Priscilla the Great is a fabulously, fun, entertaining read. Priscilla herself is a snarky, engaging character, whom I really enjoyed getting to know.

Twelve year old Priscilla has grown up thinking her family was some what normal. With a mother who's often away on business, a dad who looks more like a WWE wrestler, a sixteen year hold heart throb bother and two five- year old trouble making twin bothers, she never would have thought her family is far from normal! With out giving away some of the plot, it's not until Priscilla's powers or secret abilities are known does she realize that she and her family are far from normal!

What I enjoyed the most about the book is the interaction between Priscilla and her family and friends. Each of them are great characters and add something unique to the story. I loved her description of her dad, as he's someone I wouldn't want to meet in a dark ally, but yet he has this fierce love and devotion as a family man. When you read about him, you'll understand what I mean. I adored her mom!! I was pleasantly surprised with Priscilla and Kyle's refreshing relationship. It was great watching them go from always competing against each other to something more. I think I was just as shocked by the change as Priscilla since they have grown up together.

Priscilla the Great is action packed, has some great plot twists, and is an engaging read. The best way for me to describe it is it's a sci-fi meets contemporary, with a little bit of coming of age and dashed with a little bit of romance. Sybil was written a fabulous 1st book in what I think will be a great middle grade series. I would highly recommend picking up this book. I think it's going to be appealing to both boy and girls, as it offers a little bit of everything. Middle grade wise, I give it 5 stars. I also posted my review for this on our children's book review site Mundie Kids.

Priscilla the Great, the Funny, the Endearing... I loved this book and I am decidedly NOT a young adult.

Sybil Nelson captured perfectly what I imagine it would be like for a young girl to find out she had superpowers. All of the characters are wonderful.

A fun read!

One caution, and this in no way changes the rating
Priscilla feels her powers are in some way connected to her menstruation and, at one point, she "tricks" a male friend into buying her sanitary napkins. There is obviously nothing wrong with this, I just wanted to mention it in case some parent doesn't feel they are ready to explain this to their younger childer or just to let the parent know that the questions might be coming. I don't have children, so I don't know how young they find out [I was in either 5th or 6th grade, but I know things are done younger these days], so it may be a non-issue. Again, nothing wrong with it, I just wanted parents to be informed.
Let me say first here that Author Sybil Nelson is one amazing author. The way this book flowed and topics that were dealt with were so engaging that you feel for the characters as if you were there in their life's. You want to reach over an hug Priscilla and let her know that you are there for her.

The cover is awesome. Love the colors and the girl power t-shirt.

It is diffidently a middle school grade, but I believe some older ones would also like it. Believe me I am a WHOLE lot older and I absolutely loved every page. Will be picking some of the other books that author Sybil Nelson has out.

So due to the above I will be, "and wish I could say a higher rating", I will be giving this book a Breath of Life Rating of

Five Clock Rating!!!

Disclosure I did receive the above book in exchange for my honest opinion and or review. But the Opinions are my own and yours may differ.
If Nancy Drew had a child one of the X-Men, you'd have someone almost as awesome as Priscilla the Great. This story is written for preteens through young adults, but it's an excellent read for all ages. As far as why I chose to read it instead of one of my normal fantasy books, well . . . slight confession I've read all the Nancy Drew series, most of the Hardy Boys, all the Tom Swift, all the Cherry Ames . . . and lots of other books geared to young adult. It's what I read before someone introduced me to my first Xanth book at the age of 14. I've actually had this one in my for over a year now (along with a bazillion other books, or however many the holds)

I really, really, really enjoyed this book. Priscilla is a likable character who goes through the standard frustrations of a 12 year old, but also has a few twists thrown in. She's not without her personality flaws, but they're realistic and the reader can totally sympathize with them. She's got a brothers that make her life difficult, as brothers are supposed to do, and an overprotective father. Her mother is always absent, which upsets Priscilla more than perhaps anything. A couple of boys and a best friend complicate matters, as they should. That's their job after all.

Then information about the Selliwood Institute starts to appear. I can't tell you too much without giving spoilers. Mix in shady experiments, children, government plots and you get a story that's filled with adventure, danger and mystery. There's no end to the suspense. I started reading and didn't stop until I had finished the story a few hours later.

The only negative I found was that certain things stretch believability a little bit, but it wasn't enough to detract from the story, and it might not be a problem for it's target audience, which is probably people under the age of 40. *chuckling*

I highly recommend this book for preteens on up. It's a great story with characters that the reader can relate to. I've already purchased the next in the series and will be getting more as I finish each one. Oh yeah, there's about 8 or so of them, so it's plenty to keep a reader interested.
