Fantasy

Plot:

  This book is about a young girl named Alexa Daley who is trapped within the walls of Lathbury. On her annual summer trip to Bridewell, another wall-enclosed city, she finds unimaginable adventure. She actually leaves the walls of the city and discovers secrets of the land beyond the walls and learns the truth of a story her father once told her about convicts roaming the outer lands.

good:

I really enjoyed this book, because it had interesting characters, for one thing. These characters' jobs, personalities, and names are all unique. There is also an unexpected twist in the end, (which I won't spoil for you), which makes the story very interesting. Finally, I also enjoy this book because it incorporates animals, which I love, and actually have them talk to Alexa, which would be so awesome!

weaknesses:

Although I really enjoyed this book, there were a couple of defects within the text. For one thing, this book was fairly short, and I like books that can keep me busy for a while. I also don't like this book because there are a few gross things such as bleeding wounds in this book, but hey, what can you do? However, overall, I really enjoyed this book.
