The 13th Reality: The Journal of the Curious Letters

This book (written by James Dashner)  follows Atticus Higginbottom (Tick) as he receives letters from someone named M.G. The letters are all clues to a time, place, and action he must perform to save the world or at least a lot of people. The book is broken into four parts: the introdution chapters, the letters, solving the clues, and Ticks mission. It's a good book because you're completely in the dark about the letters, but it doesn't get boring. There are a lot of other things that Tick goes through while he's figuring the clues out or waiting for the next clue. I'd give this book to anyone over ten years old. Younger kids might not have the patience; it's a long book.

Favorite Quote: "Next came pajama time. Tick had brought a pair of flannel pants and a t-shirt to sleep in, but that wasn't good enough for Aunt Mabel. She wen to the basement and dug through some boxes before returning with a musty old pair of long johns that were as red as her lipstick and looked like Santa's underwear."
