Flotsam
Nice short story with happy ending.
This is a great young adult book because of the message it sends. The editor of this book should be ashamed. There are so many grammar, spelling and punctuation errors throughout its pages. I mentioned the errors to the students I was reading this with, and some found errors I missed. Aside from that, the story was going great until the end. There were WAY TOO MANY close connections that happened as the story came to a close. My 6th grade readers still enjoyed the book. :-)
This book was ok; I think younger kids (3rd grade, maybe?) will probably enjoy this because it's an easy, fairly entertaining story to follow and it's not too long. Btw, I think it's really weird that the author rated her own book.
EntertainingI enjoyed this book very much. I especially enjoyed how the main character learned that family is not always blood.
I'm the author. So honestly...what else could I say, except that this book is a awesome, and you would love it. However, the subjective, critical side of me says, "Well, come on, Steph, you're reviewing your own book on goodreads. That's rather lame---to say the least. Then the the author in me says, "Dude, shut up critic. It's lame not to try and share your work. Go ahead, Steph, give the best plug about your book you possibly can, do the best, be positive, proactive, because your book is
I'll start with the negative first; to begin, there were a couple spelling and grammar mistakes. Geocache was spelled geocash, there were a few commas missing, nothing too bad, but annoying nonetheless. That wasn't what threw me off, though. The characters were unrealistic, to the point where I couldn't identify with any of them. There was a lack of emotion. Also, I don't care if the gang identifies with Robin Hood, no self respecting one would dress like him and use arrows instead of guns. It

Amy was cursed. There was no doubt about it. It happened the day her mother left her in an old Lost and Found box when she was only three. That day, she believed, was the day that she had been cursed with the uncanny ability to locate lost items, people and things, but never to be able to find things she had lost herself. Tossed around from home to home, because no one wants her around, Amy is placed under the care of an old German man named, Mr. Heckler. There Amy finds, a lost baby deer, a home, and a chance of a new life.

The idea was interesting - the execution was terrible. I couldn't get over the punctation & grammar errors. The accent & thoughts/speech of some of the characters were way over the top, which made the whole thing totally unbelievable. I usually like the light & fluffy stuff because it's easy to get sucked in to the story. This was too much work - I found myself constantly checking how close I was to the end just to see if I could make it there... glad to finally have finished it so INice short story with happy ending.
