Claudia Gray's Evernight: A Review by Keyani!


Bianca had to go to a different school because she needed to be more independent. What Bianca didn't know was that she was a vampire. When Bianca left her house she met a boy named Lucas while running away from him. I like this book because it's full of mystery and adventure. I also enjoy a great vampire book. You should read this book because it has a lot of academic words and you don't know what's going to happen next.

In Mattimeo a fox named Slagar the Cruel tricks the Redwallers into letting him and his cruel "performers" into Redwall. After, he slips a sleeping powder into the Redwallers' drinks and then he kidnaps their young ones and Mattimeo, Matthias' son. Slagar tries to stop them from following him and Matthias and the young ones' parents must go through many challenges. Eventually, Slagar reaches his destination and sells the kids into slavery. Their parents must fight evil rats to get their young ones back. I found Mattimeo to be very exciting because of the hardships they must face.
