Newell is a gifted writer

I canât wait for book two in The Overcome Trilogy!

Title: The Club

Author: Stephanie Watson

Narrator: Intuitive

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 16 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-27-17

Publisher: Lerner Publishing Group

Genres: Teens, Ages 11-13

Publisher's Summary:

The club started innocently enough. Bored after school, Josh and his friends decided to try out an old game Sabina had found in her basement. Called Black Magic, it promised the players good fortune at the expense of those who have wronged them. Yeah, right.

But when the club members' luck starts skyrocketing - and horror befalls their enemies - the game stops being a joke. How can they end the power they've unleashed? Answers lie in an old diary - but ending the game may be deadlier than any curse.

Members Reviews:

The not so fun, freaky club game "Black Magic" and the evil it brings to the students of Bridgewater High will curl your hair!

Josh was having nightmares that were totally freaking him out. They started out great as he imagined himself as the star of the Bridgewater High football team at the championship game. One kick and they'd win, but as soon as he pulled his foot back to kick the ball . . . well, let's just say it was totally freaky. Heck, he probably wouldn't even make the team and as the new kid in town from New York he was getting more than his share of bullying from linebacker Ned Onager. When he thought about it, he asked himself, "How come someone so mean and stupid was the one who had so much talent on the football field?" Geez, at least Sabina Lawson asked him to join her friends at lunch.

Sabina wore black clothes, pink hair, and was "one of the smartest girls in school" and Josh really appreciated the invite. It turned out that everyone at the table had someone that irked them half to death, including Sabina. Dan and Jackson didn't have Ned tossing their lunch trays in their laps, but Mark's drunken stepfather didn't sound very appealing either. Sabina invited them all over to her house to check out an ancient game she'd found at her house called "Black Magic." Sabina's ancient old house at the end of Sparrow Drive was holding a deep dark secret that would soon make their problems seem petty . . . very petty.

There weren't any instructions to the game, but the gang would figure it out. Spell cards. Crystal. No sweat. Someone who had played the game long ago had written down a few instructions: "Choose one of those special spells. Think of someone who has wronged you. You will reverse the force of evil and send good spirits your way." Josh became unsettled when he saw a girl crying inside the crystal, but he quickly put that vision aside when some seriously good stuff started to happen to all of them within a few days.

They'd all been chillin' with the game and flying high with all the good things happening. Josh for one was thrilled that he'd made the team, but none of them really noticed what was written in the corner of the board, or if they did they were ignoring it. "Beware all who play. Death awaits." Sabina had put her hex on Lindsey, her chem lab partner who never did her share of the work. Lazy Lindsey had been sent to the hospital with a little case of the hives, but when they got there her mother was outside her room screaming, "It's tearing holes through her.

Here's a book you won't forget!

Al Cassidy knows just how to capture a person's imagination! I, too, could not wait to get into Linhurst and unlock the secrets of the past. Finding out electrified me! To have all this excitement in the mix of a well balanced, close family and a group of typical teenagers heightened the contrast between good and evil, compassion and cruelty, justice and injustice. If you are looking for a fascinating book, here it is!

Very entertaing...

I really enjoyed this book! I could not wait to find out the ending! Having a grandmother who worked as a nurse at the real Pennhurst School, I could relate to parts of the story. Thanks Al for writting such an entertaining book and for bringing the issue of mental illness to young ones. I hope you are working on more books!

No Regrets

Great book! Fun story! Kids and adults would both like this!

It was great. The characters were well developed and believable

I finished the book. It was great. The characters were well developed and believable. The story line held my interest and had me anxious to see how it ended. I loved that you included so many local interest items i.e. the power plant, ex. Pennhurst (Linhurst) residents in town,... Your book was easy to read and had a delightful story line.

I really enjoyed Freeing Linhurst

I really enjoyed Freeing Linhurst. Love the illustrations! Jack's doggedness to find the truth held my interest to the end. In addition to being easy to read fiction, the real-life story about how we care(d) for those in our society with mental illness is educational, especially for our youth. Well done, Al!
