Fever Crumb

The book that I read for my book review is called Fever Crumb by Phillip Reeve. Mr. Reeve did an excellent job in this book with making it fast-paced and exciting. This book was hard to put down and some nights I would be able to read it forever if I didn't get tired.

Fever Crumb is about a girl named Fever Crumb, who lives in London in the future. She was apprentice of an engineer that had adopted her. She never knew much about her parents and would have never believed that her dad was a Scriven leader. Scriven once was a race that had ruled London until they where overtaken by a violent defianace. One day she was approached by an archeologist named Kit Solent asking her to come on a top secret exploration. She abandoned her aspirations of becoming an engineer and left with Kit to embark on what will be a life-threatening adventure. Right when she got to the city that the exploration was taking place, she had to hide because a brutal Scriven killer was on the hunt for her named Bagman Creech . She then finds out about her parents and also that she was saved as a baby from death but left with her dad's memories. Kit tells Fever about "The Movement" which are groups of Scriven that had survived and who are planning to take over London once again and then they decided that that's where Fever has to go to survive. On the way, Kit dies but Fever makes it and finds out that her parents are still alive. You will have to read it to find out if the Scriven take over London or if they are once again defeated.

This was a good book and I would grade an A because of the action and amazing story line.
