Review by London Ellis
The title of my book is Messenger. The author name is Lois Lowry, and the year it was published was 2004. The publisher is Laurel Leaf. The book messenger is about a boy named Matty who figured out that the only way to save his village from closing is through his secret power.
The characters in my book are Matty, Seer, Leader, Jean, Kira, and Frolic, and the setting is in the future in the forest and the villages where everyone lives.The conflict is that bad trades are making the forest evil, and people are turning on other people.The rising action is when Matty starts to see changes, then on his next trip the forest tries to kill him and Kira.Then the climax is when leader comes to save them.An example of foreshadowing is when leader tells Matty to not use his power. An example of suspense is when Matty is at Kira’s house and he can’t ask if she can come with him. I thought the plot was fair not the best of any book I’ve read but still very good because it has new twists and turns at every chapter.
Matty is the main character of the book and is almost fearless, he has a strong crush on Jean who he got his companion dog Frolic from, Frolic is with him all the time. Seer is the blind man who live with Matty and is like a teacher to him. Kira is a woman that has lived far from her father for long time and is going to try to move to Village even though she has a crippled leg. Finally Leader is a man who like Kira and Matty has a power he can use and he is tough, smart, and can get out of any situation. These facts are what make all of the characters interesting.
I think that the theme is that life can be hard at times but there is always a way though.I believe so as no one can live an all the way through life perfectly.It was a very mixed bag.I think if someone likes to read then this book would be extraordinary as it covers everything needed in a marvelous book.
