Twins by Caroline B. Cooney

Author: Caroline B. Cooney
Reading level: Young Adult
Publisher: Scholastic Paperbacks

Rated 3/10


  Mary Lee and Madrigal are identical twins, exactly alike in every way. Until they are separated -- then Mary Lee wishes she could live her sister's life. And then she gets her wish . . . along with a horrifying discovery
MY REVIEW
I didn't really care too much for this book. It was too fast paced and some things were just too unbelievable. Also it was weird the the evil boyfriend of Madrigal liked to eat people's tears. Look I'm so evil cuz I eat tears HA LOL! Seventeen year old Mary Lee has always had her identical twin sister Madrigal in her life to make her complete and feel whole. Her parents decide one day that separate space would be a good thing for the girls so they send Mary Lee a couple thousand miles away to a boarding school where she never fits in. Then her sister comes for a visit and they switch clothes right before they go meet everyone by the slopes for skiing. They switch clothes cuz Madrigal tells Mary Lee it would be funny to trick everyone. But then there is a terrible accident and Madrigal dies. Because Mary Lee is in her clothes ever thinks it was her Mary Lee that died. Now everyone thinks she is Madrigal and that she was the one to actually die. When she returns home she meets Madrigals crazy evil boyfriends Jon Pear and learns a different side of her twin she never knew or thought possible. Now the whole school hates and is afraid of her. Like I said there are a lot of things in this book that are really hard to believe and the tear thing kinda cracked me up lol! Read it for yourself and get a good laugh if you're bored(that's the only time I would recomend this book)

Prisoner of Time-Caroline B. Cooney

Tod Lockwood has never wanted to be anyone's knight in shining armor. In fact, he wants to avoid having anything to do with girls, at least for the present. But that's before Devonny Stratton steps into his life out of the nineteenth century.




As for sixteen-year-old Devonny, she has no plans for marriage until her father arranges to wed to the contemptuous but well-connected Lord Winden. Devonny has only one hope. Someone must rescue her. Can Tod Lockwood be Time's answer to her prayers? Life never seems simple to Devonny, but do the solutions to her problems await her in the future? Or will she only become a prisoner of a different time?





MY REVIEW
It was OK! Made me happy I didn't live in the time period where women really didn't do anything or have a say in anything. We as women don't need men today to be happy or run our lives! I don't need somebody to save me like Devonny did in this book. Screw that mentality there.

Freeze Tag-Caroline B. Cooney

When Meghan and West first played Freeze Tag with Lannie, it was no ordinary game. Because when Lannie tagged someone, they really froze. Icy blue and cold. Like death.Now Meghan, West, and Lannie are in high school, and Meghan and West are in love. They're the perfect couple. But Lannie is determined to have West for her very own... and if she doesn't get her way, she'll freeze Meghan... to death.

MY REVIEW
It was an OK kinda book. I would have liked it a lil better if it had a better ending. I think she ended it too easy maybe cuz she couldn't have thought of a better way. I have no idea really. It was an interesting plot but she really didn't go anywhere with it that could have made it better. But I do wish I had the power to freeze people with just one touch. That would be super cool LOL! If you're bored and have nothing better to do than go ahead and read this. It wasn't the worst book I have ever read but I defiantly wouldn't put it anywhere near the top of my favorite books list
