mea culpa

A thousand apologies for my inadvertent misstatement regarding the number of books read by our top reader, Hilary, during our summer reading program.  A gross understatement.  Hilary in fact read and reviewed 9 books, not the paltry 6 I reported previously.   Here’s another of Hilary’s reviews.

Beka Cooper: Terrier by Tamora Pierce

This book was excellent.  It was everything that a fantasy book should be. There was magic, but not magic that was in your face, but subtle magic that felt like a natural part of life.  Every now and then there would be a scene with action not dealing with typical fantasies.  Also, the main character, Beka, is a person that you don’t get tired of reading about.  She has well-thought-out morals and goals, but you don’t get tired of how good she is. Beka’s ways and background are introduced throughout the book, and when struggles and triumphs appear, you follow how she feels.  The plot was fast-paced and there were turns that I didn’t expect.  It was interesting the whole way through.  I wished that the book never stopped, but the way it did was satisfying.  Review by Hilary
