What makes this book good?

Well I think that the humor in this book makes it more interesting and it tells you what the people in that country are experiencing. This is also a good book because it is based on what people have to do to get out of the war and how dangerous it could be to try and run away from the war.

What would make this book better?

This book could have more action and adventure and they should try to make this book a bit longer because it is only 180 pages long. They could have told you more about the family when they got to Christmas Island and tell you if they ever get into Australia. But that is all I would change because I think it is a good and enjoyable book to read because it tells you about the war in that country

What’s the most important thing the author is trying to tell you?

The author is trying to tell you that you are very lucky to be in Australia because those people live in fear all the time. He also wants us to know that we are very lucky to get a good education and you should be very grateful of what you have right now because other people are less fortunate then the people in the war.

Why did the author write this book?

He wrote this so we feel sorry for the people and realize that we are really lucky to be hear in Australia. He also wrote this to tell us all the terrible things that people go through to escape the war. He also wants to tell you why people would go through all this because this does happen in real life and you should be very happy with what you have.

What does the audience need to know to understand and enjoy the book?

The audience would need to understand what other families have gone through at that time of war. You would also have to understand the humour in the book and that’s all I think you would need to know to understand and enjoy this book.

Where does the story take place?

This story takes place in a fictional place could Panem and it is separated into 12 districts and the Capital. The Capital rules all of the 12 districts.

What Surprised you?

The thing that surprised me was that the book I am reading is based in the future but it is weird because the Capital rules all of the 12 districts and the Capital gets a female and male from all the districts and make them fight to the death. I don’t see how the world would end up like that.

Are there any powerful characters? what makes them that way?

There is one powerful character and he rules everything. The thing that makes him powerful is that he makes the rules for everything and if someone brock one of those rules they would be punished or even killed.
