I personally loved this book. It wasn't too intense, there were no inappropriate scenes and there were just enough action scenes. I asked some people in my class about this book and they all said it was either OK or Amazing.

I started this book with the expectation of mediocracy, having never heard of the author and only knowing it was a young adult novel. I was pleasantly surprised to discover this book is more well-rounded than I anticipated. It's a unique…

Pretty awsome. Hope library gets the second one.

Ty is the kind of boy character who's recently gone out of style (in my opinion): he's loyal, hardworking, proud and completely unaware of his good looks. YA literature has (or at least I have) had enough of cocky, self-confident and suave…

great sci fi--under water colonies and pirates--with a little supernatural and a love story thrown in for good measure.

An unpredictable plot that spirals until you no longer can tell who's right and who's wrong
