Who we are ... bios of our reviewers Lee, member of Teen Book Club
I am 12 years old and like to bike, hike, write,
read (I especially like to read about the War of 1812), and hang out with my
friends. I like to listen to The Beatles and the Arrogant Worms. I have a
gerbil and (approximately) 11 fish. I have never left Canada but want to go to
Europe. When I grow up I want to be an engineer or an architect. Some people
call me “Fish.” I have a warped sense of humour and love to read humourous
books. I also like to shower.

I'm addicted to reading young adult and junior books, and that's really
all you need to know! But, I would be happy to tell you more.... growing
up on a farm in Saskatchewan was an exciting beginning, but when I was
18 I moved to Calgary in search of bigger things. Along the way I have:
served hungry diners; gone to university (twice); wished I was a drummer
in a girl-band; planted trees; taught high school, pre-school, and English;
sold books and bagels; travelled Canada from end to end; seen quite a
lot of Asia; and finally, decided to move to Banff, where life is very
good to me!

I really like ice cream and “Fall Out Boy,” and
I can cross-stitch. I have a twin brother, a younger brother, a little
sister and a puppy. I’m 13, but everyone says I look 10. I’m
Korean – not Japanese, or Chinese (I hate it when people ask me
that)! People either call me Gracie or Shrimp. I have a somewhat “twisted”
sense of humour, but people like me for it so I guess it sort of evens
out! My all-time favourite books have to be Meg Cabot’s “Mediator”
series.
Isaac, Teen Summer Reading participant
I’m 13 and I like to play soccer, rugby, and softball.
I have a dog (and a twin sister). I have traveled to Vancouver and Victoria,
as well as South Korea. My favourite band is the Red Hot Chili Peppers
and I like to watch the TV show “Friends.” I love a good joke.
Siddharth, Teen Summer Reading participant
I like books with lots of blood and gore! I also like basketball.
My favourite band is Green Day and I like watching funny shows on TV.
