Book Recommendation- Found

       I have recently finished the book Found by Margaret Peterson Haddix, which is the first book in The Missing Series. Overall I think it was a really good book, coming from a person that honestly is not the biggest fan of reading. Some of the most important aspects of a story were present in this book, which made it such a success. These aspects include the theme, characterization, setting, and imagery.

       One of these aspects was theme. The theme of the story is to always attack your fears. This theme was fully developed throughout the story by the author, as she brought up many examples of how Jonah, Chip, Angela and Katherine attacked their fears. When Jonah and Chip found out they were adopted, they didn't hide from the fact, but instead tried to do research to learn about their background. They met up with specific people to see if they anything about them.

       The characterization in the story was also good because the author did a good job of describing their appearance and feelings in the beginning, and then how they changed. In the beginning Jonah and Chip were a little embarrassed that they were adopted, but were able to pick up on the fact that they are different and that is all right. The setting is one of the most important parts of the book because of the influence it has on Jonah, Chip and all of the characters. When the setting gives them new information they haven't heard before, they use that to help solve the problem and find out why they were receiving letters.

      
       I would definitely recommend this book for others to read because it really keeps you on the edge of your seat by the way the chapters end. The chapters leave you wondering about what will happen because they end of all sudden after the character's find out big and important news. The book doesn't seem like it would have a lot of action, but it actually does with all of the plot twists. Jonah and Chip go to crazy places and are even pulled into the idea of people time traveling. They try to experience this for themselves.

       When reading this book you are actually on the edge of your seat because you want to keep flipping the pages, and the suspense gets to you. I will not tell you anymore, because you need to read the rest of the book for yourself. When you finish reading, the next book in the series is Sent, which I definitely will pick up. I'd rate this book a 4 out of 5 stars!
