Book 3 Project

I was very surprised how in the book the author came up with an altered dimension called the Shadowland where zombies and dead souls live. Whit, who is one of the main characters is always trying to go the Shadowland. Before Whit had to run from home because the government took everything over he had a girlfriend name Celia. Celia was murdered by the government and now lives in the Shadowland. She is considered a Half-Light. She has all her features and memory but she is a ghost and she can't come to the real world. Whit is still deeply in love with Celia and can't get her out of his mind. The Shadowland has zombies that hunt for any humans that ever try to visit the Shadowland. Whit fell for Celia hard and when he found out she was dead he was crushed. In the book the villain is named The One Who Is The One. He is a powerful wizard who has the abilities to control almost everything he wants. The One doesn't mind to prove his terror. In the book he beheads kids in public to make his point no revolution will ever happen. Whit and his sister Whisty have other plans. Along with hundreds of other kids they live in a deserted mall. With almost all the adults brainwashed the kids have to figure how to out smart adults. One of the ways they did this in the book is when they would got to the jails and act like they were prisoners but they would take the guards out and free all the in prisoned kids. I thought this was a very good idea because the government ever expected the kids to come to the jails. Throughout the book Whit and Whisty learn they are wizards. This is a huge help for them in defeating the government. Whisty is able to turn people into any kind of animal she wants. One such time when they are escaping from a prison break she turns into a bird and flies away. I thought the author added magic into the book to make the book more kid friendly. If the author would of made the book without any magic factor the book would of been better. Adding a magic to any book instantly makes it less realistic and personally I think it makes it more childish. This book would of been a great book without magic. The whole storyline fit together well magic ruined the book.
