Sunshine is very
miserable. Her mother gets a new job
which moves them across the country & Sunshine must leave the only home and
friends she’s ever known. To make
matters worse, the town where they moved rarely sees the sun & the house
they move into is dark, damp and possibly haunted. As Sunshine discovers more creepy occurrences
in the house, she begins to wonder what REALLY happened to the old inhabitants
and more importantly who she is.
Content Notes:
If made into a book,
this book would be rated PG-13. There are
some creepy ghost occurrences and one of the characters in the story is possessed
at one point.
Teacher Notes:
I enjoyed this book &
feel it would be ok for mature 6th grade students to read. It was a really creepy ghost story that had a good fantasy twist to it!
As Caenum’s birthday
looms closer, he begins to be more concerned about what exactly his “Inking”
will bring. Set in a world where Citadel
tattoos determine your fate in live, Caenum is caught between staying to see
his fate & fleeing to take his chances in the outside world. When unexpected events occur the night before
his “inking” Caenum is thrust into a world that he is fated to lead.
Content Notes:
If made into a book,
this book would be rated PG-13. There
are various curse words throughout the story.
Teacher Notes:
I enjoyed the story
line. Aside from the infrequent cursing,
this would be middle school appropriate.
It did, however, have just enough bad language to keep me from
recommending it to my 6th grade students.
