To start off the book __The Roar__  by Emma Clayton is one of the best books that I ever read in my life. First off this book likes to pull you into a lot of action right away which makes you wander what is going on and encourages you to read on. Second the story switches back and forth between two main characters which makes you want to be able to see what happens with each character. Last this book has a amazing background story that also help with the storyline and to help keep it interesting.

In this book you follow the perspective of Mika who is a ordinary boy. Mika’s sister, Ellie, recently was pronounced dead by drowning in the Thames River but Mika does not believe that she died. He believers that she was kidnapped by men in the night while she was walking home from school. With all that is happening with his life he doesn’t understand how nightmares that he is having are suddenly coming out of his dreams and walking right into his school. Then suddenly a new game comes out in the arcades that is drawing all of the kids into the arcade. Then Mika believes that he will be able to find his sister by winning competition based on the new game.

The main character is Mika who always tries as hard as he can to do what is needed. He makes the book fun to read because of his attitude towards everything in the book. I like Mika in this book because of his attitude and deposition to the problems he is given to fix. The second main character is Ellie, Mika’s sister, who was recently kidnapped. In the story Ellie is always sure of everything she does and never has to second guess her self. She really helps to make this story a good story by the way she always argues with the main bad guy.

One thing that makes this book unique is how much the background story adds to the book. With the story being that animals got a horrible disease and started infecting humans and then them being killed in the end. This story gives the people on the other side of the wall the fear that if they go over the wall they will be killed. Since every one move to the other side of the wall only the richest people get to see the sun and moon every day. Because of most people not having the sun and being forced to eat mold grown on the walls in a factory. That is how the background of the story helps to make it unique and fun to read.

First the book has a lot of action in the beginning to make it a good book. Second the book switches between the two main characters which kind of gives you two stories that lead into one. Last the amazing background to this story helps to keep it interesting and gives the characters a goal to try to reach.
