 Book Review A Corner If The Universe

__Book Review__

“Where’s Adam, Where’s Adam, I cant find him anywhere!!! I think he ran away!” A day later, “Hattie, the police just found Adam.” My mom whispered. “Don’t tell me, I already know what your going to say. Don’t tell me, I know what he did I know what happened to Adam....” I highly recommend the book A Corner Of The Universe by Ann M. Martin to anyone who wants an addictive page turner. Undoubtedly, it’s a fantastic story about friendship and teaches you lots of meaningful life lessons like, don’t judge a book by it’s cover. This book about Adam’s mental disability makes it necessary to read. I also recommend this book to anybody who wants an emotional read with its very sad climax about what happends to Adam because he knows he is different. Surely, since the carnival is back in town, and Hattie just made a new friend. Leila works at the carnival and can get everything for free. Without a doubt, Hattie goes to the carnival everyday when it is back in town so she can have a wonderful time with her new, close friend Leila. On the day of Hattie’s birthday, Adam and Leila throw her a party at the carnival. Adam wanted to try and ride on the farris wheel and conquer his fear. Hoping to have a fun time. When the ride stops at the top, all else fails and Adam turns into a disaster. One if the main characters, Hattie, is 11 years old, just getting ready to turn 12. Hattie is going into 7th grade in the big middle school and has no friends. Furthermore, Adam is Hattie’s uncle and her best and only friend. Adam is in his mid 20s and suffers from a mental disability. Hattie and Adam do everything together well, everything Nana would approve with. Adam makes this book worth while to read because of his disability. The book takes you through all of his struggles and challenges. In addition,the theme of this book is to never judge a book by it’s cover. This is a very important theme because lots of people judged Adam because of his disabability. The setting in the book is in the year 1943 and takes place in South Hadley, Massachusetts. It mostly follows Hattie and where she goes. Some of the places she usually goes to is to Nana and Papa’s house, the boarding house, and definately the carnival. Thats where Hattie spends most of her time. This book takes you through Hattie’s point of view and Adam’s point of view. This book makes you feel like you are right there beside Adam and Hattie at Fred’s Funtime Carnival. You should really read this book because it teaches you a very important lesson. Furthermore, it’s just an outstanding book overall. That’s why you should really read the book, A Corner Of The Universe by Ann M. Martin.
