In darkness

          We all have a reason for picking a book. Reviews, Articles, and Suggestions. For me I usually pick a book for the cover. I know we're always taught to not judge a book by its cover but sometimes the cover matches the pages it holds. This is the case with In Darkness. The cover really caught my attention and Indecided to read it. Good descion on my part if I do say so myself.
    In darkness coves the story of a young boy named shorty who is trapped under the rubble in the aftermath of a Haitian earthquake. This whole book basically takes place while Shorty is trapped under the rubble. He is hunger and thirsty surrounded by the dead bodies that were killed by the collapse of the hostpial short is trapped under. From here on he trapped in the darkness. However in this book we more discuss the life of a slave and revolutionary leader Toussaint L'Ouverture who was a revolutionary leader in the Haitian revolution. We learn about his life and his impact on the Haitian country as a whole. Sadly in the end short dies because of his situation.
