The book that I'm almost finished with is The Boy who couldn’t
die by William Sleator.
This book is about a
16 year old boy whose best friend dies in a plane crash. He is scared that
something like that might happen to him. He goes o some voodoo lady named Cheri
Buttercup. She says that she can hide his soul far away, and make him immortal.
He accepts. He wants to test if it works, and he goes diving in the Caribbean
on an island called St. Callao. He chose this island because it had a recent
shark attack. But the 1st night after he'd become immortal, he had a
weird dream, and When He woke up he was screaming the name "Dunwich!"
He was surprised.
When went
diving at the island, he found a shark, and it bite his leg, but his leg was
like iron. The shark's teeth didn't even leave a mark! But the only issue was
that one the diving instructors, a girl named Sabine who was about his age, saw
the entire thing. He told what had happened and she told him that the people on
this island practice the same thing that Cheri Buttercup did. She told him that
the most recent dreams that he had, he also had one on the island and he was whispering
the words "the lake, the lake", could be clues to where his soul was
hidden. She had a point.
He began
to get more clues, and he wrote them down so he could e-mail Sabine what had
happened. He got more and more clues.
This book is really a
fantasy, and it's one of the best books that I've read this year. If I were a
book critic, I' de rate this book a 4/5.
