This book is about a boy named Matty who wants to earn his true name. Matty used to be a boy who would steal and cheat,but as the years went by he grew up. Matty now lives in the village,with a blind man named Seer to take care of him. Then one day, Matty has to go back to the place that he lived in when he was a little boy to announce the closing of the village. Matty also brings Seer's daughter back,named Kira. As Matty and Kira go through the Forest,they face many challenges having to do with how they are going to survive.

Opinion: 

My opinion of the book is that it was written very powerfully. An example of this is when Matty and Kira struggle to go through the Forest by themselves. It is also a powerful book because Matty dies,but he dies with dignity. Matty and Kira also are very strong characters because Kira lives with a broken leg,while Matty struggles to go through the Forest. They also have very strong personalities because they both believe that they can achieve their goals. I basically liked all the characters of the book a lot because they all had good characteristics. This book is for people who believe that they can achieve anything that they put there mind to.
