Even if you don't like science fiction this is a great book. The souls have taken over earth and only a few rebel humans are left over.

Her host body whose name is Melanie, won't let her body and mind be left to be taken over by Wanderer. Wanderer eventually gives into Melanie and they share her body, with Wanderer doing most of the bigger things. Wanderer and Melanie eventually stumble upon a group of rebel humans, a few of which Melanie know. The humans don't trust them because they know that they could be led to seekers to be infected with a soul. They lock Wanderer/Melanie up and it seems like they will never see the light of day again. What will happen to Wanderer and Melanie now?

Here's another great book review from our teen reviewers!
Name: S.
Grade: 6
Title: The Slippery Map
Author: N. E. Bode
Month/Year of Publication: 2007
Genre: Adventure/Fantasy
The Slippery Map is about a boy named Oyster R. Motel who lives in a nunnery and desperately needs something fun to do. One day, when he and Ms. Fishback are going to get Oyster's tooth fixed, a whole new adventure begins. He is sucked into a whole new world where there are creatures called Perths. These Perths need help to defeat the evil Dark Mouth who currently rules the land. Oyster's parents are prisoners in Dark Mark's home and it is Oyster's duty to save them. Join him in this amazing adventure and see what happens at the end! I really enjoyed this book because I felt that it really put me in a "position", I was right there with the character. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone, but mostly geared to middle school kids.
