TEEN BOOK WARNING

This is my official TEEN BOOK warning. I have put it here so that you know about teen books. If you have read a one of my reviews of a teen book and feel like you want to try reading it, please read this. If you are just browsing my blog please read this. I want nothing to do with you getting in trouble for reading a book, so please refer here before blaming me for not waring you.
I review TEEN BOOKS. These books tend to deal with some slightly more mature themes and ideas that are not necessarily what your parent(s) (unless you are a parent, in which case you (Or you're a teacher in which case the parents of your students)) would want you to read. If the authority figure which may be your parent(s), the parents, or you the parent says go for it, have fun, or if you have any questions come to me etc., then fine by me go ahead but as the friendly blogger behind the screen I feel the need to present this information before I delve into the nitty-gritty-fun stuff.

Wilder Girls Rosy Power

Halt! Who goes there! Declare yourself!
Merlin Bookworm!
You may enter!
So this intro is super weird, but fitting with the book. Wilder Girls is a take on the classic Lord of the Flies, but with girls (this seems to be a new thing). Sounds weird right? It is but in a good way. Essentially a horrible disease has hit this island boarding school and now the girls who attend are quarantined there.
Characters!
  • Hetty- First of all what kind of name is Hetty? So Hetty is a student at Raxter School for Girls. Her father is in the Navy which is why she attends Raxter. Just like everyone at Raxter she has the Tox. 
  • Byatt- Again with the names? How do you even this?? Her dad is also in the navy, and she's best friends with Hetty.
  • Reese- Finally, a name I can get behind! She's the groundskeeper's daughter. Reese is that girl who looks and acts tough and everybody is scared of (really she's just a little bit of a softy). She's friends with Hetty and Byatt, but is closer to Byatt.
Plot!
So eighteen months ago The Tox struck Raxter. What the Tox is no one really knows, but it is a disease I find fascinating. I should probably tell ya'll (again) that I'm a huge nerd, especially when it comes to science so bear with me. The Tox enters the bodies of young girls and changes the DNA. It literally alters the DNA and tries to make it better. From what can tell it's activated by hormones, presumably estrogen, or at least controlled by them. Men can contract the disease but it proves fatal and painfully so. Because no one knows what causes the Tox or if it's contagious or how it spreads, Raxter has been quarantined since the first case. The Navy sends food and supplies but only certain girls, "The Boat Shift", are allowed to go retrieve them. Every girl wants to be a Boat Shift girl. Not the point. Anyway, one day Byatt goes missing, ad Hetty  and Reese have to find her.
Review!
I liked Wilder Girls. Not my fav, but still. I love takes off classics so that's great. I'm honestly not a horror person, and this book is 🎶creepy🎶. I love the Si-Fi/dystopian thing though so it balances. I did feel like something was missing, I'm just not sure what. Overall 6/10 paw prints 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
DISMISSED!

PS I'm sorry I've been so bad about updating. I mean to update but I never do. I'm a horrible person.
