Overboard-leah

Overboard

I loved Overboard! It was thrilling,scary, and sad.It was about this girl named Emily who went on a boat but it had too many people on it so it sank. It was very well written for Elizebeth Fama’s first book.I think Overboard is awesome and here are my reasons.

My first example is the setting. The setting by the way is Indonesia. Indonesia is a more of a tropical place so in sad times in the book, the scenery made the story a little bit happier.For example when the boat just sank and she’s trying to adjust here eyes to the darkness she describes the moon light reflecting on the sea.It is also a very unique place so you always want to look at the map to see where their heading.

My second example is the characters. It made the book have meaning and Mrs.Fama makes the characters life-like so you could get a peak at there personality.The characters also made hope in the smallest things since they where in the middle of no-where.So it made you just want to read it forever and forever and flip to the end to know if it will be happily ever after.Like when there in a trying to get to a island and once they come to one the tide pulls them away. It was very sad.

I think Elizabeth Fama should have changed the ending. I thought if you are going to read a happily-ever-after story shouldn't the end conclude happily.In other words I thought Ms.Fama should of add another chapter or two.

I think this book would be a 4 star because I liked everything except the ending. Overboard is great and the characters and the setting make it even greater.I hope you read it!
