The Gospel According to Larry by Janet Tashjian

17-year-old Josh is a genius and pretty much a loner; his only friend is his equally smart lifelong-secret-crush Beth. Josh is happy living this quiet existence, but he is not happy with the state of the world today. This causes him to create Larry, his online alter-ego who lets him reveal his anti-consumerism opinions without the world and his businessman stepfather knowing. But then Larry becomes an overnight sensation, and Josh comes to learn the pros and cons of public influence as he attempts to stay under the radar. "Larry" is a funny and surprisingly believable look at smart kids, relationships, consumerism and celebrity worship; however even with all of that the novel still left me wanting more, both in the depth of the story and the length of the book itself. But then perhaps that is a good thing... *** 1/2.

St. Francis Society for Wayward Pets

St. Francis Society for Wayward Pets by Annie England Noblin My rating: 5 of 5 stars I thought this was a precious gem of a book! While the animal focus comes into play later in the book than expected, I found the themes of complex family relationships and hidden family secrets to be even more enjoyable than the animal storyline I was expecting. The switch between modern-day events and flashbacks to the past kept me reading, as did the entertaining and light writing style. A must-read for animal lovers and those who love a good family drama! There's also a little romance if that's your thing! View all my reviews
