Book review 4
I have just finished reading a book "Messenger" by Lois Lowry. It is about a boy named Matty, whom an old man took care of, who helps people send messages through Forest in Village. People do not dare to go through Forest themselves as it had killed many people in the past. All the people in Village had a certain skill like Matty but he did not know his skill yet. He wanted his true name to be Messenger. Much later, there was Trade Mart where people would trade their own things for other things. However, after this Trade Mart, everyone started acting strangely and Forest became more wild. All those who were nice in the past became selfish after Trade Mart. They even decided to close the gate in Forest to prevent other people from coming into Village. The old man who took care of Matty when he was in Village wanted Matty to bring his daughter Kira, who helped Matty escape to Village, to Village so that he could live with her. In the end, Matty heals Forest from becoming wild and Kira's comma which she got along the way and manages to bring Kira back home safely.
