Gary Paulsen shows his style of writing in this must read book. I've read books that don't make any sense at all but this one is an awesome book. It is about Mark who gets sent to a different planet by a mysterious blue light. Along the way back to his own time Mark finds out that people aren't the way they seem. Gary Paulsen is a excellent writer when it comes to this. I would recommend this book to readers who are interested in mysteries of the outside world. Any one who reads this book would love it instantly. I've read this book about three times and I still find suprises along the way. The book does have some goar, but it is a book that needs to be read. I've been assigned this book in fifth grade and I still can't stop and take a day to read it. Gary Paulsen just has a way to capture the reader and take them into the book. Honestly, this book is a great pick for a school project or just a reading material. Take my word on it. Read this book!
