Wondering when new reviews will be posted? Yes, it's been a while! Due to the dark and disturbing nature of many YA novels, I decided to pull back on my reviewing some time ago for my own spiritual health. BUT, as of April 2020, I have decided it's time to resume regular reviewing, although I will not be writing as many as I once did. If you would like a book reviewed, please contact me through my "Cheri's Corner" page. If you would like to review a book, I would love to have you join me in this venture. Please visit the "How You Can Help" page. Thank you for visiting What's In It!

Why two review formats?As of June 2015, my review format has changed to an essay style. Though the new format will lack the precise detail of the old one, it will allow reviewers to accelerate the review process and thus cover more books.

YA GEM OF THE MOMENT:
The Giver, by Lois Lowry
Read the novel that began the dystopian genre in YA literature. Now a modern classic, The Giver is not only an unforgettable, thought-provoking tale in itself, it is also the first of a four-volume series. Are your teens beginning writers?The Denim Beret is an online program that seeks to serve the needs of teens and preteens who are ready to master the art of non-fiction writing. I offer both structured lessons and project-based mentoring for both homeschoolers and non-homeschoolers. Please browse my website for more information!
