Welcome!!!!

Welcome to Lit's Blog, where all things literary are fair game! As a middle school Language Arts teacher, one of the many things I'll be using this forum for is to share my opinions on books, both Young Adult, and otherwise, that I've recently read, and hope that you'll jump into the fray with your thoughts, as well! Please visit often, as I'll be adding regularly. Just scan the titles of each blog for the book's name, and let me know what you think!

(Parents: At the end of each blog, you'll find a "book rating", based upon the MPAA ratings (see link entitled "MPAA Ratings Guide"). Since I generally try to read whatever the kids seem to be reading, and encourage my students to read a wide menu of texts, do not be surprised if you see an "R" rating on a title, or two. I will do my best to be as accurate as possible - HOWEVER, this rating is intended only as a guide. Ultimately, it is your decision as to whether your child should read the titles listed, or not.)

Rebel Angels, by Libba Bray

In this second part of the Gemma Doyle trilogy, Bray picks up the pace where she left off, wasting no time getting back into the action. I think that's one of the things I like most about this trilogy - almost every other page contains an element of mystery, a twist, or action - and sometimes all three! In this book, Gemma must reenter the realms to undo what was done in the first book, A Great and Terrible Beauty (see my prior post) . PG-13
