What will happen...

After reading the Tripods- The White Mountains, I wondered what might happen in the next book, 'The City of Gold and Lead.' I also read the sneak peek and thought that it was unfair to Henry that he could not go to the Tripods' city. 'Why can't he go, too?' I wondered. I think that in the next book, Will, Beanpole and the other boy will go to the Tripods' city without Henry, but I also think that Henry will secretly follow them, so that the four of them can defeat the Tripods. I think that the four boys will become really good friends, especially because they are always going to have to be together. About Eloise, I think that Will will meet her and persuade her to come with him. I predict that Eloise will follow him because she now hated the Tripods because they had done something horrible to her, perhaps like almost killing her. I really want to read the next book because for one thing, I want to find out whether my predictions are true or not, and, for the other thing, I want to find out what will happen if my predictions aren't true. 

I enjoyed the book while I disliked some parts of how the author had written it. My favorite part of the book was when Beanpole had to cut the small metal thing from Will's arm. I had liked that part so much because the author had described the pain very well, especially when he wrote: 'the pain was excruciating.' I also liked the book because it contained courage and bravery in its pages, waiting for a reader to read it over and over again. of course, not every page was full of bravery and courage, like in the chapter 'The Castle of the Red Tower', Will had shown us, or me, his doubts and horror, but he had overcome it just fine. However, I disliked how the author had ended the book. It had no details to explain more clearly of how the three boys got to the top of the White Mountains. If I was the author, I would have wrote the ending like this: 'We walked up to the top of the White Mountains. My arm still hurt, but not as bad. Henry kept on falling, and Beanpole had no strength, but all the same, we walked on. There, greeting us, I saw Ozymandias. "Henry! Beanpole!" I cried. "Look! He is Ozymandias, the man who sent me here!" I started to walk fat, then ran towards him. "So, Will," he said. "I see you have made the journey with two more companions." He smiled at me. As soon as Henry and Beanpole caught up with me, boys and girls came towards us and gave us a cup of water. We, finally, were welcome. We had made it. However, it was not the end, for, it was just the beginning.' I personally thought that the story would have been loved more if the author wrote something like this. Overall, I enjoyed reading this book. Three cheers for the White Mountains!
