Far Rockaway by Charlie Fletcher

Far Rockaway written by Charlie Fletcher was a great book which I thoroughly enjoyed reading. I found that when i was reading the book I asked myself lots of questions such as, what would i choose? Who would I trust? Why did she do that? The book got you thinking and you put yourself in the characters shoes. I found the beginning of the book very captivating as it started off with a lot of action that you needed to pay attention too, the beginning of the book surprised me which mad me want to keep reading. From Indians with clubs too a pirate with one leg, this book has some very fascinating characters, my personal favourite was a pirate named Silver who always kept me on edge because I wasn't sure whether I would trust him if I was the girl. There were a lot of parts in the novel where I couldn't put it down, I would say to myself "3 more pages and then put it down" but  I would end up reading 3 more chapters instead, although one of my favourite parts had to be when she was on an island getting chased by Indians who had returned from the dead. The book did not end as I expected, I found myself wondering about her grandfathers words and why he did what he did, it left me wondering why the two pirates gave up so much for this girl they barely knew. There were quite a few different settings in the book and each one was very different from the last, you are expecting from the start of the book for the story to  just be set in the city but she ends up climbing a cliff in the dark woods and walking up a bay of black sand and red flowers. This story did change my opinion about things, it made me think about living a life worth living. It made me think about death and what actually happens, do you just wake up somewhere else or as someone else or does everything just go black? Overall I though this was a great book and i highly recommend it! I leave you with a quote "real girls rescue themselves"
