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.)

Kissed by An Angel/The Power of Love/Soulmates by Elizabeth Chandler


A trilogy all in one book, this is the story of Ivy and Tristan, two high school students who meet and fall in love (and I mean REAL love). The deeply-caring-about-each-other's-welfare-want the-best-for-each-other-no-matter-what-love. Ivy is new to the school, and immediately garners attention because her mom is marrying the town's rich guy, which means she is going to be the step-sister to the high school's resident hunk (and mean guy), who seems to have an eye for her. Ivy catches the eye of nice guy Tristan, and it's love at first site. Sadly, tragedy steps in, and their relationship is cut short - or is it? And is the tragedy really a tragedy, or is there something more sinister going on?

Rating: PG13
