Sent

Hi there, fellow humans! I am back and about to tell you about a good (so far) book. Sent, by Margret Peterson Haddix, is the sequel to Found, book one in the Missing series, in which Jonah, an adopted 13-year-old, and his friend chip, also adopted, begin receiving mysterious letters. The first one says, "You are one of the missing." The second one says, "Beware! They're coming back to get you." Katherine, Jonah's sister (not adopted) is drawn in to the mystery when she sees the letters. Long story short, they all are sent back to the 1400s along with Alex, another adopted child. Sent picks up just after they find themselves in the fifteenth century. They are trying to figure out what happened and how to get back to the 21 century, with help from JD(a time traveler) and the Elucidator,  a complex gadget from the future, when they find out that Chip and Alex are actually fifteenth century princes about to be murdered by their uncle. Jonah and Katherine save them from an untimely death, but the are not sure of the consequences of their actions... And that is as far as I got. I like the book a lot so far because the characters really don't seem to have any idea what is going on. For example,  when they find Chip and Alex's tracers, or a image of what they would have been doing had they not been ripped from their time, they really don't know what they are until JD informs them. I also like that the book moves along at a fast pace. The characters hardly have time to recover from almost seeing their friends murdered when they have soldiers searching for them and trying to figure out how to become un-invisible(thanks to the Elucidator). I would give this book a seven out of ten, with ten being the most awesomest book I ever read(and yes I know that is not propper grammar) and one being extremely horrible.That's all for now, folks! Blog to you later.
P.S. I commented on Tommy's blog.
