Karla's Reviews

Lock and Key, by Sarah Dessen
Ruby Cooper had been alone for weeks after her addict mom disappeared one day and didn't come home. When she is discovered by nosy landlords, she is sent to live with her older sister, Cora, whom she hasn't seen in ten years. Ruby struggles to adjust to her new life. Can she learn to trust again? And what about Nate, the boy next door who has secrets of his own? A good read for teen girls.




Airborn, by Kenneth Oppel
Great
adventure story with pirates, strange winged cats, airships and a shipwreck. The full cast audio performance with original musical score is very well done. Matt Cruse is a cabin boy who was born in the air and wants nothing more than to be a sailmaker on the Aurora, the ship he calls home. Kate De Vries is a rich aristocrat who wants to be taken seriously as a scientist. When they are shipwrecked after an attack by pirates, things get seriously interesting! A good listen and a good read!
