I knew this would kill me but I went for it anyway. Why oh why do I do this to myself? Well.. it was SO worth it. The Mark of the Plague by Kevin Sands was wonderful. It had everything you need in a book, humor, action, and mystery. It’s about Christopher, an apothecary-in-progress, who is his own master. He is now in the middle of the ‘plague-age.’ He has to, now, use clues and hints left by his old master to figure out the cure for the plague, with a few obstacles on the way. This book was a definite yes for me. And I say this once again, Kevin Sands’ writing is P.E.R.F.E.C.T.I.O.N The entire plot, characters, and setting complement each other SO PERFECTLY. *Characters* Christopher was the absolute best. He is so smart and funny that you got to love him. He is such a caring and clever character that rarely makes it in Middle-grade novels. Tom was one of those ‘side-kick’ characters that aren’t really ‘side-kicks.’ The very fact that Tom is technically a side-kick doesn’t get acknowledged in the novel. Christopher, who is the main character, doesn’t treat Tom like just a person that wants to help. No. He treats Tom like his equal. Like a true friend. And that is beautiful. The friendship in this book is just..beautiful This book, This series, Kevin Sands, Are the ABSOLUTE best! So thank you for making me satisfied with such great writing and therefore killing me. Five stars from me!

This book is very entertaining for young readers like me and I think you should all try it out! Thank you for reading!

It all started with a quiet end-of-the-year field trip to Carlsbad Caverns. Not everyone was awake. Some wanted to go to Arizona instead. The trip took an terrifying twist when an earthquake hit the caverns, plunging the kids into unfamiliar territory, minus adults. Some kids are freaking out. Others are stepping up. No one really knows where to go. Meanwhile, Carlos, the 4th Midnight King, is shaken as well. He has just shown mercy to a trespassing Worm, and now the Mother has punished him for it. His father's shadow is looming over him, and he desires to escape it. He finally decides to go out into the underground forest to beg forgiveness from the Mother, and meets someone who will change him, his country, and their way of life.

The book that I have read is mountain dog and in that book Tony the main character was fostered by his uncle who lived in the Sierra Nevada mountains his uncle had a search and rescue dog. This book is about tony overcoming his old life and the trouble he faces adapting to his new lifestyle. The new friends he makes and the trouble he faces. In my opinion this book is a 4/5 star book because it is a mix of exciting and sad which makes exciting cliffhangers. It is also a great book because the author describes the setting in such detail as if you are standing next to the character. This book is realistic fiction because it takes place in present day and could really happen. I would suggest this book to a variety of audiences because they could suit a person who likes dogs or a person who likes the outdoors. An internal conflict happened when Tony would think of his old life. And an internal conflict would happen when he was lost in the woods.
