​Reading historical fiction is a way of seeing different parts of our history. It allows us to look through the lens of those who may have been through events that have changed their lives. The Fountain of Silence is a story that takes place in Madrid in 1957, when the Spanish dictatorship was happening. The captivating tale of foreigners and locals who interact with each other, though one has a secret. It is such a great story and one that I enjoyed reading. it has shown me a new perspective on the world of those who were under a dictatorship.

Throughout this storyline, it was an intriguing story to read, and it shows a little bit of its culture to its readers. This book had a fun turn, and it left me with many confusing turns, but it was something that I enjoyed reading. It was something that made me think deeper into its meaning. For anyone who enjoys books with folktale, history, and adventure, with a bit of romance, it was written for you!

I loved the story and the characters in this book! It’s a sweet teenage romance and I loved reading it!

If you are into magic, romance, and plot twists this book is for you! I read it, it was amazing, it was one of the few books that I wanted to read all the time! I highly recommend!

I loved this fictional book full of action and wonder! If you are looking for a page turner then keep reading! Not to spoil too much, but there are mystic powers, strange creatures, and a wild plot that will keep you all night reading...I loved this book, I am reading it a 2nd time to reabsorb any missed detail, and to experience the ride of emotions all over again! The Snake River Library is my favorite source for any great book I want to read! I hope you can love this trilogy as much as I have! -10/10 review- -Brannon Fuller, SRHS student and librarian

​This book was one of the fastest books ever read. Every chapter had a plot twist in it and the end is the biggest one of them all. You will not want to put this book down!

I loved The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian. I think the author's voice is so compelling. It's one of those books that is written in first person and it feels like the character could be walking right beside you. The book is a fictionalized autobiography, and the author combines seriousness with humor to describe Arnold's life on the Spokane Indian Reservation, and his deviation from it. I especially admire the way that the author wrote about his experiences with grief.

A challenging topic but an important WWII story. The perspective of several different characters makes it more interesting. I really like the explanations of which parts are fiction and which parts are based on fact. I will read other books by this author in the future.

​I loved this book so much! There were a lot of riddles and puzzles that I enjoyed trying to figure out before the characters. The romance was soooo good!! Avery finds out that a billionaire that she doesn't know left her all of his fortune and everything he owned when he died. There's one condition though: she has to live in his mansion for a year to be able to inherit everything and his four grandsons are living there too. They all try to figure out why he left his fortune to her. You definitely need to read this book and the rest of the series!

I like this book because it gives off summer vibes. It's a total chic book and a super fun & easy read.

It's not summer without you is a very good book. The book is about 16 year old girl named Belly who goes to a beach house in Cousins Beach every summer. But this summer was different. Belly lost a really close family friend in the winter and everything went down hill. Belly not only lost a really close family friend but she also lost the beach house and the boy she loved.

Book "Crave" Author Tracy Wolf - This book came together in the end very nicely. It draws you in from the very start of the book. It was an emotional roller-coaster, filled with adventure, thrilling moments, a good romance, and so much more!!!!!! Favorite book highly recommend!!!

This book was better then the first book! It is very humorous and keeps you on your toes. I definitely laughed a couple times, but I also cried along with it. This is a very emotional book and was extremely fun to read! I had to go out and buy this book because of how good it was!

This book will grab & hold your attention the entire book. Filled with drama & unexpected plot twists, you never know what will come next. Told from a petty con artist's point of view, the reader follows the fake "Daniel Tate" as he navigates, romance, friendship and the dark secrets lying in each family.

I first read this book in seventh grade as part of an ELA project. It was the first time I'd read historical fiction, and I've loved the genre ever since. However, I have never found a book equal to this. I will always remember the way it felt when I first read it. It was dark, but there was light shining through. It felt deeply important. I will always love the characters, especially Rudy, Hans, and Rosa. Each time I've re-read this book, it has only grown more special to me.

Filled with action, science fiction, romance & more. The Game will constantly keep you invested as you experience what life would be like if children learned by entering a virtual reality simulation instead of school. It's a very interesting read that will make you think

This was a super interesting book to read. The author really put you inside the character's head. There was good character development and the book was written extremely well. If you like to read murder mystery this is a good book to read.
