The book I read was __Running Out of Time__ by Margaret Peterson Haddix. This book gave a new meaning for science fiction for me. I always thought that science fiction was boring, but in this book that was not at all the case. This book was one of the best books I've read in awhile. This book is about a 13-year-old girl named Jessie Keyser and her struggle to find the cure to diphtheria disease that has taken over their whole town. Jessie is a part of a historical village called Clifton that believes they live in the 1840's. The parents know about the real world, but when the scientists that work on the exhibit start to get aggressive, nobody is safe. They were promised modern day medicine, but they have broke their promise, so Jessie must go on a wild adventure to save the people in her town. Jessie is strong character who never stops believing in herself. When she gets out of the world she quickly realizes that the year is 1996 and is amazed at all the technology around her. She has no idea what the metal objects speeding down the flat surface are called. She is scared about the things around her, but she must push through so she can save the people she love. This book is filled with twists, deception, and excitement. The science topic of this story is medicine. The theme of this book is betrayal, mankind, and maturity. Jessie matures a lot throughout the story. I really enjoyed this book and I would recommend it to anybody who likes adventure books. This book is good for readers 10 and up. This book was way better than I thought it was going to be. It made me second guess all the other science fiction books that I wrote off as weird. I loved this book and I hope you do too.
