Author: Dave Eggers, Based on Where the Wild Things Are, by Maurice Sendak

Age Reccomendation: 9 and up

Number of Stars I give it:1 and 1\2

The Wild Things starts out with a boy who is at home and does not have the best family. He does some forbidden things, gets in some trouble and decides to run away. He finds himself on an island where there are strange, large creatures. They end up thinking that he is the king. He tries to help them, with mixed results. I found it kind of boring at many parts and just not an interesting storyline. I would recommend this book if you think monsters are awesome.  Or if you love misbehaving boys. I gave this book 1 and 1\2 stars. 1 is the lowest rating I can give a book and it got an extra 1\2 just because I thought that before the little boy left home the book was sometimes at least a little bit interesting. The Wild Things was not my favorite book,but I’m sure some kids would love it.
