The Maze- an INCREDIBLE book!

The Maze is one of the best books I have ever read. It's about this girl Andrea aged 15 who is bullied by a group called The Six.Crystal and Sabrina are the leaders of this group. She is new to Abbotsville High and has not a very good life at home or at school. Her mother doesn't live with them and her Dad will not let Andrea keep correspondence. Her Dad is very quiet and kind of sad. He makes Andrea do all kinds of chores and she always listens.He also makes her wear clothes that are very unfashionable when the have the money to buy nice ones. But then she walks into a shop to hide from The Six. The shop has amulets and things. The lady who works at the shop gives her this box with a maze and a little stone in the middle to help her in some way. A few days later Sabrina and Crystal get sucked into the maze and Andrea has to go ans save them but Crystal's anger is making it harder for Andrea to save her. This is a very interesting read that I enjoyed every word of. It has amazing twists and turns that you will not want to put down. The ending awesome too.I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for an excellent read aged 10 and up. By the way, the maze surely does help Andrea!

Wonderful.... simply wonderful

The book begins with a chapter title of the name of the main character (oh dear, here we go... confusion), and many ive read that tend to jump from character to character reliving the same moment, either bore me from the same details (think "GO") or confuse me as I really dont know whats going on. Yet Monica Huges has managed to keep the balance right and not bore us with details, yet know exactly when to reveal others from another angle without the either of the two drawbacks that can occur. Her plot twists are astounding, and her attention to detail amazing as well. Wonderfully written, I had this book pegged as one to read only on the bus, yet after the first ride, I had it done by the end of the night. I hope that Hughes will be continue to write as beautifully as she has in this 30-something publication.
