The Lovely War by Julie Berry
Review by Addison, age 13. Lovely War is a book about a group of four young adults who all get their stories intertwined. It's set during the World War and it is narrated by the gods. It's a very good read but can be a bit gruesome at times considering it is set during the war. This book was: amazing, a tearjerker, intense, powerful, unforgettable, inspiring and a page turner. 5/5 stars Read More »

Or jump forward and see all the possibilities in the future. Now, I’m not one for believing in coincidences but if the events from the... Read More »

Second Place- "Dust and Stars" by Noel
Almost there, just a few more feet. The faint light in the distance wavered with a rhythmic blinking. A dusty, dun moth flitted in an uncoordinated pattern towards the beacon of light.

Ripples of dust erupted when the moth smacked into the pristine, dewy leaf. The stuffed animal of a bug scuttled over with eager twitches of it’s antennae. But then grew Read More »
