This book was 100% full-fledged GREAT!!! I feel very strongly about this topic and think others should too. People may not recognize this, but these events really made a lot of difference in history, and I believe that this book really acknowledges that.

While reading this book it made me think of what I would do if I were ever in a position where I had to run from someone or something to save my life. What would I think and how would I feel? This book really made me wonder.

My favorite part of this book was at the end when all the clues throughout the story came together to make a wonderful book. You understood everything that happened and why.

I truly think that this book deserved a Newberry award. I think this because it is suspenseful, exciting, and scary at the same time. This book really taught me a huge lesson. It taught me how to appreciate things. It also taught me how to never be ungrateful. Knowing this lesson will help me in the future.

I would most definitely recommend this book to kids in grades 5 and up. I would recommend it to people to have a lot of time. I say this, because you will have to pry this book out of your hands to simply put it down. This book was fantastic and I bet you will like it just as much as I do!!
