The book The Terrorist
is a great fun reading action packed book. It takes place in London. This book is
about a boy named James who is always happy. Every morning the James run with his
friends through the the subway to school. Then one day his friends left him in the
dust so he said "o-well I'll just walk", so he did. A man gave the James a package,and the
boy remembered about the tarriest warnings, so he thought it was a bomb. Instead
of angering the people around him he held on to it and the package the man gave him
did in fact blow up. He is now dead. Very soon after his sister and mother found out they
had so many mixed feelings. Soon the accident was on the headlines and on TV. Laura,
James sister wanted to find the tarriest. Her friend volunteered to help the search.
The news papers said, that the tarriest was prosily on the East side. They took James
passport and made Laura friend look like James so they can go out of the country.
When they arrived at the airport the inspector said, ok you can go. When they were
on the plane Laura friend was acting strange. And to make a long story short the terrest was
Lauras so called friend.
I picked this book because it was action packed and a definite read. My favorite part
was when James risked his own life to save the people around him and specially the
tiny baby right near him. If you want a very good read you should go to your local
library and pick up the terrest. I assure you that you will not want to put it down.
If I had to give it a rate from 1-10 I would give it a 10.
