The Forest of Hands and Teeth by: Carrie Ryan

Readability: 5 Not terribly difficult.

Teachability: 5 This is more of a independent reading book. It has it's merits for action writing, suspense, a little romance and plot development, but other than that it really lies in the realm of leisure reading. (Suggested grade level: 9-12)

Did I Like It?: Yes. It was a pretty good fit for me. Zombies, evil nuns, a little romance, mystery, and a lot of adventure.

Summary: Mary has always wondered what lay beyond the forest of hands and teeth. The Sisterhood says that there is nothing, that their community is all that's left of the world. Mary wonders if they are hiding something. The forest of hands and teeth is filled with the unrelenting unconsecrated. They have to come from somewhere... Don't they?

Recommended for: Anyone over the age of 13. There is some pretty suggestive stuff in there so I wouldn't want anyone younger than that to be reading it. But as far as gender interest, I think there is plenty of things in this book for both the guys and the gals.
