GreenBeanTeenQueen Says: Drizzle is on our state book list and one of our Chat & Chew book club picks. The kids reviews were mixed on this one and sadly, it was my least favorite of all the books we read for Chat & Chew. The kids that liked it said it had action, but for me the plot was slow and dragged too much. The book could have been edited down and I lost interest in the story. I liked the magical farm that Polly lived on, but the magic wasn't enough to hold my interest. I felt like the plot went around in circles too much and never got going. The ending was also a bit
I loved both these series as a teen. But then I read a book by her named Raven's Point that was really different and weird and I hated it. But I'd still try a new book by her.
ReplyDeleteI started reading the first book from the fingerprint series but my library in high school only had the first! How many books are there? :)
ReplyDeletePirate Penguin-There are seven books total to the Fingerprints series.
ReplyDeleteRebecca-I never read Raven's Point-it looked to weird.
OMG yeah, it was really weird and gross. I went and looked and realized I still have it on my bookcase downstairs, I should really get rid of it. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteYep. Still own these ones too. And I loved the shiny covers. For months after I read these, I went around leaving my own fingerprints on desks and stuff at school.
ReplyDeleteAs far as I know, no one ever read my fingerprints though. :(
I read the first but than couldn't find the others so I hope they are getting re published it would be very good. Thanks for posting or I wouldn't know to look out for it.
