"Saints in Limbo" by River Jordan.
I read this book a few weeks back because the cover looked intriguing. As soon as I read the first chapter, I realized River Jordan, was 3 things.
1) a very descriptive author
2) a person who liked out of "the norm" things
3) someone with a very majestic name
None the less, this book is a rather strange fiction novel. I'm not sure if I would really push the reading of this book. Yes, it is very well written, and kind of quirky, but it is also very strange. Here let me say this-they find a magical rock that can take a person back in time, and someone is trying to steal that
magical rock. Sounds like it could make you laugh, but this book doesn't really have any humor in it, sadly.
The reason you would read this book, River Jordan develops the characters very well, also the story line has a good twist in it, and the book just in itself it written in the way that make you feel as if you have an emotional attachment to the characters. Plus, River Jordan is possibly the coolest name ever, seriously...I'm not kidding.
Reasons you shouldn't read this book, it's a little boring and strange. Also, there isn't any "life lesson" learned.
In conclusion, if you want to waste some time because you're bored...read "Saints in Limbo"

When I was younger somehow I ended up with a book by Roderick Townley. I don't even remember where I got it, but I read it over and over. It's the story a girl named Sylvie who lives in a story. It really appealed to me because I was always the girl with her nose in a book and it was interesting to see the relationship the reader ended up having with Sylvie. I've never thought about books and the characters in books the way they are in the Great Good Thing. The plot of the book that Sylvie lives in is very cliche, but the rest of the book is really original. I loved how Sylvie ended up saving her book and getting it re-written. I always thought it was a great book, and it's one of my childhood favorites. And, there's a sequel! This is a great book to read to little kids with big imaginations, because they'd get it, and likely, they'd never think about the books they read the same way.
