Deception
AuthorGrace Cavendish
ISBN0385733216
I was very lucky to find this book at my school library. The front cover was so inviting, especially since it was small and hard, really like the "daybooke" Grace uses.

The Sphere of Secrets
AuthorCatherine Fisher
ISBN0060571608
I'm doing a quick review on this:

1. Basically, in the book, everything is going wrong, even though it's supposed to be right.
2. It was like the first one, I'd say, with just a few different problems:
- The drought has not ended. All of our important friends are distracted, and only Mirany...
Pagan's Crusade
AuthorCatherine Jinks
Was highly recommended for 9yob & that general age group. Very disappointing. (It's not about a pagan, that's merely the main character's name:) Anyway, Pagan is an extremely saucy, disrespectful, sarcastic young man with a dirty mouth. Counted 10 swear words in the first 8 pages. That's as far...
