The "Rangers" along with a small party of warriors, are sent to free him. But the desert is like nothing else these warriors have faced before. Strangers in the land, they are brutalized by sandstorms, beated by unrelenting heat tricked by a tribe that plays by its own rules, and surprisingly befriended by another. But one thing remains, the way one fights for a friend. I rated this book four stars because of the way it entertains. This is a book easy to read, has action and thrills. I would have gave it five stars if it was shorter, but five stars is not easily earned.I would recommend this to people that like Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, or any other related books. Shelter

By: Jane Smiley 4 Stars Genre: Fiction Hailey 8th Grade True Blue is about a horse who's name is True blue and it all starts with a girl and her family and one day they went to a friend's house and when they met blue he was happy and so they bought him for three dollars. The theme is how the girl and the horse connect to each other in like chapter 3 or 4. My opinion is the book was a four because it was kind of a ghost story at the same time it was a horse story so really had to pay attention to what you are reading and what was happening.
