Maximum Ride - School's Out Forever

School's Out-Forever
Fourteen-year-old Maximum Ride, better known as Max, knows what it's like to soar above the world. She and all the members of the "Flock"-Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gasman and Angel-are just like ordinary kids-only they have wings and can fly. It may seem like a dream come true to some, but their lives can morph into a living nightmare at any time-like when Angel, the youngest member of the "Flock," is kidnapped and taken back to the "School" where she and the others were genetically engineered by sinister scientists. Her friends brave a journey to blazing hot Death Valley, CA, to save Angel, but soon enough, they find themselves in yet another nightmare-this one involving fighting off the half-human, half-wolf "Erasers" in New York City. Whether in the depths Central Park or in the bowels of the Manhattan subway system, Max and her adopted family take the ride of their lives. Along the way Max discovers from her old friend and father-figure Jeb-now her betrayer and greatest enemy-that her purpose is save the world-but can she?

Lulu Dark and the Summer of The Fox

I was incredibly relieved that school was out and that vacation had arrived. I had big plans-and by big, I mean unspeakably small. My plans did not involve slinking through dark alleys, stalking out apartment buildings, or any other aspect of crime-solving. They involved watching daytime television, talking on my cell phone, and lying on the fire escape in my bikini.Frolicking in the rain would do in a pinch. My days of girl detection were over. Or so I hoped.....

This is the summary on the back of the book . It looks O.K. ......

Inkspell

Meggie cannot forget Inkheart, the book that had caused so much trouble for her and her father, Mo, a year earlier. Yet it had given her back her mother, Resa, and brought Farid into her reality. Farid now stays with Dustfinger, yet is as drawn to Meggie as she is to him.

The Inkheart world attracts Meggie. Dustfinger finds a way to return to the ink world and his home, back to his Roxanne. He is able to renew his friendships with the Motley Folk and the Black Prince. Fire dances once again for him as it only can in the Inkheart world. Farid, though, is left behind in Meggie's world. He cannot bear to be parted from Dustfinger. So Farid convinces Meggie to read him in to join Dustfinger. Meggie uses the chance to read herself into that world as well. Now she gets her chance to see the fairies, the fire elves, and the Black Prince's pet bear.

Meggie is old enough to know her parents, especially her father, will be upset with her and miss her. She only plans a short visit. She is certain that Inkheart's author, Fenoglio, will be able to writer her back home. What Meggie doesn't know is that Mortola and Basta find her parents in her world. They have themselves read back into their own ink world, taking Mo and Resa with them. Mo's life is in mortal danger because of Mortola's hate of him.

Fenoglio is distressed and angry because his Inkheart world has twisted in ways he had not intended when writing it. The Laughing Prince has become the Prince of Sighs now that his son has died in a battle against the Fire Eaters. The Motley Folk are not welcome anywhere except during festivals. Even then, they are deemed dangerous. The ink world has grown darker and more dangerous than Fenoglio had intended. Now that he has Meggie and her talent, he hopes to "write" its wrongs.

Inkspell is a sequel to Inkheart (in case you didn't guess). Inkspell is a worthy sequel, going into the ink world that spawned Dustfinger, Capricorn, and the other characters in Inkheart. Inkspell doesn't try to imitate the first book, but instead takes the story in a new, interesting direction. Inkheart was a stand alone book that left the ideas to use in Inkspell.

Inkspell is fascinating and well done. Dustfinger is more prominent, a worthy protagonist. At 13, Meggie is a conflicted girl - still young at times, but growing up quickly. Farid is there to encourage her emotional growth. Resa, only a minor character in the first novel, now becomes important to the story. And the ink world - it is as promised in Inkheart and more.

Tally Youngblood is part of a section of Special Circumstances, the spying and police force for the City. Her group is called the Cutters. They cut themselves to awaken their senses. The Cutters' sole purpose is to destroy the New Smoke, a group of people who don't want to live in the City or abide by the City's rules. None of them want to take part in the operation that brainwashes them and transforms them into flawless looking people, known as Pretties. The New Smoke is passing out pills that will take away the lesions in the Pretties' brains so that they can think for themselves again.

Their plan is to discover the New Smoke's location and turn them in to Special Circumstances.
