I really enjoyed this book and love how Lois Lowry tells stories. Lois Lowry really sucks you into the story and transports you into the world that she is trying to portray. You really get to know the characters and feel like you are on an emotional rollercoaster. I really enjoy how this book is somewhat fantastical because of the fact that people have powers, but these books show us how things work in the real world.

Lois Lowry has done it again!

I would recommend this book for all adults and children 13+

Happy Reading!
