Book Reviews of Nation
Book Review: "Nation" by Terry Pratchett is Awsome
Summary: 5 Stars
I am reading this really cool book. The book is called Nation by Terry Pratchett. He is a great writer and he can be serious and funny at the same time.
This book is both historical fiction and fantasy at the same time, which is cool. The historical part is that it happens in the 19th century when England had an empire. The fantasy part is that it happens in this made-up ocean where people live on islands, its kind of like Polynesia but its different.
Anyways this boy who is about 13 is suppose to pass this test to become a man. So he goes out to an island by himself. While he is doing that a big wave comes and wipes out his whole village. When he gets home he buries all the people. Its really sad.
Meanwhile an English girl about the same age, her ship crashed on the island because of the wave, everybody on the ship but her died. So now the boy and the girl are stuck on the island together. At first they can't communicate at all but then they start to. And other people start washing up on the island needing their help. What's cool about this story is how the girl and the boy are so different, but they learn to like each other and become friends.
This is a funny story and it is also serious and sad too. I would give it 5 stars out of 5, the maximum! Everybody should read this, and you don't have to be a kid! Adults will like it too I think.
