Instead, Melanie fills Wanderer's mind with visions of the man Melanie loves-Jared, a human who still lives in hiding. Wanderer probes Melanie's thoughts, hoping to discover the whereabouts of the remaining human resistance. But there was one difficulty Wanderer didn't expect: the former tenant of her body refusing to relinquish possession of her mind. Wanderer, the invading "soul" who has been given Melanie's body, was warned about the challenges of living inside a human: the overwhelming emotions, the glut of senses, the too vivid memories. When Melanie, one of the few remaining "wild" humans is captured, she is certain it is her end. Humans become hosts for these invaders, their minds taken over while their bodies remain intact and continue their lives apparently unchanged. Our world has been invaded by an unseen enemy. Thank-you Barry for the copy of your fantastic novel! If you are just looking for a sweet, short, easy, fun read, this is definately a good choice. Parents and other adults will enjoy this book as well.
It's well paced and doesn't talk down to the readers. It shows the cultural differences on both sides. It's a quick and solid read, a book that teenagers will love because it doesn't treat them like they're stupid and incompetent. For American readers who grew up with the Harry Potter series, this book will be especially interesting. Since I traveled from the States to the UK recently, I was fascinated by the lead character's views as he traveled from the UK to the US. He was a clever character, and i couldnt help but falling in love with the British 'Knight' a little myself.īetween the characterization and the well-paced plot, this book never becomes tedious. It helps that Fred's a very likable character, and his humor is not only laugh-out-loud funny at times, but it's also very touching. Readers will love laughing along with Fred as he finds out what it really means to be an American. This book is a hilarious look at culture shock even when you both speak the same language and a fresh look at the ins and outs of teenage romance. A fantastic story about teens, young love and what really happens when you go "Across the Pond". The characters are well developed and their escapades are believable. It is an extremely well written novel for a young adult romance often, YA romance novels seem to think that all they need is romance to be good which is so not true. It's funny, sure, but it can be sad, while-at the same time-it's just an enjoyable novel. In spite of this, it is an easy, entertaining read. The book's humor is reminiscent of Blume's books that were written for younger audiences while touching on a serious subject similar to the books written for older audiences. Storyheart comes across as a modern day Judy Blume with Across The Pond.
