Carry On

"Simon Snow was the worst chosen who's ever been chosen." Rainbow Rowell says on the inside cover of her novel Carry On. Carry On is the story of a teenage magician named Simon Snow and his adventures in his crazy magical world. He, his best friend Penelope (a ridiculously smart and brave girl) and his worst enemy, roommate (and possible vampire) Baz, go on a wild adventure. Along the way the find love and discover their true friendships.

Other characters:  
  • Agatha - Simon's girlfriend who might or might not have a crush on his enemy.
  • The Mage - The only father like figure Simon has ever had and leader of their magic school - Watford.
  • The Humdrum - The "thing" that has been hunting down Simon since his first year at Watford.
All readers will enjoy this book. Some of the themes readers should know about are: detailed kissing, bad language, and violence.

The age of readers I think should read this book are 13+. I would give this book 4 chickens.

If you liked dystopian fiction like Harry Potter by J.K Rowling, A Wrinkle In Time by Madeline L'Engle or Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare.

If you read and enjoy Carry On, you should consider reading Eleanor and Park or Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell.

  1. Hi Talia! This is Claire. I would suggest doing a review on The City of Glass. I loved this review, and I love Carry On! I love your blog, too.
