Review By John Chon, grade 9<\/span><\/p>\n

The Roar<\/em> by Emma Clayton<\/h2>\n

Summary: In the book, <\/span>The Roar<\/span><\/i>, people live in a dystopian world, where they live inside of walls to stay away from radioactive dust. The entire planet was destroyed because people were trying to kill savage animals. The story follows a young boy, Mika, who grows up dealing with the fact that his sister, Ellie, mysteriously disappeared when he was younger. She was actually kidnapped and is being experimented on by a leader of the government who wants more children for a project. Mika enters a competition that could lead to him finding his sister, but will he succeed? And at what cost?<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

This book had an unexpected ending. It often left me screaming at the main character because he was about to fall into a trap, which is a good thing because it shows that I actually felt for and liked the main character. The book was set up in such a way that it had two great points of view into one story; Mika and his sister. It sometimes had loose ends. This often lead to confusion on what was happening. 4 stars<\/span><\/p>\n
