Submitted by: Kaytrina, age 16
Genre: Soundtracks and Cast Recordings
Review Excerpt:
The lyrics tell the story of the musical, and, even though I've never seen the play, I have a good overview of what the story is. The lyrics are very amazingly empowering, especially in "Defying Gravity"!

Music Review: Regina Spektor
Submitted by: Fairyqueen, age 14
Genre: Indie, Folk
Review Excerpt:
It makes me feel like I'm reading a diary. Her songs are like short stories or someone's thoughts. I want more tracks that are just her and a piano, because she works wonders with that thing!

Full Review: Reviving Ophelia by Mary Pipher
Submitted by: NotOphelia, age 15
Genre: Nonfiction
Review Excerpt:
Mary Pipher tells the stories of different girls she has had appointments with. However, she talks as if all girls are very troubled and only shows scenarios of girls with traumatic pasts, addictions, or identity problems. These girls sometimes have really interesting or sad stories, and Pipher relates this to society and history, which can be interesting. But she blames the media way too much for girls' problems.
