Going Rogue by Robin Benway
5.0
AR level: 4.2
Grade appropriate: Middle school and up
I really did love this book. It was a lot of fun. But it is not really appropriate for my elementary kiddos. I think most middle school kids could handle the minimal objectionable content in this book and high school kids should have no problems.
RATING BREAKDOWN:
Overall: 5/5-- Loved this book. It's fast paced and action packed.
Creativity: 4/5-- Teen spies seem to be a theme recently, but this one is one of the better ones.
Characters: 5/5-- I loved each of the characters in this book. I'd be friends with them if they were real.
Engrossing: 5/5-- It was one that I wanted to read all the time, but life does get in the way. I guess the fact that it took me a couple of weeks to finish is an indicator that it wasn't as engrossing as I thought it was.
Writing: 5/5-- Just good. The writing didn't get in the way of telling the story.
Appeal to kids: 5/5-- Kids are going to love it! I don't feel like it's quite appropriate for elementary (see comments below) but middle school and high school kids will be absolutely into it.
Appropriate length to tell the story: 5/5
CONTENT:
Language: none
Sexuality: mild, there is some serious kissing and Maggie and her boyfriend sleep in the same bed while they are on the run.
Violence: mild
She is chased & her enemies shoot at her family & set her house on fire.
Drugs/Alcohol: mild, some of Maggie's friends drink Champagne
