//review by Sammy Silseth//
I read the exhilarating story, the maze. It takes place in Colorodo, Utah(Canyonlands National Park), and Blue Canyon Youth Detention Center. In this story there is a man named Rick who runs into a few problems. His problems are about his family, his friends, and his choices. First off, he is an orphan; he has no one left in his family. His parents didn’t want him, so his grandmother took care of him. Now all he does is watches over condors in Colorado. Condors are //almost extinct, so// they are repopulating them. When he is there his friend Lon gets trapped and lost in a canyon. Another issue is that he technically has no home, and is in prison. He had nowhere to go.  I would recommend this book to people who like cliff hangers, action, and of the ages 9-22. I would recommend this because it is very exciting. You never know if he will rise or fall. Rick has a dream to fly, but that’s impossible. Or is it? Mild at first, then action everywhere, the suspense never-ending! I always felt how Rick did. This was written really well, and I was more than satisfied with the ending. The ending made me so happy I’d give it an eleven out of ten because it was so good.

This book seemed to have a spark to it. It was like nothing else I’ve read. Avi and Kate DiCamillo don't even compare to Will Hobbs. I really got sucked into the action, it was like I had been there watching the whole time. I was almost seeing everything in his life pass before him. I could almost even his pain, or relate to it in a way. Kids with an imagination would have a lot of fun reading this book. It wouldn't surprise me if this book won an award. Will Hobbs is very intelligent and talented and i plan to read more of his books
