 * Hunter Selby-Period 10**

As the story progresses, many unexpected things have taken place and many new twists have happened with the plot. After he leaves Aswell, Adam runs into many different problems, including an attacking dog and trouble-causing teenagers that chase Adam down with their car. After chasing Adam and almost running into him, they swerve him off into the bank where he is knocked unconscious for several hours. Afterwards, he is picked up by an elderly couple on their way to a doctor’s appointment. They then give him a ride to Hookset. I believe that Robert Cormier added this little twist because he wanted to add suspense to the story, and he wanted to make the long bicycle journey even more difficult for Adam, which in turn makes it more interesting for the reader. I think he also wanted to show some of the difficulty for teenagers that travel by themselves, like bullies or weather. So far the book is very easy to understand. I think it is going to be an interesting plot, because every chapter the author puts in a little part of an interview between Adam and some other unnamed authority. I think that the unknown character is someone who has to do with the government or some secret agency, and that Adam is captured and taken to these people after he reaches his dad’s house. I am very anxious to see what happens in the rest of the story
