I had to read a book for a school essay and I randomly chose the book of the shelf the cover was intresting so I decided to read it.this book is so amazing. I don't usually read science-fiction books but I couldn't put it down even on my vacation I read it (i went on vacation during school) and my mom threatened to throw it out anyways I recommend it to all people.

This book is one of the best books I've read. I'm currently 12 years old and I read the book for Language Arts. I have to do a book report on it and I don't know what to put in the report because there's SO MANY things that happen in the book. The book put me in a trance and would not let me put it down! I read it in about 4 hours never stopping. It's trully a great book.

House of The Scorpion
Many authors out there have written great Sci-fi books.But I personally dont have much taste in them,but this book by Nancy Farmer really captured my imagination and threw it outa the ballpark.Has a great (and kinda funny beginning) and a strong ending.
