The Compound

      Imagine you were crying, things were on fire around you, and you were running to a secret underground bunker your father built. This is what happened to a boy named Eli Yanakakis when he was only six years old. Fast forward seven years and that's where our story starts. Eli, his mom and dad, and his two sisters are starting to get tired and more anxious to get outside. But Eli's dad says they can only come out after twenty years have passed. They have been able to survive for thirteen years, but they have run into some very bad problems. Their food supply is starting to shrink, the livestock is starting to die, and the air filters have started to malfunction. If you want to find out what happens to the Yanakakis family, pick up this book at the HMS library.

      I like The Compound because of the tension, each chapter keeps you on the edge of your seat. I also like the character development of each character in the story. There are some crazy things that staying in an underground bunker for thirteen years can do to you. To add, the story has a great flow throughout the whole book. In conclusion, The Compound, is a very good book.
