Click here to read what the teens had to say about the participating books and here’s a sampling of what the teens had to say about The Law of Three.

“I loved this book. It was everything I expected and more. It was suspenseful, thrilling and sad all at the same time. If I were to recommend one book from the 7 books on the island, it would be this one. I really hope it goes to the top!!”

“This book was outstanding! It was a mystery that was so suspenseful that it kept you on the edge of your seat for that entire book. This isn’t like your typical Nancy Drew Mystery where everything always turns out “fine and dandy”! I had no idea where this book was going but I was satisfied with the ending. I loved how all of the characters were so different and each had there own individual personalities. I loved the twist in the ending and I surprised by it. The Law of Three is a must-read and is the best book I have read so far!”

“This was the best book ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally! A book worth of selection!!!! The suspense and characters in this book were amazing! This author really did an superb job!!!!!!!!! I can’t say enough about this book, and I could go on for days, so I’m going to stop. The Law of Three should win Teen Survivor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“I loved this book- NOW I DONT KNOW WHICH BOOK TO GO! I loved Everlost and The Law of Three. No matter which wins Im happy ”

“I found this book to be awesome! once i picked it up , i didnt put it down until i was finished!! I think alot of you will like this book!”

Will Orillia Teens Choose This Book as the Lone Survivor?

Yay!!! The Law of Three by Caroline Rennie Pattison has made it into the final round of the Orillia Public Library’s Teen Survivor Book Club and is one step closer to becoming the Lone Survivor! This week saw the elimination of Meg Cabot’s How to be Popular.  Teens now have to chose between The Law of Three, a mystery in which teen detective Sarah Martin tries to get to the bottom of an alleged murder, which a classmate has been accused of, and Neal Shusterman’s Everlost, which follows teens Nick and Allie who land in Everlost, an alternate reality, following a fatal car accident.

“… once readers get past the resemblance of the plot of [Tell Everything] to the infamous Bernado case, they will find a work of fiction that while unsettling, shows the powers of an emerging writer with uncanny skills in crafting dialogue, plot and prose.

Pauline, who lives with her partner, Alex, has a closet full of secrets. Ramona, a friend from her teen years, has been charged with murdering her husband James. When the news reaches Pauline, she realizes that her life is just about to be turned upside down. Police investigators discover that Ramona and James had been sexually abusing young women lured into their home.

Was Pauline one of them? Or were the scripts written by her for make-believe sessions with Ramona and James merely innocent imaginary fun? What will happen to her life and Alex once she is forced to testify in a courtroom? Maybe it is all a bad dream, a slice of her life best forgotten but now revealed in a sensational case where her past life is under the microscope.

Tell Everything is certainly unsettling but one of the tasks of good literature is to disturb, to make the reader think for themselves, to act as a jury member deciding the value of a book. Sally Cooper has achieved all that – and more.”
