The Roar

I started reading a new book called The Roar. I picked just because the title and blurb looked convincing, but I realized I made a very good choice. The book is a sci-fi, which is my favorite genre. The book is about a boy named Mika who lives behind the wall, like everyone else living on Earth does. The wall surrounds some of Europe and Asia, because of the animal plague, which caused all animals to try to kill humans, but then they built a wall to keep any animal away.
   I feel bad for Mika because most people don't understand him. His sister, Ellie, died a year ago. Or at least, that's what everyone thinks. Mika is the only one who thinks she's alive, and he's actually right. But a lot of people think he's just crazy, and just can't get over the fact that she's dead. But she actually was kidnapped by this very powerful organization that keeps her and some other kids in space. The reason they're abducting them was still not revealed, but it is for the company's benefit, they're training the kids. And when the organization uses new tactics to get the kids really fit and skillful with the fit mix and the flight simulator before they abduct them is actually bringing Mika closer to Ellie, but further from his parents, which is why it's kind of a sad book.
