Steve's story as a senior could probably be a little more substantial. All in all, I think that the pros of this book outweigh the cons and I recommend it for any teenager to read. When Jenny's stepfather takes the farm over Jenny leaves West Eighty-third Street in New York City for the English countryside inhabited by boggarts, pookas, oakmen, and ghosts who have been unsettled for centuries. Great writing which blends history and fantasy makes for a compelling story. Recommended for ages 12 up to adult.
Every school has a perfect girl.
And you can't even hate her because, of course, she's so nice. At Forest Hills High, Lara Ardeche is that girl. And tonight is the best night of her life. But at that moment, when I was crowned homecoming queen and my parents were so proud of me and Jett loved me, lived up to every fantasy I had ever had. I felt surrounded by so much love, just waves of it coming up to me on that stage.
