Yo...I'm sorry that you didn't enjoy book 1, Sierra. You should try book 2; the series gets better as it goes along. And, it's ok to use 'and' at the beginning of a sentence, as long as it's a complete sentence and not a fragment. But, you do have to capitalize it if it's the first word of the sentence. And, if your teacher tells you not to, then you probably shouldn't use it in your school papers, or you might get down-graded. ;-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16813084292265103896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13602285.post-50604763349860125912007-10-24T22:23:00.000-04:002007-10-24T22:23:00.000-04:00Book #1 is ok, I have read better series and I pro...Book #1 is ok, I have read better series and I probably wont read the secound book of these. and yes, Im a 6th grader girl (you can tll because I used and at the begging of a sentence). lol<BR/><BR/>If u want a good book look up the Feak series of Darren ShanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13602285.post-60113271542465322132007-02-27T22:33:00.000-05:002007-02-27T22:33:00.000-05:00wow! this book is so kool. it helped me with me re...wow! this book is so kool. it helped me with me report.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13602285.post-1164845205701812162006-11-29T19:06:00.000-05:002006-11-29T19:06:00.000-05:00Cool!

I imagine the everafter characters would be enchanting on film. My daughter, age 11, was impressed by the "10th Kingdom" a film which exhibited a similar everafter theme. I look forward to reading the third book. I had not yet come across "The Problem Child".Constancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14468565066764728551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13602285.post-1151433635203246832006-06-27T14:40:00.000-04:002006-06-27T14:40:00.000-04:00You're welcome !Personally I can never work out to...You're welcome !<BR/><BR/>Personally I can never work out to what ages the American schools' grades apply !Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15888298679182871669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13602285.post-1151375811041855592006-06-26T22:36:00.000-04:002006-06-26T22:36:00.000-04:00You're right, that is confusing!

Some counties (similar to your states, but much smaller) operate a three tier system: primary, middle and secondary school, others (including the county of Gloucestershire where I grew up) simply operate the two tier system: primary (ages 5 - 11) and secondary (ages 11 - 16/18). But of course, in addition that, you have Public schools (which are really private, fee paying and usually old - Eton, Harrow, Rugby, to name the three most famous ones). Plus at secondary level, some schools are grammar schools (which I went to), where the emphasis is on academic study and traditions abound there nearly as much as in the Public schools, and the other schools are not grammar schools and tend to concentrate more on the vocational qualifications - but New Labour is trying to break down those differences...<BR/><BR/>Since I'm not buying (only borrowing) the Sisters Grimm series, I'll give the third one a chance...Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15888298679182871669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13602285.post-1151289929225487602006-06-25T22:45:00.000-04:002006-06-25T22:45:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16813084292265103896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13602285.post-1151289776029507172006-06-25T22:42:00.000-04:002006-06-25T22:42:00.000-04:00I think the series does appeal more to middle scho...I think the series does appeal more to middle schoolers than to adults, but I enjoy seeing the characterization of the Everafters in the modern world. The third book has one extended scene which is a gathering of the Everafters, and I just really found it funny.<BR/><BR/>Do you have middle school in the UK? I confess I don't know how your school system breaks down. Middle school in the U.S. is 6th to 8th grades, which is roughly 11 to 13 year-olds.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16813084292265103896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13602285.post-1151164456449449112006-06-24T11:54:00.000-04:002006-06-24T11:54:00.000-04:00Sheila, I'll hang on for the third book, then, and...Sheila, I'll hang on for the third book, then, and give the series another chance if you feel that the third book is better than the first two were.
