Summary: The Escape From Home (Beyond the Western Sea, Book 1) By Avi
Comment: This is a really great book. At first the book was a little slow, and boring, but it got SO GOOD! Now I want to read the next book. Basically, there is 2 stories of different people going on at once. Maura, Patrick O'Connel, and their mother are living alone while their father is living in America, trying to make money so that they can come live with him for a better life. They face a lot of challenging surprises as the reach their destination- America. With their mother refusing to leave their hometown, they are off on their own to reach their father. At the same time a young boy Sir Laurence Kirkle, son of a wealthy man, runs away to America because he is not happy with his life. With his father hiring people to find him and take him home, his older brother hires a man to make sure his brother stays away from home so he does not return home. Maura, Patrick, and Laurence all meet up and try to get to America, but do they?? You will have to read the next book to find out!!

Summary: You should hear about Beyond the Western Sea
Comment: Patrick and Maura O'Connell are two Irish kids from a small village called Killony trying to voyage to America to join their father. Also trying to get to America is young Sir Lawrence Kirkle, the second son of a very rich man in London. He runs away from his home in London because his older brother Albert abuses him. Obviously, his older brother does not like him. Albert pays Matthew Clemspool to get his brother out of England. In order to get to America, they have to take a boat to Liverpool. When Maura and Patrick get to Liverpool, they have tickets to stay at the Union House, a Hotel for immigrants going to America. There are other places to stay in Liverpool, so a group of people try to take the lost immigrants to other places that aren't as nice so the people that run them get some money from the immigrants. Ralph Toggs is one of those people and takes Patrick and Maura to a very dirty place.
Imagine being lost, not knowing what to expect next in a city full of people trying to make you go the wrong way. You don't know who to trust, who not to trust, where to run, or where to hide.
This book is amazing and suspenseful. Avi keeps you guessing at the end of every chapter. Trust me, if you pick up this book, you won't put it down. If you read this book, you will definitely want to read the next one in the series, Lord Kirle's Money. Two thumbs up.
