The Maze Runner (Maze Runner, Book One)
By James Dashner
"This is the last one" they said when they sent up the first girl to ever be in the maze. Will they make it out???? The book that I recently read is called The Maze Runner by James Dashner. It is the first book in a series and was published in 2009. The book is written for a young adult audience and contains dystopian and science fiction elements. The book was super intense book with a lot of action and challenges to escape the deadly maze. Overall, I rate this book a 9 1/2 out of 10. In the book, The Maze Runner, the glade known as the middle of the maze is run by 2 of the main characters, Ably the leader and Newt the second person in charge. One day, a boy named Thomas was sent up into the maze not remembering anything at all, except for his name. Thomas was just a boy, but he was different than all the other boys in the maze. He was smarter he remembered things that they didn't. Thomas was also a good leader to the group. Since Thomas was super athletic and brave, he became one of the maze runners. A few days after Thomas' arrival into the maze, a girl named Teresa came to the maze, and she was the first girl ever there. She arrived with a note stating this is the last one. After a couple of days running the maze, Thomas noticed a pattern with the changes in the maze. Also, he thought he might have found a possible way to use this pattern to get out of the maze. In the book, one of my favorite parts was the layout of the maze. Most of the glade was a flat open field and a small portion of it was a forest. In the maze, there were scary obstacles and tough deadly things like traps that could kill people as well as the grievers. Another one of my favorite parts was when the doors were about to close one night. Thomas ran through and had to survive the entire night in the maze. This was really action packed and kept me interested. The novel reminded me of the movie the Hunger Games, because they had to survive a tough world and many different things could kill them. For example, a scientist in the book who controls the maze tries to attack the children in the maze. This is similar to when they shot fireballs at the main character Katniss and tried to hurt her in the hunger games. In addition, in the Maze Runner, the scientist intentionally left the doors open. He was trying to hurt the people of the maze by a letting in the Grievers. So, the book and movie both had some of the same elements. I have read other books like this and this was defiantly one of my favorite books out of all of them. I highly recommend this book to people who read the book the Hunger Games or divergent and if you like books that are dystopian.
Because Of Winn-Dixie
By Kate DiCamillo
I thought this book was good but not usually the type of book I would read. It has good storytelling but doesn't have a lot of action scenes. When I was reading it I felt bored sometimes because nothing excited was happening in that part. I liked this book because it always had questions running wild in my head. It is a book about a girl named Opal that just moved to a new town with her father. She feels very alone because she has no friends and her father is spending to much time on his job and not enough on her. Then she encounters a dog named Winn-Dixie and he changes her life. One of the things I most disliked about this book is I felt it took too long to get the climax and that the climax was really the only part with a lot of action and was exciting. The book itself is more intriguing than excited. One of the things I liked most about the book was how it always made me guess if something were to happen next or what was happing with a character that made him/her the way they are. I also liked how they kept teasing the return of a certain character and the result of the tease. All things considered, I would say the good thing outweighs the bad and it wasn't perfect so I think a 4-star rating if fair.
Emily Windsnap and the Monster from the Deep
By Liz Kessler
In this adventure, there is adventure ( I had to restate that didn't I? XD), excitement, etc.! Emily moves to a beautiful island in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle, where mer and humans that are in love stay. Emily and Shona wander around the waters, and wander into a cave filled with jewels. They take a jewel out of the wall and find a small cave entrance. At the end, they find a boulder, they push and push, eventually the boulder falls into an opening. Everything starts shaking, and they run! A hairy, blood red, giant tentacle touches Emily. They Have Released The Kraken! The kraken knocks a boat Mandy is on, and they are trapped on an island. When Emily carelessly is flicking her tail, Mandy's dad catches her in a net and pulls her to the island. When Emily and Mandy's eyes meet, it is shocking! Emily, Shona, and Mandy "defeat" the Kraken, and Mandy gets memory drugged and she forgets they were friends! I would HIGHLY recommend this book for everyone! The higher the books in this series you get, the more advanced the words get, but keep reading the story! I hope you enjoy the book as much as I did and feel the same way about the Emily Windsnap Series!!!!!!!!😃😃☺️☺️❤️🐚🐙
