A World Below

A World Below

By Wesley King

It all started with a quiet end-of-the-year field trip to Carlsbad Caverns. Not everyone was awake. Some wanted to go to Arizona instead. The trip took an terrifying twist when an earthquake hit the caverns, plunging the kids into unfamiliar territory, minus adults. Some kids are freaking out. Others are stepping up. No one really knows where to go. Meanwhile, Carlos, the 4th Midnight King, is shaken as well. He has just shown mercy to a trespassing Worm, and now the Mother has punished him for it. His father's shadow is looming over him, and he desires to escape it. He finally decides to go out into the underground forest to beg forgiveness from the Mother, and meets someone who will change him, his country, and their way of life. This fascinating book by Wesley King, Edgar Award Winner, shows us how kids really behave and interact when it matters. Find this Junior Library Guild at your local library or e-library.

Mountain Dog

Mountain Dog

By Margarita Engle

The book that I have read is mountain dog and in that book Tony the main character was fostered by his uncle who lived in the Sierra Nevada mountains his uncle had a search and rescue dog. This book is about tony overcoming his old life and the trouble he faces adapting to his new lifestyle. The new friends he makes and the trouble he faces. In my opinion this book is a 4/5 star book because it is a mix of exciting and sad which makes exciting cliffhangers. It is also a great book because the author describes the setting in such detail as if you are standing next to the character. This book is realistic fiction because it takes place in present day and could really happen. I would suggest this book to a variety of audiences because they could suit a person who likes dogs or a person who likes the outdoors. An internal conflict happened when Tony would think of his old life. And an internal conflict would happen when he was lost in the woods.
