Really enjoyed this one. Sleepy small town has a problem with children dying young more often than you'd expect. Turns out they're actually taken and replaced by something else. The replacements don't tend to survive. This story is…

I loved this book, it was very imaginative. Very different, I thought it would be a great kids/preteens book, it was an easy and fun read. The story really grasps the attention of the reader, I love how the story unfolds and how I was not…

This book was alright. The story line was unique. The main character doesn't really think things through. It's one of those situations where you wish the characters had better communication with eachother and things would have worked out…

The best way to read this book is cuddle up with your dog, have a cup of coffee in your had and read it at night!

Brenna Yovanoff’s The Replacement is about a kid who isn’t normal. Oh sure Mackie has friends at school, but he also has severe reactions to the sight of blood and reacts badly to stainless steel and he has to stay out in unconsecrated…

I couldn't put it down. A mesmerizing story

Definitely a mature read due to language and plot of this story but if your into the paranormal genre it's a great book for you. I found it a little hard to follow at some points but it's a unique concept. Having baby's replaced with…

This novel grips you from its opening paragraph and from there a daunting tale unfolds. Playing on the old folk tales of changelings, fairy babes that are left in cribs while human babies are spirited away, “The Replacement” gives this…

I think the cover is more interesting than the story, but Mackie was a really strong character.

Mackie is a bit moody for my taste as a protagonist (I prefer mine cocky and overconfident) but I loved the idea of the story focusing on a "replacement" child. If you loved Labyrinth you will love this book!

An interesting story that ties in to so many different mythologies. The characters were interesting and believable with great characteristics and motivations. A great read.

I enjoyed this book, particularly in the fast-paced portions. I felt very connected to Mackie and his plight of being different... very different. He was aware of his circumstances and he allowed that to stop him from doing "normal"…

Well, I didn't really know what to expect when reading this book but I have to say that it was good. I found the whole baby-snatching thing a pretty awesome plot twist in this (dare I say it) 'coming of age' sort of story. I found there…

This book is amazing it's the perfect blend of a simple teenage " not fitting in" clause with an extra added kick of replacements

I loved this book. Made me skip doing other things so that I could finish it. Loved how conflicted and complicated Mackie was and loved all of his friends. A different world populated by characters with the same issues we all have. …

This book was surprisingly great. I wanted to read it about a year ago when I saw it in the book store but it got pushed off for a while. I'm really glad I finally got a chance to power through this. If you're a fan of the supernatural…

I was fascinated by the cover and wanted to know what the story was about. I found the book to stilting and slow - a really good premise and excellent characters but a little boring.

Just finished reading The Replacement. It has a really good storyline and is really really creepy and very descriptive. There are some curse words and the narration seemed choppy but it was a good read.

Was drawn in by the odd cover, and enjoyed every page after it. Would recommend for anyone who enjoys the fantasy genre and wants an easy entertaining read.

It’s an interesting fantasy teen book, dark and full of intricate plot twists and very well written with some really good descriptions of both characters and place. Mackie as the main character is a complex kid with belongingness issues…

Great premise. A modern take on the Moor Child. This book was dark, compelling and well written. I didn't enjoy the profanity.
