After seeing Maggie Stiefvater at The National Book Festival I could not wait to read The Raven Boys. Like The Scorpio Races, this book is infused with folklore that adds such a rich background to her novels. Blue Sargent lives with her mother and other random psychic women who conduct readings. Blue, although not psychic herself, creates an energy field that adds to the paranormal experiences. As proclaimed by the women, Blue's ultimate fate is to kiss a boy who will then die and this causes her great consternation as she meets several Raven boys from the nearby academy whom she grows fond of. Gansby is one who is in search of 'ley lines" when crossed may awaken the medieval King Glendower. Gansby's roommates are along for the interesting ride as well, and they have their own demons to cross. This is a different novel full of interesting characters both good and bad, supernatural intrigue and of course the hint of romance.I can't wait for the sequel.

Use linoit.com for book reports
I used linoit.com for a web 2.0 assignment and think it would be great for book reports for struggling readers. It's fun and easy to use. It has loads of other uses but for kids this might be helpful.
