Entry one

The book that I have chosen to read is "maggot moon". This book is about a boy called hector he Is introduced as a shy boy who has had a rough life, his parents are made to seem like they had died but as I read further into the story it sounds like they have escaped, he is made fun of in school and he isn't that smart, his name is Standish Treadwell. In fact one of the first things to describe him in the book is "you see, I can't spell my own name. Standish Treadwell. Can't read can't write Standish Treadwell isn't bright. So from the very begging you feel sorry for him. He has been living with his grandad "gramps" (as he is called in the book) he is like any loving caring grandad and standish knows he will always be there for him, I know this because in the book there is this line "gramps was the only person who still pulled at the gravity in me". he was pretty much Standish'is only friend until he met Hector  who became his best  friend, hector would always stand up for Standish against everyone else.
 until one day they were playing with a ball down at the railway tunnel and it went over a bwall but not just any wall the border wall. And the people in this "zone" we're not aloud to cross so standish and Hector left but it was Standish's favorite ball so the next day hector went down and then he came back with the ball, standish was not really pleased, he was worried because everyone knew what happened if you went out of your zone. Then that night hectors family were staying at Standish's house but, they didn't stay the whole night, in the morning the whole family had disappeared and this happened a lot in their zone people would just disappear into these "holes in the ground" (metaphorical) and hector says that that was what his parents fell into and disappeared.
I think that this plot is quite a lot like the hunger games because of the zones and they have the capital and they have something a lot like that in this book and they have these people that will destroy things and so does this book so they have a lot of the same things, it is about these two friends.
I think that hector will escape one day and he will go free and find Hector at some point on his journey
