Todd is a boy on the verge of manhood when he all of a sudden he hears a silence which indicates something unusual. Ben and Cillian, which are his care takers urge him to leave town to save him from becoming “evil”, a man. Todd finds out what the silence is and continuously tries to seek help with Viola by his side by running from the army, hopping from town to town. Aaron catches up to them and tries turning Todd into a man by pushing his buttons to anger him which should lead Todd wanting to murder Aaron. Instead, Viola manages to kill him so Todd doesn't have to turn evil. Todd and Viola eventually end up in Haven but to their surprise, Mayor Prentiss is already there waiting for his army to settle into their new town. This book is recommended for ninth graders and above and would be great to introduce for a science fiction/fantasy story. This book like stated in “Making the Match”, is a Fantasy/ Science Fiction title that attracts many types of readers. The invented plot or setting keeps readers interested and allows them to escape to a faraway world. This book contained fanciful characters “animals” which were able to use either basic or advance vocabulary and could be heard throughout by everyone.
