Weekly Roundup: Daughters of the Sea and Ring of Fire
Posted by panaura on October 15th, 2009
This week’s books — Daughters of the Sea by Kathyrn Lasky and Ring of Fire by P.D. Baccalario – are targeted at two very different YA audiences. Both of these books are the first in a series.
Daughters of the Sea is story about an orphan teenager in the late 19th century who learns that she is a mermaid. This book is great for girls who love mermaids and historical fiction. And even girls who are making that scary leap from kids novels to young adult novels will enjoy this book because it isn’t very long and has large font.
Ring of Fire targets both boys and girls who like to read about deadly adventures. It has a little bit of mystery and a little bit of science fiction. The story is about four kids who are led by the contents of a mysterious briefcase into search for an ancient artifact known as the ring of fire.
