What would you do?

After a mysterious impact in the dry Oklahoma landscape, three teenagers discover a world where they can do anything they want. Anything at all: Play. Explore. Fly. Destroy. But as a ripple of consequences impact on reality, Sonny, Isla and Dan realise this is far from a game. Do they now have the power to change the real world? Because if they do, they know exactly what they want to do first.

Dirt-poor Sonny Monroe blames the oil company that fracked his family ranch for his problems. Dan Hawk, a Native American from the Chickatawa tribe, has never forgotten who stole his native Homelands. Idealistic Isla Duncan, a Scottish Paralympian junior on a charity handcycle tour, would just like to make the world a better place.

As the three teens attract global enemies and the killings begin, grave doubts divide them: Do they control this new-found power? Or is it controlling them?

If so, what on Earth does The Sandbox want?

If you had the technology to do something different would you do it?

The Sandbox by J.W. Patrick was an interesting read. It takes place within ten days from the day of this strange impact to the end of the book. We went through a lot of stages within this book with these three main characters.

What I like:

• The author introduces a real-life problem in the story. The fracking and what it’s doing as that is happening.
• I like the friendship between two of the male characters and how they allowed the only female to be in their click.

What I don’t like:

I don’t really have a lot of dislikes about it. The whole story was just different than I thought it would be. The one thing that was annoying while reading was the fact that Sonny would go from talking like an Okie to talking like an average person.

Three Stars

The Sandbox by J.W. Patrick is a different type of book that has potential. The characters where all great and I am giving this book a three-star rating.
