Pendragon

 I have started to read a mystery fictional book that is called Pendragon by DJ Machale and although I have not read much and has taken me some time to read through it I have learned to really like it and enjoy the little mystery that is of this young boy ripped away from his normal life in his normal school and taken on an adventure, a mission to save another world and to think that if he had known the real reason he was leaving his house with his uncle on that motorcycle the very first day he might have never been put in that situation but with all that he has seen with all that he has been though being shot at and chased by the strangest animals that would have killed him he has learned to except the strange ways of this other world and accept his role in taking as his uncle continues to tell him that it is his destiny to save the world that is not even his but he must. I am really looking forward to continuing to read and learn more on how exactly he is going forth in trying to save the planet with the help of his uncle. I think I really like this book and would recommend it to others because it is funny yet interesting to see a person with a normal everyday life being turn upside down and start this amazing adventure and experience.

How do they survive? How do they remain in control? How do they stay safe? Light by Michael Grant is the 6th novel in the series called Gone, an action Si-Fi fiction book that describes the lives of multiple people each chapter, each section a different character like snapshot moments of their daily encounters with monsters and each others. Having romance and bloody battles death all over for over a year and now as the first year passes by the dome is now clear no longer is it a solid wall unable to see the outside world now both sides can see through, the outside world begins to learns of there hardships they have endure in the dome and yet so much more they still need to because it is the endgame the final battle is coming and no one knows how it will end out. Will the kids be able to go back into the real world or dye trying? This book is an eye catcher unable to put it down, the drama, the description of gruesome deaths and emotional love is an amazing part along with just the awe of thinking what if I could shoot lazer beams from my hands or be able to use telekinesis. This is a book I recommend to be read at one point it your life.
