CREATIVE AND SPONTANEOUSa review by Claire
Wow, After the Fire was an amazing book!
I loved it so much that I finished it one day!
The book explained a story about how a girl dreams of having a new life. She had a tragic event in her life, so she hopes to have a new life some day. It\'s a MUST READ BOOK!

Very detailed booka review by Katrina
Dear Becky Citra, Your book (After the Fire) was my first book for Red Cedar. Your details pulled the book together a lot. It is one of my favorite books EVER.

really cool..!a review by Ariel
I thought that this book was very interesting. It had plenty of details and when I started it it took me a couple pages to get into it but after that I absolutely loved it!!! I would totally read it again and it\'s so far one of my top books that I read.
It Was...a review by Sam
I think this book should have told more about the fire. But other than that, it was really good. I love how Alice is like the character in her story - whatever she does, Alice does.
Could have been bettera review by Eliot
It was an okay book but I loved the way that the author wrote details - so elegant. If I was writing this book, I would leave all the swearing out. I give this book a three and a half out of five.
AMAZING!a review by Andrea
This was overall one of my favorite books. It was a great story and I just LOVED the whole book! READ THIS BOOK!
Full of surprisesa review by Allie
This book was a great story and it had so many surprises. It was full of adventure and mystery. I was so interested, I couldn\'t put it down. I recommend reading it! I give it a five out of five!
Best book ever!a review by Alyssa
This book is amazing! I love the way Melissa finds a friend in Alice and uncovers a dark world that Alice lives in. I like the way Alice does whatever the character in her book does so that she knows what it feels like and she can write the better description.
imaginative and emotionala review by Keechy (the great)
I found that the author of this book was very imaginative; the adventures and personalities were very well planned and were different and odd. Also the book contained a variety of emotions in all of the characters and in some cases it was an unknown and mysterious type of emotion. The author was also very descriptive and I found myself attached to the main characters and able to vividly visualise it. I would give this book a 4.5 out of 5 or 8 out of 10. Because I have for sure read better books and it wasn\'t my favorite type of book (I love fantasy).
Wowa review by Sydira
It was really cool how it was fantasy and factual at the same time.
It\'s OKa review by Brendan
It\'s not the best book I ever read. I wouldn\'t recommend it, but it\'s my opinion.
Awesomea review by Quinlyn
I love your book. It was one I have read in Red Cedar. I especially loved the twist ending. I hope other people like it as much as I did.

different book a review by Skylar
After The Fire is a good book. If I could change anything, it would be to not have a boring beginning. I recommend this book because it is full of surprises and you never know what will happen next. When you get to chapters 4 and up, you never want to put this book down.
WOWa review by halle
OMG i finished this book a couple days ago and I LUUURVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Loved It!a review by Kate-Lynn
I love this book because when Melissa went to the cabin, it got on fire, and when she went to the island, it was awesome. I was sad when Alice said her little brother died because he had cancer. I gave this book a 5/5 and I think you should read it.
Very Cool!a review by Brooke
It was sad at some points, but Melissa meets a very mysterious girl named Alice who takes her into a fantasy world.
Super!a review by Emma
Super! I thought this book was good because it caught my attention on the first page! It was very good because it also did not stop dead or lose my attention, and I did not get lost because it was too complicated. The characters were so realistic and I could totally see this happening in my head. There were plenty of details and I could see the little island on the lake. I could see the canoe on the shore. And I could see the fort in the tree with all the books and sleeping bags inside! It was just great! It\'s a book I could re-read over and over and still not think it was not interesting anymore!
Best book ever!a review by Alyssa

Best Book Ever!a review by Amelia
After The Fire is a spectacular book with amazing description and an outstanding plot. It was a book that I could not put down. It has lots of suspense and adventure, and I was inspired by how beautiful it was. It can be very sad at times, but it was one of the best books I have ever read. There is so much mystery, and the ending reveals a lot of amazing secrets. I would definitly recommend this book, and I would rate it 100/100!
You\'ve Got To Read This!a review by Emily
I am reading After The Fire by Becky Citra. Can you believe how it would be like living in a lakeside cabin for one month and meeting a strange girl that makes you want to jump off a cliff? Well, that\'s what it was like for Melissa. She is desperate to escape her mother and brother and she goes to an island to meet Alice, the strange girl who says she has a perfect life, but actually it\'s not as it seems. Well, if you like awesome adventure and fantastic fiction stories, I would recommend this great book for you! It was definitley one of my favourites!
Friendshipa review by Koralee
Overall this was a mysterious, fun book. I liked it. Some parts or even one line I didn\'t like. But I thought it was really interesting. I loved the part were she actually jumped off the cliff! It shows a lot about friendship. I rate this 8 out of 10.

Amazing Book!!a review by Iris
The book \'After the Fire\' was a very good book. I liked it that Alice was so different. Both girls were very good characters. The nightmares Melissa were having clearly described the house fire. I can see it. Alice was strange... But also very brave and outgoing. This is truly an amazing book :D Read!! I rate it 10/10! i would recommend for 10-13 maybe..

Awesome, amazing!a review by Megan
After the Fire is an amazing book! It is a great genre of courage, friendship, and honesty. I would rate this book 4 and a half out of 5. I encourage kids to read this book.
Friendshipa review by Eunice
I would rate this book 4 out of 5, because Alice and Melissa became friends in no time. I was really curious about how Alice
is living, but I found the answer. If you like something about friendship or friends, this is the book that you will like. I hope you like it!
Imaginativea review by HAMYbear
This book reminded me of \"Bridge to Terabithia.\" Its way of imagining fantasy is the same, even though those fantasy things might have never happened. Alice\'s strong personality compared with Melissa\'s uneasy attitude is a great mix. Alice is full of surprises, and I was shocked to read what she was planning on doing next. However, I think the beginning could have been a bit more hooking.
stupendousa review by Rebecca
An exciting book with adventure filled pages.I would recomend this book to anyone wanting to read an adventurous
book filled with friendship and mystery.
An excellent booka review by Alex
After The Fire is a friendship and adventure book. The characters are believable, well described and surprising. I rate it 10 out of 10. I recommend it to ages 9-13.
AMAIZING BOOKa review by abby
I think that this book is amaizing and that the athor wrote it with a lot of feeling and that if I had to rate it then i would rate it 110 out of 100. I think the carecter Alice is fun and adventurous but can do stuff a little dangerous. I also think that its sad how Alice lies alot and has a horebale relashonship with her brother.I think this book is good for grades 4 to 8.
A complicated but an awesome booka review by Jessica
This book is little complicated but i like complicated books,so i think this book is really good! It shows the excitement when u meet new girl, and sadness and happiness. Still, i would rate it 9 out of 10 because i would really like to know what happened next, whether Mel moved or not, and about what happened to Alice and her brother...
AMAZININGa review by Inyoung
This book is tons of fun, interesting and amazing. If you want to read about friendship/adventure, well, read this book. You will just love it.
Excitinga review by Mya
After the fire is a great book if you were trying to learn something from it you would learn a lot about making friends. My favourite part is when she meets Alice and the worst part is when Alice and her brother have a fight. I would give it 5 out of 5.
