House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer


Book Recommended by Carl B.

Grayson Branch

House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer has not only won three honor awards, but also my opinion as being the most creative story. Readers start out with a boy named Matteo. Matteo is a clone of a rich man named El Patron. Matteo is hated by everyone because in their eyes he is a freak, but El Patron treats him as an equal. Later Matteo finds out that El Patron is going to kill him and use his organs to keep El Patron from dying. The only way to survive is for Matteo to escape. This story was a great read because it brought in thoughts about the cloning technology we have today and what it could become. I would recommend The House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer to anyone that is craving a very suspenseful, on the edge of your seat book.
