Alias

Toby has always wondered what his mom was keeping from him. Whenever he asked questions she would respond by telling him not to ask but to do as she says. Since Toby could remember, he never stayed in one place for a long time. Instead, he was always moving from one place of the country to another whenever Bad News Fred showed up. Toby's mother changed her appearance whenever they moved to a new place. In one town she had long, blond hair, and then in another city she had short, brown hair. She changed her name as often as she changed her hairstyle. On their last move Toby, discovers why his mother is so secretive-- she is a fugitive who has been running from the FBI since the Vietnam War. The heat is on, and the FBI find out where Toby and his mother are located. Fred arrives to warn Toby's mom and she leaves Toby behind. Will Toby ever see his mother again? Will his mother escape? The book is very thrilling and very unpredictable. If you think you know how the book ends you could be wrong! This book is a great way to get your mind off things and I am sure you will not put the book down towards the end because I sure did not.

This book was great. The last few pages were kinda cluttered with information as she tried to bring the closing to a smooth halt, but it all worked out nicely. I enjoyed it, and hope she has more books coming out soon.

I read the book Alias by Elizabeth Ryan. It was about a boy named Toby and his mother who are on the run. It was a wonderful book to me because it was very mysterious. It was neat because it didn't tell you a lot in one time. It made you want to keep reading. The book's plot was easy to follow even though Toby and his mom moved around often and his mother had to change her name from being found. All together this was a good book that you will have to read, because to tell you more, would ruin the ending!

That's all I have to say about that..
