Let me know what you think after you've read it. To me, it's lighter than The Giver (a book I loved as well).<br /><br />Jenn: Thank you!! And thank you, also, for fitting us in this month. I know you have a ton going on.<br /><br />Thao: Happy 21st Meeting back at you!<br /><br />Ellen: I'm sure I'll read the entire series. And thanks for the head's up re the name spelling. I'll change it. I should've noticed myself.

So thanks for the heads' up on that. I'm intrigued and am interested in checking it out - knowing that it's at least a 2-book deal. ;)<br /><br />Oh, and happy 21st!Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07820350511791595345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7461076427066534397.post-14913128292522749622010-09-01T14:42:36.886-07:002010-09-01T14:42:36.886-07:00This book is in my classroom library, but I haven&...This book is in my classroom library, but I haven't had a chance to enjoy it yet.

Haven't made it past that, but expect to. I love the normalcy of the kids, and the sense that Ember IS normal--to them. And you get such a sense of wonder from the discovery that there's another world up there.<br /><br />By the way, I gave you the wrong spelling for Stieg Larsson's last name. It's "o-n" not "e-n." Sorry--I wrote you in too much of a rush.<br /><br />Thanks for organizing us again this month!Ellen Booraemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12751047743172852013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7461076427066534397.post-38159201391395144542010-09-01T06:16:43.253-07:002010-09-01T06:16:43.253-07:00That sounds so cool.

The books between my childhood and my daughter's tween years fall in that gap. Great review and happy 21!Sarah Laurencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00423008641739156182noreply@blogger.com
