The Journal of Curious Letters by James Dashner
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Tick, a smart kid who is bullied at school, receives a strange letter. If he burns the letter, nothing will happen, but if he keeps it he will be involved in an adventure where "many, many lives are at stake." He chooses to keep the letter,and the adventure begins. One especially redeeming feature of this book number one in the series, is that Tick actually confides with his father about what is happening to him. This usually never happens in young adult books. His dad helps him solve the mystery. What a nice touch.
