Snap Book Review by Lily Bang

If you’re a reader that likes the supernatural, then Snap is the book for you.  It is a great tale about a girl named Madison who gets her life turned upside down in the most mysterious way.

Madison has what she claims to be the best life she could get; she has a spot in the newspaper, photography, a big house, and her best friend Lexie. She then gets dropped off at a new town called Sandy Land.  The town is not a vacation spot, it’s pretty run down.  Madison thought that she could make the best of thing by taking photos, her one passion.  Well, when her camera goes in for a fix, the strangest things start happening.  The photos start coming out with figures in them that were not there when she took them.  Are they spirits or not?  

The reason I really liked the book is because once I got to a very interesting part in the book I couldn’t put it down.  I also did not notice that there were many slow parts of the book, if any.   The only thing I did not like about the book was that it was a bit of a slow read for me.  Overall, I’d rate this book a nine out of ten, because it is not at all what you think it is.

Old Mythology with a Modern Twist by Jack Haris →

One of the most successful and well known authors, Rick Riordan, is now coming out with a new series.  Following his usual fashion of making mythology of different cultures well known, Rick Riordan is making a new series on Norse mythology.  The Magnus Chase series will be hitting shelves on October 6th, 2015 with their first book called The Sword of Summer.  

Magnus has always been a homeless, troubled kid on the streets of Boston.  But when on his sixteenth birthday he talks to a strange and dangerous man he learned the truth.  His father was a Norse god.  Now Magnus has to journey through the Nine Worlds to find a special weapon that has been lost for thousands of years. With trolls, giants, and worst monsters on his tail.  But when Boston is attacked by fire giants Magnus must make a big decision, save himself, or thousands of innocent lives. What would you choose?

This 640 page book will sure be a page turner.  But make sure you get your copy at most stores, or be the first to recommend it in our school or Schlow library.
