Book Review 1 - The Roar

Title: The Roar
Author: Emma Clayton

Plot: At the beginning, we learnt that twins Ellie and Mika lived in unique place - the future. They were separated from the plague animals that lived beyond. Ellie had been kidnapped and her family was told that she was dead. However, Mika would not accept the fact that Ellie was dead, he felt that she was still around. He was determined to find go in search of the truth and look for her. Over time, both of them realised that their concrete world was actually built on deception. And they must get out of the web of lies.

Favourite part: My favourite part of the story is at the beginning. It was when Ellie had escaped from Mal Gorman and his kidnappers and was on her way to reuniting with her family. She was controlling a Pod fighter, while the kidnappers were giving chase. She braved dangers with the ultimate goal of wanting to meet her family. I admired her guts and quick-wits.

Why I like this storybook: The reason is very simple. The storyline is very exciting with many twists and turns. It is also very action-packed. It keeps one in suspense, not knowing what to expect next, with dangers looming everywhere.
