This book is hard to put down because of the confusing but very fun puzzles in it that are hard but fun to figure out. I loved trying to do them myself, and guess what the solutions are. The ending is intense!

You may not agree with me, but I think that this is slightly similar to The Hunger Games. It reminded me of that book beacuase you are competing against lots of other kids for a prize that will make your family better.

Waffle Girl 245, I am confused as to why you think this was a bad choice if it is, as you said, a wonderful book.
