This week I continued reading Escape From Asylum. I found myself staying up for hours every night because I couldn't put the book down! I often found myself being right where Ricky was at!
Ricky thought he was unnoticed in the asylum until the warden approached him and told him he was different than the other patients and he wanted to give him more privileges than the other patients. Ricky felt like the warden had something up his sleeve and he knew he wasn't crazy like the other patients, but the people who worked in the asylum tried to convince him and trick him into thinking that he was crazy and needed to be in the asylum.
I felt Ricky's frustration when he was being persuaded that he was crazy when he knew he wasn't. In the book, one of the nurses warned Ricky about the warden being a monster and butcher and the next day she said to Ricky, "Rick... I have no idea what you're going on about." Rick became flustered and irritated with the warden and nurses. I can't wait to read more to find out what happens to Ricky!

This week I started reading Escape From Asylum. I was easily pulled in when I started reading the first chapter. I felt the emotions that the little boy in the story was feeling. I felt like I was in the book going through what the boy was going through.
In this book, a young boy named Rick is sent to an asylum by his mother and her boyfriend. Rick is a problematic child and his mother has tried everything to get him to behave and nothing has worked. When Rick arrives at the asylum he is scared and wants to go home to his mom. He begs the guards to let him call his mom, but they don't allow it.
I can't wait to continue reading and see what happens to Rick. Any reader can easily tell how scared Rick is being at the asylum by the descriptions in the book. For example, in the book, it says "It was hard to sound anything but terrified when he was being hauled into a cell in a place he didn't know." Rick was clearly terrified and the descriptions and pictures in the book made it so much easier to picture exactly where he was and what it looked like!
