The 13th Reality: the Journal of Curious Letters By: James Dashner

The 13th Reality: the Journal of Curious Letters is a fantastic fantasy book by James Dashner. This book is about a group of friends and how they learn to help each other. It is a great mystery and fantasy book.

In this book, Atticus "Tick" Higginbottom receives 13 mysterious letters. The first letter explains to him that the following 12 letters will be clues. If decides to not solve the clues, he needs to burn the letter in order to not receive any more clues.

Now, Tick is a very curious teenage boy. He wants to receive and solve the clues. When he receives the first clue, he slowly begins to solve the clues. The clues tell him that on a specific night at a specific time, he needs to do a very important routine in a graveyard. One day when Tick was on the internet, he decided to ask if anyone else were receiving these clues. Two people respond. These two teenagers become some of Tick's best friends. The kids work together to solve the clues.

While solving these clues, Tick meets some very unique people and learns about different versions of the world we know. These different worlds are called realities. There are 13 realities.

After following the clues instructions, Tick gets to travel to one of the different realities. When he gets there, he is asked to take on a bigger quest. While on this quest, he learns about a very important talent he has to use the conquer the enemy. Tick then returns to our reality. This is the first book in the series so don't think nothing goes on. This book is just leading up to the second and third books.

I really enjoyed this book. I think it is an interesting, entertaining, and memorable book. It was like a brainteaser in a book. My brain was trying to solve the clues before Tick did. It was interesting to read about all of the unique realities that James Dashner created. I was laughing at some of the things he created for each reality.

This book is a very clean read. There is nothing inappropriate in this story. In this book, the three main characters tease each other a lot but nothing said is inappropriate or cruel. This shows that good friendships do sometimes need a little bit of sarcastic teasing.

In this book, the author teaches that sometimes we need friends to get through some hard things or trials. I agree with this. However, the author has Tick create friends through the internet. I like the idea but he makes it sound like everything is safe to say and do on the internet. I do not agree with this. I think it is not sfe to trust everyone on the internet and automatically be friends with them. He also makes it sound like making friends is simple if you find one thing in common. I think that a friendship should slowly be built over time. It shouldn't be rushed into.

I really liked this book. I could not get my nose out of it. I think any fantasy lover would love it too. If you loved The Maze Runner, you probably would like this too. They were written by the same person and in the same style. I would rate this book an A+.
