Book Title: Anahitas Woven Riddle Author: Meghan Nuttal Sayres Reviewer: Rheeannon Bourget (Age 14) Book Rating: Summary: Anahitas Woven Riddle was about a young woman wanting to have some free will. She has been arranged to marry the Khan, a much older man. To stop this from happening she has asked her father to hold a contest. Anahita must weave a riddle in her wedding qali and whoever solves the riddle will be her spouse. Little does she know that she is not only weaving her qadi, but her life. With each thread she comes closer to her destiny. Will she end up with Khan, the school teacher, the Shepard, the carpet bagger, or the prince? After reading the book, I now wonder about how much of the culture of Iran has changed. I wonder if they will ever get choices or remain under control. One thing I learned from this book is that we take our rights for granted. We never really stop to think of our consequences. I learned we should appreciate the things we have, because we are lucky enough to have them in the first place. If I could change one thing about the book I would be the ending is one thing I would change. I felt that it didnt close off the story well. That it seemed a little rushed to such a great tale. I would have made it seep into Anahitas future a little bit, to see that it ended well. The thing I liked the most about the book was the lesson and the wisdom Anahita got from her experience. She went from being a little, spoiled, selfish girl to a kid, understanding, and patient woman. And

I would recommend this book to anyone who loves historical fiction with a bit of a twist to it so that the characters seem almost from our generation instead of the 18th century.

Book Title: Tithe: A Modern Fairytale Author: Holly Black Reviewer: Michaela Batstone (Librarian) Book Rating: Summary: Tithe is about sixteen-year old Kaye, who lives with her irresponsible, single mother and moves back to her childhood town. In her hometown she meets a mysterious man and is reunited with her childhood fairy friends. When she finds they need her help to get out from under the rule of the Unseelie royal court, she agrees to be part of a dangerous ploy that will ensure seven years freedom for the fey. But after the plots begins to twist and turn, Kaye must decide who are her true friends and mortal

enemies, and the reality is startling. She soon finds herself a pawn in an age-old battle between two rival faerie kingdoms, and what is at stake is her life and the lives of many innocent people, including her friends. One thing I learned from this book is about the mythological history and culture of the faeries. This book stays surprisingly true to the historical classification of fairies that has been written about for hundreds of years. Before reading this book, I was unaware that the Seelie Court gets its name from the Old English saelig, which means blessed, silly and harmless. And Unseelie would be translated roughly as unholy. I was also unaware that tithe is Old English for tenth and is a term used to mean a voluntary tax to a religious organization. It dates back through the Old Testament. This tax could be paid in money, animals, wine, and other goods. The thing I liked the most about the book was the depictions of the under the hill, thought not including the rather gruesome treatment of the captive fey. But the descriptions of the revels, costumes, and adornments in the Unseelie festivities was extremely interesting. After reading the book, I now wonder about further historical basis to the book. There were a lot of references to fey words, practices, faerie types, and so forth that I did not understand and there was not much description. If I could change one thing about the book I would be the swearing. My gosh, there was a lot of swearing! I rarely feel that it helps the book at all. I would also have the book be a bit longer so that the author could have gone into more depth behind the faerie world. And it took me a long time figuring out what was going on and who was one Kayes side throughout the book. Though I dont think the vagueness was necessarily intentional. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes suspense, romance, and magic of course.
