IT IS THE MOST AMAZING BOOK. What i do have to say though is DON'T GIVE UP ON IT! The first parts of the book is very slow. I got to a hundred pages and then stopped for a while. Then yesterday i just wanted to read a Valentine's day book- something about love, so I picked it up. Read thirty pages, then this morning i wake up and read for hours until I finished! It is soo good! You just have to get over the slow hurdle in the beginning and you'll totally fall in love with it.

Haha, I'll remember that! Because, I fell in love with the cover, because that's how i usually get stuck on books, it's how I picked up Warriors, lol because the cover looked cool =] And I didn't have money with me because I had bought a coffee =] But I'll go back and buy it and read it from cover to back =]

The covers of all of her books are my absolute favorites ever, I agree. They totally are my type and I am naturally drawn to them. If I were randomly to get a book published ever somehow, I would want a cover like one of hers. Don't get too attached though, because the reading level in this book might be ever so slightly low for most of us, especially you, being older than me, it will be considerably lower than what you're used to, but don't let that get you down. It rocks!

Goldheart · ThunderClan Warrior

Haha, trust me I read ALL types of books. No matter the writing or the words used =] Reading is my FAVORITE thing to do EVER. =] And I like a book where I don't have to look up definitions to words =] Lol Have you ever read Dr. Franklins Island? I read it when I was in like, sixth grade. It's an oldie but super SUPER amazing! If you like the Sci Fi stuff :D

Scorchheart · ShadowClan Warrior

Yeah that was a pretty good book! Have you guys read a book called Griffin's castle? It just is awsome!

Moonstar · RiverClan Leader

No I have never read that book! :D Not much of a sci fi fan but it does sound cool(:

Scorchheart · ShadowClan Warrior

Well, it's not scifi, but it's still an awsome book. It's about this girl named Dina who moves in this messed up house with her mother, Rossely. They look nothing alike. The renter of the house,Gomer Gwane, wants Dina out of the picture so he can live alone with Roslley. However, Dina finds this Broken Griffin sculpture, and fixes it, triggering an ancient magic. The animal statues of a near by zoo come to life and are helping her drive out Gomer, when she finds out a horrible secret. They are trapping her in the house!

O.O..............that was a really long explanation....ehehe....oops....

This book is utterly amazing! As the same author as 'The Truth About Forever' [Reviewed by Moonstar] Sarah Dessen did an AMAZING job writing this story. It's perfect and just so amazing. Never got boring, not one bit. I could NOT put this novel down, and I ate it all up so quickly. Though it does have some inappropriate words and parts, I recommend this story to all kids 10+. It's beautifully written. I promise, this WON'T get boring.

Title: Lock and Key

Author: Sarah Dessen

Description:

Spoiler: Almost 18-year old Ruby was abandoned my her mother. She lived alone in her old, yellow house that her and her drunk mother lived in before, since they had no money to afford a better house than this. Ruby thought that she could live alone and get away with it, but of course, she got caught. And instead of being sent to an orphanage, she was sent to her older sister's huge mansion, to live with her sister, Cora, her brother-in-law, Jamie, and their dog, Roscoe.

Starting a new school for the millionth time, Ruby decides to stick to herself. Although the super cute boy who lives next door to her picks her up every day, Ruby doesn't want to be his friend. And when she constantly tries to escape the house or visit her old home, she gets caught.

But when her best friend makes out with her boyfriend one day, Ruby is sure that her life is going to end. Mad and sad, she tries out for a new job at a jewelry store. That the owner, Harriet, wasn't even sure she was going to hire her.
But when Christmas comes around, Harriet decides to make a new type of jewelry, a key necklace, just like the one Ruby has. Only Ruby's is the key to her old life, the key to the yellow house. Everyone soon buys one, and their selling is phenomenal. But something still doesn't seem right.

Nate, the cute boy, is ignoring Ruby more than ever now. He is constantly troubled and late, but he never tells her why. And when Ruby demands the answer the day when they were trading gifts for Christmas, their friendship falls apart. How much worse can her life get?

Only later does Ruby figure out what Nate's trouble is -- his dad. Parents divorced, Nate lives with his dad because his mother is remarried, and only cares about her children right now. Has no time for Nate. And finally Nate figures out the cure -- to try and live with his father once again.

Ruby's life is twisted and different, but she's glad about it. Her new family is coming. Ruby's sister is pregnant, and her life couldn't get any better. And at the end of the book, she drops the key to her old life into a pond. To keep it away forever.

Ugh. Sorry that this is super long. I'm terrible at reviews. XD This is more like a fly of the book instead of a summary XD
