Monument 14 By: Laybourne 

             The start of this book is a amazing read. It starts with a average teen getting ready for school. And how much they take there mother for grant it, he is late to the bus stop. At a later time missing he would've missed the bus completely. As an eight grade boy him and his six friends have something terrible happen to them and the rest of the world. Him as well as the other six wish they could go back in time to spend those last moments with there mothers differently. They would make sure those moments were shared with love and feelings. 

Question #1: Theme? The theme of this book i think might change a little throughout the book it has a very interesting way of showing the reader certain things. Its theme makes me want to read the novel more and more. Unlike other novels it has a unique way of wording and playing the characters. 

Question #2: Characters? Its main character Dean Grieber isa unique character in showing depth in the book. He brings the book together as he goes through this unknown obstacle. He is the only character met so far in the book. As his six friends who go through the exact problems as him are not presented. They seem to not play as a big role as he does. He kinda is the leader of the group.
