Chris Scoggins chrisscoggins — UNEARTHLY BY CYNTHIA HAND Back Cover: In the beginning, there's a boy standing in the trees . . . . Clara Gardner has recently learned that she's part angel. Having angel blood run through her veins not only makes her smarter, stronger, and faster than humans (a word, she realizes, that no longer applies to her), but it means she has a purpose, something she was put on this earth to do. Figuring out what that is, though, isn't easy. Her visions of a raging forest fire and an alluring stranger lead her to a new school in a new town. When she meets Christian, who turns out to be the boy of her dreams (literally), everything seems to fall into place—and out of place at the same time. Because there's another guy, Tucker, who appeals to Clara's less angelic side. As Clara tries to find her way in a world she no longer understands, she encounters unseen dangers and choices she never thought she'd have to make—between honesty and deceit, love and duty, good and evil. When the fire from her vision finally ignites, will Clara be ready to face her destiny? Unearthly is a moving tale of love and fate, and the struggle between following the rules and following your heart. Summary: Clara has just had her first vision of a young man surrounded by flames in the heart of a forest. She knows nothing about him, she just knows she must save him. This mission is part of her purpose as an angel. That is why her mother, her brother and herself moved all the way from California to Wyoming. Between a delicate Integration in her new school, her meeting with Christian, the boy she must save, and her unstable powers to control, Clara has to train a lot and face the dangers inherent to her angel's status. A busy, orderly and mysterious lives that Tucker, the brother of her best friend, will put upside down. Could she succeed her mission and follow her destiny in these conditions? Impressions: After several stories read about angels, I was expected a plot with a lot of "Déjà Vue". I was happy to be wrong. I've enjoyed the writing of Cynthia Hand: simple and effective. She was able to intrigue me through the visions of Clara and takes me to the last pages with flying colors. Even if I said, "everything only for this crap" when Clara carrying out her mission, (I admit I was a little disappointed) no sooner had I uttered these words that the author captured me again by writting an end full of promise for the next opus. I had a great time reading those 260 pages and was attached to the characters. Although I saw Tucker's role in the story came from far away, I must have had a soft spot for him because my guessing has not take away my enjoyment. As for Clara, she is written in a way that shows both her strength and flaws. Great and strong female lead. « Unearthly » is also novel where I found the friendly atmosphere of the film "A River Runs Through It" with Brad Pitt in the fly fishing lesson. But also a bit of suspense, intrigue with the visions and the presence of evil fallen angels. I'll wait "Hallowed" late January and read it with great pleasure. Surprising novel.

Mia Paloch martinapalb19f — I really enjoyed this earlier work from Stephen White. He engages the reader, keeps the main set characters in each book, but not to the extent that you need to read them all the get the jist of the story. Good flow of details, kept you wanting to know what happened!

Miguel Mourão mmourao — This would get two and a half stars. I must admit surprise at it having been named a Newbery Honor book in its year, considering that Betsy Byars's "The House of Wings" was also in the same Newbery class and didn't receive a Medal, but Frog and Toad Together does have a lot of positive merit. Arnold Lobel's skills as illustrator are comfortingly familiar and well shown here, but in my mind what really gives this book its power is the last short story. There is a lot of wisdom and feeling in that final narrative. Frog and Toad Together is a fine work, one of the best picture stories available.

Trung Nguyen _rung_ — I'm kinda eh on mysteries in general. This one was okay.
