Once again Catriona Edington has given us her opinion of some titles......
The Name of the Star, by Maureen Johnson. This is a wonderfully amazing book that can chill you to the bone in some places and make you sigh with contentment in others. I love the creepy historical theme (Jack the Ripper in modern times). 8/10
Greyhound of a Girl by Roddy Doyle. The books itself is a lovely story of sadness, companionship and love in Ireland. I love this story because of its emotion. The front cover is boring, and I suggest a picture of a girl and a greyhound. 7/10
Velvet by Mary Hooper. This story is beautiful. I love it because it is so real life. It made me feel like I was there watching it, but the real thing about this book is that you understand the character's feelings, the happiness at getting a new job, the sadness of her mother dying and the terror she felt of the abandoning of her father who scared her,and when he fell in the moat she left him. 9/10
Blood Magic, by Tessa Gratton. This story is very dark and full of murder, but I love the magic twist into a depressed teenager's life and the anger that Nick feels to his stepmother for blocking his life up. A must have for teens. 8/10
