The Girl With the Silver Eyes

Summary: *~Its fun to make things move just by thinking about them~*
Review: In this book the main character, Katie, has some things that are different about her but not everything about her is weird. She has peculiar eyes. They are silver. Katie seems to have no friends that's because the kids at school don't like her because they say "When Katie's around weird stuff goes on". Now all of the kid's don't know that Katie's silver eyes can do things. Katie's eyes can help her move things by thinking about them. But no one knows this. The author Willo Roberts is very talented because his book is wonderful and he puts tons of detail in it and he doesn't seem to miss anything. I personally think that 4th and up can read this. If you can I advise you to get this book and read it!

Summary: A Modern Children's Classic
Review: Katie is a little girl who is a bit unusual to say the least. Born with silver eyes and an uncanny ability to make strange things happen, Katie has been a loner for most of her short life. After the death of her grandmother whom she has lived with for several years she goes to live with her divorced mother and this is when her problems really start. Digging into the past Katie finds out that she isn't the only child who is, well a bit strange. Friends of her mother who all at one time worked for the same medical company also have strange children. Children with silver eyes and strange powers like telekinesis and mind reading. As Katie tries to find her fellow "silver eyes" she is watched from afar by a man who could be a friend or a foe. This is a well-written children's science/mystery fiction book for the younger reader but it can also be enjoyed by older kids and adults alike. A quality book that makes reading fun and exciting.

Summary: If you read it, it will become a favorite
Review: Katie is different from her peers; she has silver eyes, can move things with her mind, and can even read the minds of animals. But she's also a 10 year old girl, and she is beset by the usual problems of fitting in with the other kids, and relating to her mother. But her life takes a turn for the worse when a mysterious man starts asking questions about her. She is eventually forced to strike out into the world in an attempt to learn more about herself, and to help herself deal with the special pressures she must face.
The Good and the Bad:
This is a great book, not least of all because the premise is incredible. Every ten year old dreams of having superpowers, and this book inserts that exciting proposition into a realistic background that is more typical of young adult reading. As a child, I read this book again and again, and even remember having dreams in my adult life that are related to the imagery in the book. The writing is clean and engaging, and allows us to fully enjoy the fascinating story as it unfolds.

Summary: About the book
Review: Katie is strange. Not to herself, no she doesn't think she's strange. But to her mother, her father, her grandmother, her neighbors, her peers, and everyone else arond her, she's strange. Katie's got super-natural powers. She can move things with her eyes. She tries not to around other people, but by the time she thinks about the consequences, she's already done it. How does Katie learn to cope with it? Did the pain-killer her mother was taking before Katie was born affect Katie? Is that why they took it off the market? What about the people who her mom was working with? What about their babies?

Summary: One Against the World
Review: Like many of the above reviewers, I am an older reader (28 - a grad student in English Lit) reviewing this book. Although it has been years since I last read it, I remember it well because there was nothing else like it out there.
Granted, you can find other books with the "Girl against the world" motif (Pennies For the Piper, Jacob Have I Loved, Bridge to Terabithia, Homecoming, Jackaroo, Scott O'Dell's stuff, The Language of Goldfish, Harriet The Spy, the Anastasia Krupnick series, The Secret Window, new stuff by Francesca Lia Block (sp?)etc.), but none of them really speak to a young reader with such a voice of no-b.s. realism as Willo Davis Roberts.
The atmosphere of her books reminds me, as an adult, of Shirley Jackson's and perhaps Ursula K. LeGuin's. If you still love this sort of dark social commentary/one against the world motif as an adult, there are many extraordinary literary writers to check out. Le Guin, Octavia Butler, Lois McMaster Bujold, Shirley Jackson, Tanith Lee (though she is quite a bit darker), Margaret Atwood, Jeanette Winterson, and Angela Carter, among many others.

Then she went to live with her grandmother for the next six years. Katie has special powers, where she can move things just by thinking about them. Mr. Copper (the police officer) was curious as to the true store behind Katies grandmothers death. He had found out that Katies grandmother had spoiled her, and that the true story was that her grandmother had fallen down the cellar stairs and was not pushed by Katie.
This book is great. I hope you enjoyed this book review of "The Girl With the Silver Eyes".

Summary: HORRIBLE PILE OF CRAP!
Review: Ok. My teacher read this story aloud, and it was TRASH! Katie and other characters were very predictable. I could predict the outcome of the story about 100 pages away from the actual ending. It had poor word choice, and the writing style was crud. Some of the characters were annoying and un-neaded. Lastly, this book was hard to follow at parts, but very easy at parts. TOTALLY CONFUSING!

Review: One girl had certain powers. Katie is the main character in The Girl With The Silver Eyes. The book tells you about her powers and how she makes friends. All of her friends have powers too. Katie has silver eyes and all of her friends have different color eyes.

I like this book because it is interesting and fun to read.
