Mystery

//The Colorado Kid// by Stephen King
===I guess finding a dead body on a beach could be interesting. In //the Colorado Kid,// two teenagers find a body on the beach during their jog one morning. This man, later known as the "Colorado Kid", was unknown because he had no identification on him. Over a span of a couple of years, authorities failed at identifying him and the trail went cold. In the long run, do they finally get to find out who this man really is? You will have to read it and find out. This story is such a page turner; it is hard stopping on one page because i was curious on seeing an important clue on the next. It is full of mystery that is begging to be solved. If you like mysteries, this is your book. I recommend you reading it soon. -Jesse Henning===

They are princesses and prince because their father is the King. The kids had gotten sent to a hidden island with a cook and her son and 3 warriors because the kingdom is at war.

There is too many of the men even though they bring food they run into a lot of conflicts. While all of these people are on this island they really get to know each other, friendships are made and broken, and some find what they really want to do in life. My favorite part in this book is when stories are being told to everybody and the stories are about gods and how life as they know it has been made. If you like a book full of action and suspense, you will love this book. This book i really got into but it kind starts out a little slow. Even though the book starts out slow it doesn’t end that way really good book. -Mitchell Hogan **
