The Pledge

         Hey guys!

               I am proud to introduce to you, the book The Pledge by Kimberly Derting.

             Charlie lives in Ludania, a place where the queen rules all, the classes are separated by languages, and the revolutionaries are wanting a war. Seventeen-year-old Charlie can comprehend all forms of communication: Languages, pictures, hand gestures. If someone found out, she would be hung. Then she meets Max, this mysterious boy who speaks a language that she has never heard. Through strange and horrific events, it becomes clear that Charlie is the key that can stop the oppressive kingdom and bring in a new ruler.

              This book is fantastic! To be honest, I didn't think that I would like it, but the characters and stories of each one wind through each others in a way unlike any other. It is easy to comprehend, and is enticing! I stayed up all night finishing this cause I couldn't put it down.

                 See you tomorrow!
