Ashvini''s Rating: 5/5
Emma's Rating: 3.5/5

Ashvini:
I’m still so speechless by the ending of this book! In I.D, Vicki Grant gives readers a taste of a very different lifestyle that isn’t typically touched on in books. The tone and just the way the main character talks and thinks really feels authentic to that very southern environment.
Although this book is so short it still manages to get a hold of you and fall in rhythm with Chris (the main character)’s thinking, and just when you think something’s really going to work out it’s completely the opposite. Though, now looking back I kind of feel like Chris gxxxx tx xxxl (blocked out due to spoilers) was meant to be because he was so caught up in his own needs, that he never stopped to look at the bigger picture.
I kind of wish that there were a few more clues leading up to the conclusion, just to tie it off with a bow. (I feel like that just made everything so much more intense - Emma)
 Other than that though, I think this book was very well written with a unique setting. I guess the big question, once you’ve finished the novella is: is what Chris did okay? Comment down below with your thoughts!


Emma:
Wow! That was literally my first thought when I finished this book. When Ashvini first came up to me with this book for me to read I had judged it by how small and thin it was.
 But as I read on I begun to realize that Vicki actually found a way to make those 101 pages interesting with the biggest twist at the end as well. I found myself  feeling happy, sad and embarrassed for Chris throughout the book.
This book was absolutely great. I especially  loved how the book kept me engaged from the very beginning. When I neared the end of the book I remember thinking how the book was going to end with only about X pages left (blocked out due to spoilers). Then the explosion happened. It wasn't a literal explosion but what happened was so, so, so shocking.  I wasn't expecting it. I related it to an explosion because when the book ended it was just you and your thoughts. Okay and maybe my questions to.
I really enjoyed this book. Vicki Grant is a great author and I cannot wait to read another one of her wonderful books. Thoughts anyone?


Can you guess what our next review will be on? HINTS: It's one in a brand-new seven book middle grade series. Can you keep SECRETS?

More reviews coming to a computer near you soon!

Yours Truly,
Ashvini and Emma

The Dogs - Allan Stratton.

OMG guys! We've missed you! We've literally been drowning in homework these past few months and just had to give the reviewing and blogging a break. We are sincerely sorry for our sudden absence. However, it's summer now, so you can expect tons of new posts in the next little while... :) Photo Source Link: Emma: I had a great time reading The Dogs. First, I have to say that I loved the cover and how it showed the books scary qualities. I just love the look of that blood splattered title. I think that it drew me to the book more than the summary which did not captivate my attention nearly as much as I think it could have. If you are not a fan of scary books this book might not be your forté, but if you do enjoy scary books you are in for a treat. The book was also sprinkled with a little mystery throughout that really made you theorize all of the possible directions that the story could go in. I loved how Cameron (the main character) had to piece together w...

Interview With Jennifer A. Nielsen!

Photo Source Link Over the course of the past few months, TwoGirlsThatRead has been working on a really special surprise.  When we started this blog nine months ago, we'd hoped that one day we'd be able to do cool stuff like this. However, we'd never in our wildest dreams (T Swizzle reference) thought we'd be able to do something like this so soon and with someone so kind and talented. This has been an amazing opportunity that we'd seriously like to thank Ms. Nielsen for. About a month ago, Jennifer A. Nielsen released her new book " A Night Divided."  It's a historical fiction based around the Berlin Wall. Us, being the fangirls we are, were curious. about how Jennifer A. Nielsen wrote her books, and why she wrote her books, and just her writing books in general. So, after pulling a few strings we got the opportunity of doing an interview with her and POOF! Here we are now! For those of you that don't know, Ms. Nielsen is a New ...

Small Bones - Vicki Grant.

Photo Source Link Emma's Review: 4.5/5 Ashvini's Review: 5/5 Emma:  When Vicki Grant came to our school I was thrilled to be asked to introduce her (with Ashvini) and intrigued to read her latest book "Small Bones". I had already read the book  ID and really enjoyed it.  The book is about an orphan named Dot. In the book the orphanage burns down. The seven oldest girls are not able to be put into orphanage homes. They have to go out on their own. Each of the seven are given one item from their past. They each use that one item to try and find their parents.  Dot I find is the opposite of me she is small, prone to daydreams, good at sewing (lets not even talk about my sewing abilities) and umm let me see she lives in another era !  I had a really fun time reading this book. There were a few big twists at the end which I found made the book more interesting. I really recommended this book to you if you are 12+ I think that you wil...
