Born to Read - Ben W.

          Currently, I am reading the fantasy novel Pathfinder by Orson Scott Card (Author of Ender's Game). I am currently 150 pages into the book, but I am very eager to read on. This book is about a 13 year old boy named Rigg. He has a secret that only he and his father know. Rigg has the ability to see paths of people and animals pasts. This helps Rigg and his father make their living by trapping them and selling their fur. Then an event occurs that will change Rigg's live forever. As Rigg and his father are hunting, a tree falls on Rigg's father. Rigg gets to his father quick enough, that he can give Rigg several instructions, but then he dies. Rigg is pushed into a new life and journey, to learn more about himself and his father. His journey is not easy or predictable, with twists and turns around every corner.

          Pathfinder is very captivating and intriguing. The character development and imagery is stunning. I feel like I am right next to Rigg throughout the novel.So far, every other chapter is part of another plot line. This other plot line is completely different than the main plot line previously discussed. It has been very vague and not prevalent through my current location in the novel. I am very fascinated to see how the two storyline tie together. A technical element that I really appreciate is that the two separate plot lines have different fonts. I highly appreciate this aid to help me separate the plot lines and not get confused. Out of what I have read, I would highly recommend Pathfinder by Orson Scott Card.
