Conor and the Crossworlds: Breaking the Barrier by Kevin Gerard is a fictional book that consists of 241 pages. Conor is a depressed ten year old boy who lost his favorite uncle and has no hope for the future. As his depression continues, he unknowingly calls forth the Crossworlds’ creators who summon Conor to their world where he meets a giant, flying cougar named Purugama. Purugama guides him through the world to show Conor the various futures that are possible to give him hope again. Conor is now optimistic about the future, so Purugama takes him home. On the way back, Purugama crosses paths with his rival, Drazian, and they fight for Conor’s life.
Overall, I like the book due to the fact that it is relatable. Sometimes in life, you may feel hopeless or depressed, but you have to be optimistic about the future and know that your life will turn around. Also it shows that real friends will do anything for you and will always try to make you feel good about yourself by cheering you up when you are sad. This is the kind of friend that Purugama becomes throughout the journey that Conor takes with him. If you enjoy fantasies with plenty of action and life lessons, then I recommend this book to you. Also, since the book is only 241 pages, it does not disappoint in being a quick read when you are bored or just need a break from analyzing novels like Hamlet in class.

ReplyDeleteEven though this is a fictional novel, the reader is still able to relate to it. The personal problems the main character faces are issues that all human beings go through. This book sounds very interesting due to its combination of fantasy and a possible real life situation. Thanks for sharing.
