Roar

By: Emma Clayton

//Roar// is a book based in a science fiction world on Earth in the future. The book begins with on of the main characters, Allie, attempting to escape from a corrupt government leader who has kidnapped her. She is racing back to Earth from her captor’s space station in a pod-fighter. Her captor is aware of her escape. After a long, action-packed chase, she is finally shot down and recaptured.

After Allie’s recapture, the scene shifts to her brother, Mika, and her parents. Mika is the only one who believes that Allie is alive, while the government has told his family that she drowned in a river after falling from a bridge. When Allie’s pod-fighter is shot down, Mika is affected, going into a choking fit and losing consciousness. After recovering, Mika’s life returns to normal and his parents are told that his incident was mental.

My favorite part of this book was the ending. Secrets are revealed, armies raised, and Mika reunited with Allie. The book ends with a secret meeting between Mika and a government official, and all the recent events are explained. It reveals an upcoming war that Mika must work against the government to stop.

I would recommend this book to all fans of thrillers, mysteries, and science fiction. This book was full of suspense, action, and mystery. It all amounted to a thrilling, cant-put-it-down read. This was one of mu top three favorite reads, and I will surely read its sequel, //The Whisper.//  //By: Jacob C.//
