Rating:  - Westmark Success
Westmark (Firebird) I used this book twice now. The first time was in a 6th grade LA class and most recently in a 5th grade Junior Great Books Group. All 7 of my (JGB)students loved the book. The description of the characters & setting is excellent and they loved the ending. Alexander shows a great sense of humor and keeps the reader in suspense until everything comes together in a surprise ending.

Rating:  - Am I the only one who didn't love this series?
I just finished reading this entire series of books (Westmark, The Kestrel, The Beggar Queen) and thus now feel the need to review them. I started reading the first book a year and a half ago, and it has taken me this long to get around to reading the last one. It's not that I'm a slow reader; on the contrary, I just didn't like the books enough that I was in any hurry to get through them all. I realise that I am a lone voice here in criticising these books, but I just don't think they lived up to ... Read More
