What was your favorite part?

When the noises are heard in the girls’ cabin, the suspense built up unlike the rest of the story.

Who was your favorite character? Why?

The man trying to rape Rachel was in all honesty my favorite character because without him the plot would be extremely bland.

What was your favorite part?

My favorite part of the story was when Tristan’s true identity was revealed. It was very stunning and hid well from my perspective.

Who was your favorite character? Why?

My favorite character would have to be Maddedy because of his personality and back story. The way he was built up made him an interesting part in the story.  Also, his ailment added mystery and excitement into the mix.

Write a small summary (without giving away the ending)

A young and awkward girl named Evangeline whose sixteen years old has to deal with the hospitalization of her mother, who is her own family member.  She had only her inherited key and her friends.  It is then revealed to her who she really is, forcing her to fight an order known as the Archivists and a lethal sect of only females.

Additional feedback (optional)

It got boring and bland at times.  Mostly due to the feminine issues (her hair and body) she dealt with which didn’t interest me at all.

What was your favorite part?

My favorite part was when Tyler finally got the girl of his dreams. 

Who was your favorite character? Why?

Tyler Miler is my favorite character in this book. The reason is because well he's sort of an outcast, and his life got very interesting, and what he did as well. 

Write a small summary (without giving away the ending)

Tyler Miller finally got the girl, but things turn for the worst. He became big but there was a party and of course the crowd and peer pressure over whelmed Tyler's crush/girlfriend...she became drunk and things were posted about her and produced a huge scandal that Tyler got mixed up in.  Lastly he got separated once again and wanted to end things permanently with himself.

Additional feedback (optional)

Amazing book. Loved it.

Pandora's Key by Nancy Richardson Fischer

Name: Naorin H. Grade: 10

Title & Author: Pandora's Key by Nancy Richardson Fischer

Would you recommend this book to a friend: Yes

What was your favorite part?

My favorite part is when Evangeline and Raphe go to the old clock tower to look

for Samantha. Evangeline shows bravery she didn't know she had until that

point and they discover some clues to Evangeline's family history and who

Samantha is.

Who was your favorite character? Why?

My favorite character is Dr. Sullivan, because he helps Evangeline and Raphe out

without knowing much about them. He lost his pregnant wife and deals with a lot

in his private life as it is but he reaches out to the teens and cares for them

anyway.

Write a small summary (without giving away the ending)

Evangeline is a shy and awkward girl who doesn't think much of herself. On

her sixteenth birthday, her mother gives her a necklace with a key locket and

her life changes forever. Not only does her appearance change, but her mom, the

only family she has, is hospitalized. Things get worse when she discovers her

godmother trying to end her mother's life and Evangeline has to come to

terms with the truth about herself.
