I heard that the Book Scavenger was a great book because a lot of people read it last year.I decided that I should read it because it sounded interesting and people said it was kind of like Mr. Lemoncello's Library. While reading Book Scavenger, I found that it was really suspenseful. I really liked reading this book for my summer project.

When one of Theodore´s friends gets kidnapped, he decides to investigate. They look everywhere, trying to find something that will tell them where she is. With no signs of where she disappeared to, they give up. Well that is until a body turns in the river and no one knows who it.

The first time I heard about it was at the library in seventh grade when Ms. Prettol was giving us some book suggestions. It was dystopian fiction, so I thought I'd give it try.

It was really cool being that we got to see the perspective of what someone had to live through, and how unfair life was. From loosing things like food, to getting separated from his family, Elie Wiesel had to deal with tons of hardships through the duration of his time at the concentration camps.
