'Going Where It's Dark': Logan Reviews

Delacorte Books for Young Readers

This is Logan, here to tell you about Going where it’s Dark, a book for young adult readers written by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor.

Going where it’s Dark by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor is a very exciting book, and I couldn’t put it down once I started reading it. The main character is Buck Anderson, a thirteen-year-old boy who struggles with problems, including bullying and stuttering. He overcomes the bullying problem but instead of learning how to not stutter, he learns how to not fight it and be able to stutter more easily.

Buck likes to go caving and pretty much just explore. He got interested in caving in the spring of 5th grade when their teacher made him and his best friend, David, partners for a project. They chose to do their project on caves. (They could choose rock, sky, or water.)

Buck is adventurous, smart, and brave. The story is third person limited, which means you only see inside one person’s thoughts. The story was interesting, and I liked it a lot. I would recommend this book for 4th grade and up, but if you like suspense, then you can read it if you’re interested. I think that if you’re intrigued, you should read it. I think if you want to read it, you definitely should.
