[Rebirth] by[Debbie Brown] began with a quick pace that made it difficult for me to put down. The characters were authentic and you fell right in with their plight. The statement that was made about the youth being our hope could not have rung more true.

I would have liked to see more development and I am hoping she continues this story line. It had the potential to be wide read YA fiction given the current climate of the genre.

I have to try and find a paper version of this so I may add it to my classroom library.

Okay so first of all I'm a nut for good quotations & I feel the need to say this book is FULL of them!! This is going to sound mean but I was pleasantly surprised with what a great author Chris Colfer is. He did a wonderful job putting a new spin on many of the classic fairy tales we all grew up with, without changing them completely. Alex & Conner are fascinating may layered characters. I can't wait to get this book into the hands of a few of the kids in my classroom, they are going to love it!
  
The first book in this series was a Sunshine State Young Readers book this year so I used it as a read aloud in my fourth grade classroom. They loved the first one so much I bought the second & third books. We finished this on the last day of school. They thought it was better than the first book & BEGGED me to start the third one. Lol! Then they were lining up to borrow the third one of the summer. They were all mad when o told the, I'd taken it home so I could read it.

I’ll readily admit that I did not finish reading this book, and that is saying a lot coming from someone who will usually finish a book, even if I don’t really enjoy it.

I got about a hundred pages into this before I was so fed up with the characters that I just could not continue. These teenagers were so whiny and over dramatic that the6 made me appreciate the real-life preteens that I teach.

You’ll find far less melodrama in an actual classroom than in these pages. I imagine only actual high school students could stomach reading these caricatures of themselves.
