Prodigy: A Legend Novel

Prodigy: A Legend Novel

By Marie Lu

George

Prodigy is a fast paced, action packed and suspenseful sequel to the first book in its series, Legend. This book takes place in a strict dystopian society, making it science fiction. Marie Lu(The author)creates this book with an interesting plot with a lot of twists to it. I would definitely recommend this book to kids 12 and above. So what makes this book so good? Read on to find out. Prodigy maintains a fast pace and compelling example of life in a strict dystopian society, as in Legend, while continuing to portray a believable love story between the Republic of America’s most wanted and their star military trainee. Yet not once does this romance get in the way of a fascinating story. It’s not always clear how June and Day truly feel towards each other, torn between trusting what they grew up believing and what surrounds them now. Day questions whether June really is a dependable person despite coming from a privileged background of great wealth, while Day grew up on the streets, and June questions where her devotion lay, in protecting the Elector Primo or demolishing the system? It would be easy to write a story in which both characters transform into two people with converging beliefs, but Marie Lu shows us that our background is not so easy to escape from. It’s anything but an easy ride for these two dedicated teenagers. Marie Lu takes us through an unpredictable series of events that show that a repressive society is not always black and white, that those who at first seem evil, or honorable and good, may surprise you. I first read Legend two months ago and I was worried that I would no longer be able to follow the storyline, but flashbacks are seamlessly added, meaning that I was able to jump right back in without any trouble. Prodigy is similar to many other dystopian books. For example in the Hunger Games, there is also a romance story and the society killing innocent people. But in Prodigy there are so many more plot twists and interesting changes to how you thought the book was going to be. Prodigy in my opinion stands out from other dystopian books out there. Marie Lu has many other books including the next book in this series, Champion, and other dystopian novels such as The Young Elites. Before she started working on books, she was a video game designer for disney. I think Marie Lu is a great writer and this series so far has been great. I have another book review on Legend, the first book in the series. So if you are a teenager, or around that age that likes dystopian/Sci-fi books, you’ll love this bestselling book, Prodigy.

Elephant Secret

Elephant Secret

By Eric Walters

Plz_Follow_Me

I TOTALLY recommend this book to you! :) This is a wonderful book if you like mystery, and adventure. Here is about the book: Samantha (Sam) lives at the elephant sanctuary her dad runs and views the elephants there as much a part of her family as her single dad is. When a beloved elephant dies in childbirth, Sam develops a special connection with the baby, named Woolly because she has an unusual amount of hair. It soon becomes apparent that Woolly is . . . different. Woolly's mother was part of a special breeding project, and Woolly's DNA is not elephant but that of a rare specimen -- a woolly mammoth -- procured by the eccentric billionaire genius who runs the program. He will stop at nothing to protect Woolly, his multimillion-dollar investment, even it means turning Sam and her dad's world upside-down. An astonishing fact-based look at elephant behaviour and an endearing girl-elephant friendship. This book is about 352 pages long, and full of goodness and adventure! It's a heartwarming story. Please read it!

I am reading this as we speak it is a wonderful book and was very well written I had just purchased at the library this morning but I will say because Stevenson is from the united kingdom it was a bit hard to understand with hints of an Irish vocabulary
