The Great Wall of China

    Have you ever heard that the Great Wall of China is the only man-made structure that you can see from the moon with a naked eye? That is just a myth that was written in a book but has been turned into a believable fact in our world today. The truth is that the only way that the great wall of china can be seen outside of our atmosphere is from the moon with a very high contrasted camera, or from earths orbit.

The Great Wall of China started being constructed in 770-476 B.c. because during this time their emperor, Qin Shi Huang, has taken control of 7 different nations and was worried he would get attacked by barbarians. He had slaves, prisoners ,and soldiers working on this 4160 mile long wall. During these wars and battles between china and other barbaric nations the wall has crumbled and eroded over many years. The Government of China has gotten people to start reconstruction on the wall. They started approximately 35 years ago and is still fixing it today.

As the chapters introduce character after character, William Nicholson expertly weaves four stories into one.  Seeker is the first book of the fiction series Noble Warriors.  This incredible book would be a five-star movie.
A a girl named Morningstar gets captured. A sixteen-year old boy named Seeker and a prince named Wildman go on an adventure to find their brother in order to keep weapons from being planted in him.  Not only is the action  incredible, but the dialogue is captivating.  My favorite Wildman line is, “I’m going to tear the flesh off your face with my own teeth! I’m going to hurt you so bad you are going to beg to die!” As all the stories meet, the reader is on the edge of his/her seat not knowing how it is going to end.  The plot development sent me bezerk!
My favorite action scene occurs as Wildman stalks his target, pounces, grabs the trader, and slits his neck. Nothing can stop the reader from getting hooked. When the reader gets involved in one part of the book, the plot will revert back to another part of the story (with even more action).vvm
Anyone who enjoys a blend of blood, humour, and love must read Seeker.  It is probably the best fiction book I have ever read.
