The Horizon by Scott Westerfeld is about adventure, mystery, and survival. I'll what is the basic story in this book. There was a robotic team called 'Kill-Bot'. They were on a plane going to japan for a robot competition but the plane crashed on an uninhabited island and they meet other characters and they try to find a way to escape the island.
I was interested in the setting because the island was not real and this was the first time a Japanese character was the main character, of 3 Japanese people in the story. The people who love adventure and survival will like it but it's a little boring. (Woojin. Grade 6)

This book is like a mystery, magical, adventure/survival type of book. If you like these types, I think you should give this book a try. The mystery part comes about in the middle of the whole book.
I liked how all these survival/adventure thing happened at the start when the plane crashed.
There were only the main character, and there friends after the crash.
About 3-2 of the characters are japanese. They are in a robotic clan.
I liked a part where they invented a type of berries by eating them.
They made a gravity machine, which was very useful sometimes. (Jiwan. Grade 6)

But while they are in the air tragedy structs and they find themselves in a unknown jungle which is not known to humans. This book is about how they learn to cope by themselves, and the many adventures they lived through. I enjoyed reading this book and I would rate it 3.5. The book isn't to long and I would recommend it to people who like adventurous stories. (Enya. Grade 6)
