Torn by Margaret Peterson Haddix ~ The Missing Series, Book 4

This scientific fiction is (mainly) about Jonah and Katherine traveling through time to save the history voyage of Henry Hudson, Canada in 1611. Their friends, Andrea, Brendan, Antonio, and JB are trapped in 1600 in Roanoke Island. Well, JB's name is not really JB, but Jonah and Katherine nick named him as that name because he was dressed like a Janitor Boy when they first met him before. JB is a time officer, but his most trusted projectionist (time traveler who predict what will happen in any time, and "project" means "predict" in this case), Second had decided to change the past to make more sense, but that made time mess up as well as the old travelers had. Jonah is an adopted brother of Katherine, he feels responsibility towards his sister, and shows some brave actions throughout the time (Also a missing child from unknown history). Katherine is Jonah's sister who love to time travel and have adventures, but she always shows caring towards her older brother (not adopted). 

When they arrived at Henry Hudson's ship, Jonah had to wear a costume of John Hudson (Henry Hudson,s son). The costume was bulletproof and stab proof, so that made Jonah feel more comforted. He was cheered at finding out that he would only have to pretend to be wild-haired, frostbitten, pockmarked, gap-toothed and disgustingly scarred. Even his voice sounded like John Hudson, because there was voice modification software in the teeth overlays, so even Katherine couldn't believe that Jonah was in there trying to act like John Hudson. As soon as they heard some footsteps, JB had made Katherine turn invisible, so no one can see her except Jonah, because only time travelers are able to see invisible travelers. But the time had gone all wrong, and the tracers had vanished (tracers are ghostly clone that appears when people or some objects are not in the right place, but only time travelers are able to find them, they also shows how original time should work for the characters that are messed up). Now Jonah and Katherine are totally by themselves, without the tracers and JB leading them. 

At the middle of the journey, a mysterious crew named Abacuk Prickett had made Jonah to make difficulty through his actions, but somehow Jonah thought he had met him before, somewhere. The history they remember is drastically different from what they're experiencing. Jonah and Katherine struggle to unravel the mysteries of 1611 and the Hudson Passage before their only future they've ever known is lost forever. This book changed my way of thinking about the Hudson Passage, and the harshness of the struggle to survive the frozen seas and brutal conditions aboard the ship. This book might explain a little about the possibilities of time traveling, and how dangerous it might be. But it will be a great book to learn some histories while enjoying the struggles and the adventures that flows throughout the story. This book is enjoyable, even though you might have not read the first three series yet, but it could be good for someone who couldn't focus in social studies class! If you want to know what will happen to their future, and how Jonah and Katherine will solve through travels of struggles and the mystery of Abacuk Prickett, as well as the mystery of the Hudson Passage, try to find out with your cleverness of reading!

The genre of this book is Fantasy because animals are talking to each other and I’m positive that animals don’t talk.

The Empty City is about Lucky who went through a lot pain and suffering after a big storm that destroyed the pound. Since Lucky was alone, he tries to find his own path for survival. He realizes that no humans are around. Houses are empty and lights were out. To me, it sounds like a ghost town! He then ran into a pack of dogs and saw one dog that looked familiar (not going to say who or how Lucky recognizes that one dog). He then chose to go with them because the pack didn’t know how to do some survival skills and the pack wanted Lucky to teach them. On the way they run into some new friends and also danger but they can handle what’s coming to them. So they go on with their adventure for survival. I learned in this book that survival is hard on you in the world. I recommend this book to anyone who likes adventure and action. Also to anyone who likes Erin Hunter’s other books, this is another outstanding job!

This is a really great and unique book. The story is surely one you’ll never forget. There were eight people invited to an island and two people were the workers. They were all asked to come by an unknown person, Mr.Owen. They thought that he and his wife were rich because it was told that a millionaire bought the island and made the mansion. Unfortunately they were wrong and they were wrong about his plans too. In each bedroom there is a children’s nursery rhyme. What the guests didn’t know is that one by one they would be killed guided by the nursery rhyme. All they know is the murderer is one of them. Stuck on island with no way out, they are doomed to face their fate. Sadly they won’t ever know who was the person that had killed them all. One main reason why I enjoyed this book is because Agatha Christie doesn’t tell you who the murderer was. You’ll need to be smart enough to figure it out yourself.
