Review: Across the Universe

Hey Everyone!

I haven't been here for a while! After 3 weeks at camp with no computer, i've had a lot of time to read! I read a ton of books, but I think I'll review one i read called "Across the Universe." It doesn't have anything to do with the Beatles musical or anything, don't worry/get excited. But it's an amazing book! If you remember, we all got books from Candlewick press to read before they came out, and one of them was "A Long Long Sleep" (which should have just come out, so now you can read it!). This is a lot like that book. It's basically a girl who gets frozen alive and loaded onto a spaceship with her family so they can wake up 300 years later, when they get to an earth-like planet, and live there. But she gets woken up early, and the civilization formed by the people on the ship is filled with lies and secrets. It's very good, but it's for slightly older people (teens, not preteens) because of certain things in the plot, and the beginning is a little slow. All i have to say is keep reading, because it gets so much better AND it grabs you and pulls you in after a while. Happy Reading!
