Matthew

This is the best book I have read! I read chapters and could not put the book down for hours! I recommend people to read it because not only is it exciting but you learn a lot about the characters and of words you have probably never heard of in the English dictionary. I rate this book 5 out of 5. I wish I could rate this book way higher than five! Nancy Farmer is a very good and exciting author. I am glad I read and bought this book!!!

I am fourteen and this book was a good book to read. I had to read this book for school, and I usually do not enjoy reading, but this book changed all that. The book was a mind challenging and made me think when I was reading it. I think all teenagers who like to read should read this book. Also, the people that do not like to read should read it too becasue I think they will enjoy this book as well. Everyone should own a copy and read it as fast as possible.
