Summary: Page Turner, will keep you hooked!
Comment: This book has many characters so it would be hard for me to summarize a review of what it's about. What I can tell you is that I hadn't read the first book and I thought I would be confused while I read this book, but I drifted along with everything that happened. Much suspense and everytime on thing happens it is quickly changed by someone else. In the begin I thought it wasn't worth my time, but when I reached the middle I knew that it had to be 5 stars and nothing less!

Summary: Beyond the Western Sea
Comment: This was a very good book, but soemtimes I found that it dragged on a bit. Personaly, I liked the first book in the 'series' better, (Beyond the Western Sea,) because it was faster paced and it contained more adventure. However, this book had a great first 100 pages,the last couple chapters were full of suspense, but in between it got kind of boring. The first part of the book is about the journey Patrick, Maura and Laurence take to reach America. Maura and Patrick travel in steerage, were they meet Bridy, who's parents die and ask Maura to take care of her. In steerage, they come face to face with death, rats, storms, etc. Laurence boards the ship as a stowaway, and is almost found several times. Patrick brings food to him. When they are about to reach America, Maura realizes Laurence needs an identity. Laurence goes to America as Bridy's dead brother, John Farerty. I won't tell you what happens next, because then there would be no point in reading the book. However, expact an unexpected twist at the end of the book. All in all, this book was a good read, and it is worth reading. Just be sure to read the first book in the series, (Beyond the Western Sea,) first.

Summary: Avi's Lord Kirkle's Money
Comment: Lord Kirkle's Money picks right up from book one. As the O'Connells travel across the western sea they take in a girl on the same boat whose parents have died. The boat has an epidemic of ship fever. Patrick struggles to sneak his stowaway friend, Laurence, enough food. Meanwhile, Mr. Drabble, a companion of the O'Connells', teaches his rich friend proper grammar in order to make some money. The O'Connells are to be picked up by their father in America. Are they sure their father is still alive? If not, what will become of them? There are many people in America who will do almost anything to stop Irish and the other immigrants from staying in America. Where will Mr. Drabble go? Will the O'Connells survive? Avi has done it again! His book is filled with adventure. It would definitely go in my top 50 list. There are lots of problems and some how, everything ties in. Even though the words don't take you away, this book definitely has power. Avi puts in lots of conflict and gives every character strong feelings. Whether the character is good or evil, he or she does something for the opposite. Everything turns out okay,but are you sure that it's the way it should be? Avi's books are just inspirational.
