Sisters of Glass

Sisters of Glass is all combinations. The setting is a combination of a fifteenth century Venice island that sometimes seems more modern. The dying wish of the father of a girl from a glass blowing family is that she marry a nobleman, though she loves a man who works for her family. There is a combination of a historical novel about a family’s struggle and one about a girl disobeying tradition for a guy; also, though the whole book is in verse, it doesn’t read that way. These combinations mean you must have a distinct taste to read it, but you’ll love it!!

Forever Four

Forever Four is about four girls who have to create a magazine for a school competition. It was a good book, a little predictable, told from the perspective of your average heroine, a brain who goes unnoticed. If you like to get in there immediately, you’ll like this book, as the plot got interesting on page nine. The only bad thing in this book was a subplot of UFO sightings in the news that never added to the plot. Other than that, I suggest Forever Four to girls who liked the first Beacon Street Girls and other realistic fiction.
