If You Find This by Matthew Baker

Before you go reading reviews. Please give a second thought about it. I suggest you read the book before you read the reviews. For starters, everyone has their own opinion on books. I saw so many low ratings on this that I just wanted to not read it anymore. I did anyways and I have no regrets at all. This counts for any book you read. most of the time, you are more drawn to the lowest ratings of the book. You got take into that what you might like someone else might not or vice versa.

Despite , the fact that this is my first review, please keep in mind. That these are my own opinions and you probably won’t like the book the same way I do.

For a middle grade book, I believe this was written very good. This Is not a young adult, so don’t go into it with a mind like it is. I personally prefer middle grade books over young adult.

First, In my own opinion it was paced very good. If the pace was any faster, I believe you wouldn’t see the character development. From Nicholas , Zeke and Jordan. Each with their own set of personalities and characters development throughout the story. Which I personally like seeing in a story.

Second, the little words underneath said or yelled did not bother me. As matter of fact, I believed it added character to the story as a whole. Plus, is also connected with the main character and what they love to do. Also , they are very subtle and very easy to know what each word means. ( or you could just ignore them as the story goes)

Third, if there is one thing that caught my attention was how the story ended.It didn’t end like other middle grade books which is a big plus for me .

Last, I liked how realistic the characters were in the book. There’s no arrogance from the main character. The side characters were treated like they had a purpose in the story unlike other books I’ve read .And how it took time for all of them to get along with each other.


So, in the future I might try other books by this author. Which is good for me because I’m usually picky reader.

I suggest if you like adventure, true and honest character development, humor, and the such a wonderful journey that this book brings. Then why not try it out for yourself. If not, no bad feelings!
