Can you solve the mystery?
James Dashner's first story in his new THE 13TH REALITY series, THE JOURNAL OF CURIOUS LETTERS,
revolves mainly around a young boy named Atticus (or "Tick" as he likes to be called).
Tick's adventure begins when he arrives home to find a cryptic letter giving him riddles on something that is supposedly
going to save the lives of people around him. Intrigued, he begins his investigation, and, gaining a few friends along the
way, tries to dismantle the riddles given to him in a series of thirteen letters.
With quirky characters and an engaging, humorous plot, Mr. Dashner also manages to include a little about Quantum
physics that will hopefully cause the reader to question further.
The best thing about the book is that although it is magic, it incorporates reality effectively, which makes it more
believable. Which, in turn, makes it easier to lose yourself within the story.
