2 comments about Resurrection.
  1. This book was a reminder of the reason why we don't feel safe to take our eyes off our children for one second.

    I was three years old when this happened and lived in the neighboring city, Coquitlam. I can still remember how scared everyone was when we all started elementary school a couple of years later.

    The author has done a great job of keeping the reader hooked on the book throughout Abby's horrifying ordeal.

    Abby was indeed a brave and courageous child that overcame great obstacles while in confinement and after she was discovered.



  2. A chilling page-turner... to think of the strength that Abby had at that age, remarkable and unbeleivable!
    I grew up in that area, and was 4 at the time. This unthinkable act put a fear into the community for many years. It was a topic throughout my school years, reminding of the dangers that exist, even with people that you know and sometimes trust.
    Very well written... a must-read!
    Abby's strength, even today to face Hay in court, is really quite inspiring!! I can't even begin to fathom what Abby was put through...

5 comments about Locked Inside.
  1. In the book Locked Inside, the author is Nancy Werlin. Marnie Skyedottir is the main character. She's a very wealthy 16-year-old orphan, whose mother was a songwriter and passed away five years ago. Her mother left her with a guardian by the name of Max and put her in the hands of a boarding school in Massachusetts. When Marnie got kidnapped she had to use her wits plus everything she's learned from her mother and online. Marnie spent late nights online playing her favorite computer game called Paliopolis. Her online pal was Elf. After Marnie got kidnapped the person in real life who saved her was Elf, whose real name is Frank Delgado. In Locked Inside she never really got personal with explaining her mom, my thoughts to that are her mom didn't tell people her business and was a very personal woman, who kept to her self.

    Locked Inside is mostly made for young adults, but anyone who wants to read it can. This book's appeal is to capture the readers mind and lock them into the book. That works very well, because when I started reading Locked Inside, I couldn't put it down. Locked Inside could become a classic young adult mystery, because the book is so good.

    I would recommend Locked Inside for any reader who wants a good mystery. If your into suspense and like to try to figure out what happened at the end then this is a great book for you and it will keep you at the end of your seat throughout the whole book. If I had to rate this book I would give it 4 stars. It's just a great book that you can sit down and read rain or shine and still get the readers theme and be interested. Why I wouldn't rate it 5 stars is because the details could have been better and my interest was off sometimes because of some things that weren't explained well enough. Overall Locked Inside is a very good book and I would definitely recommend it.



  2. This was a fabulous book.I have read two Nancy Werlin books[Locked Inside and Black Mirror]and this is the best.Nancy Werlin,along with Lois Lowry,Joanna Campbell,Laren Brooke,and Laurie Halse Anderson,is one of my favorite authors.This book is sorta scary,and a little rough,so I don't reccomend it for young kids.But it is a fab book,and keeps you on the edge of your seat.


  3. Locked Inside is about a sixteen year old girl name Marnie. Her mother had died 5 years ago and her guardian is a man name Max. Marnie goes to this boarding school, she isn't studying as hard as she should be and ends up not doing well in school. She spends most of her time playing this game online with is guy identified as Elf. After her mother's death, Marnie hasn't really want anyone to get close to her, bascially like disconnecting herself from the world. She soons get kidnap by her teacher name Ms. Slaight where she also meets the guy name Elf in person. I don't want to disappoint anyone by telling the ending so read it to find out. This is an excellent book and I recommend people from ages 12 and up. I really like this book because the author is telling everyone a very important message. I can't wait to read The Killer's Cousin. I have read a lot reviews saying that it is an outstanding book even better than this one. Anyways this is a really REALLY superb book and I hope you read it, you won't be disappointed.


  4. I thought that Nancy Werlin's book was just okay. It is very hard to get into in the beginning but once you get started it gets a little bit more exciting. But the main charectar, Marnie is not someone who you can like or even fell like you get to know her. The plot is hard to follow and she introduces so many charectars in the beginning that you don't know who's who. TYhe one good thing about this book, though, is that you never know where the plot is going to go next. Basically, if you're looking for a gooed leisure book to read, don't pick this one. The only reason I read it all the way through was because I had to do it for a school project!


  5. Marnie doesn't let people get close to her. She probably inherited that from her mother, a famous singer who died when Marnie was eleven. Now that she is sixteen, Marnie is left with an incomplete sense of who her mother really was, especially before she became famous and changed her name. Marnie has no real family and can't seem to form a relationship with her legal guardian, Max, who she usually only sees as the one keeping her from her money, millions of dollars that will be hers when she turns twenty-one. She chooses to attend boarding school, where she has no friends and spends all of her free time, plus much time that should be spent on schoolwork, playing an online computer game. She is incredibly good at the game, number one in the rankings, and is intrigued by another player who goes by the name of Elf.

    Although she was prepared as a child to watch for potential kidnappers, Marnie thought she was too old to be a target. She is proven wrong when she wakes up in a locked room in someone's basement. Marnie is shocked to find out that her captor is her chemistry teacher. She is even more shocked to find that the woman doesn't want ransom; what she wants is recognition that she is Marnie's half-sister, another daughter of the famous singer. The woman is clearly deranged, but she plants a seed of doubt in Marnie's mind. She's never known much about her mother's life. Could she have had another daughter before Marnie was born?

    Elf's character was a bit far-fetched; it was too easy a romance for my taste. However, I liked Marnie's evolution throughout this book and the way she learned to trust others more. I also liked the parallels between Marnie's situation and the online game she played. It was refreshing to read about a computer game enhancing a teenager's thought process instead of rotting out her brains.

2 comments about Scarlett Angelina Wolverton-Manning.
  1. I recommend this book to many people as a wonderful twist on an old tale. The illustrations are delightfully spooky, and the violence is always off-scene. I am a great lover of animals and children who also are might be a tiny bit disturbed at the pets' disappearances. However, I especially appreciate it as a way to open up discussion about different cultural expectations and about parents knowing what's best for their children. The book is also great at giving clues; from Angelina's name to the family pictures on the walls, there are werewolf signals everywhere.


  2. This story did not fit the stereotypical theme for children's books. It's creativity kept us interested as readers throughout the entire story. While the illustrations were colorful and unique, they also helped paint a clear image of what the author was trying to depict. As future teachers, this book would be a wonderful asset to our classroom libraries. We would highly recommend this book to parents and to other teachers.

  1. As a parent of a sexually abused child, I found this book greatly informative. I wish every parent could read this book, so that what happened to my child would never have to happen again. I also appreciated the section on laws, and how we, as parents, can get involved. I've read a lot of books on this subject, and this one is by far the best.

  1. you will really like this book as well as you like others its is very scary ofcourse I'm young If you have read the the case of the missing millionairs its simalar to that


  2. dear readers I didn't think this would be good but it really is you see randy gets kiddnapped and there trying to figure out who did it the jungle carousel get broken and until all three get broken there is a suprise!


  3. I actually liked this story and it was interesting, but Nancy, Bess, and George had flat personalities in this book. The entire story was about finding Randy and only that. That made the characters lose their richness. The author (guess what, Carolyn Keene never existed) was only telling, not showing. I still enjoyed the book's details and it is an okay book.
