5.0 out of 5 stars Great read!
This story is a page turner… can wait for the next book!
5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!
This is such a good book for teens! The characters are likable and age appropriate! Each page has them guessing. The characters must decide between what is right and wrong.
4.0 out of 5 stars Loved the Treasure Hunt In the Mystery!
The Liars Society is a fun, adventure-filled mystery to kick off a new series. Weatherby is a tomboy who is used to fending for herself and is being raised by a single mom. Fortunately, her neighbor taught her everything she knows about sailing and her skills are good enough to give her a chance at a fancy Boston prep school. I loved the little peek into how the 1% lives as Weatherby experiences it all for the first time - the good and the bad - in her new school. Her "enemy" is Jack, who was born into a wealthy family who will do whatever it takes to further his family's legacy. The story is told from both points of view, which is interesting and will appeal to more readers. It was fun to see both sides of scenes and I feel both girls and boys will enjoy this book.It was a little difficult to connect with the characters, especially the supporting cast as they are kind of one-dimensional. Still, the mystery was solid and the clues/scavenger hunt were fun to follow. I will definitely be checking out the 2nd book in the series!
5.0 out of 5 stars Was a joy for my 12 year old
My "I hate reading" 12 year old devoured this book. I call that a major win!
5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect new start
Perfect new start to a new series! It's a middle grade mystery and it was really exciting to read and pretty easy as well. Can't wait for the next book!
5.0 out of 5 stars MUST READ!!
An edge-of-your-seat mystery with so much commercial appeal that will keep you guessing until the very end. This book is also a really fun game that will engage reluctant readers and thrill kids who read everything. Told from two perspectives—Jack and Weatherby—this story is great for kids 8 to 14 as well as their parents and teachers. Must read.
3.0 out of 5 stars Fun MG mystery
This book absolutely is in the vein of The Westing Game or The Inheritance Games (it also reminded me of a lesser-known MG novel called The Ambrose Deception), but something about this story kept me as a reader from really connecting with the story or characters. I almost felt as if I were being kept at arm’s length, which makes sense because it’s a mystery, but it also felt frustrating because the characters felt somewhat under-developed.The story centers around a fancy Boston prep school complete with a secret society, and both of the main characters, Weatherby and Jack, are on the sailing team. The story goes back and forth between their two points of view as they struggle for the top spots in the team, and to be accepted both at home and at school by who they truly are. I’ll be honest - I had a hard time imagining many of the scenes that take place in this book, because they are so far removed from my school experiences either as a student or teacher. Then again, I’ve never been to a magical school but was able to imagine that perfectly (long before HP movies came along) due to superior writing.I did enjoy this mystery, but I just needed a little more connection to the story, and it just wasn’t there for me. I did think the clues were extremely well done, and the book sets itself up perfectly for a series. It’s entertaining and will appeal to a niche group of readers, but I don’t see it being a huge hit at my school library.
5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn’t put it down!
This is a must-read! My 8-year-daughter and I loved reading this book together. It’s so great finding a book we both enjoy. We also loved the author’s other three books and appreciated how this book is a mystery and such a fun departure! We hear there is this first book in a series that’s yet to come and we can’t wait for book #2!
