My favorite book that I read this year was Atlanta and the Arcadian Beast. It is about a girl my age living in the wild alone since the mystery animal or the Arcadian beast killed her adopted father. She was alone, but instantly found her play mate long ago. He was a bear, and she named him Urso. She came to know him because during her child years, she was abandoned, and Urso's mom adopted her. Then when she was about three or four years old, her adopted father went hunting and saw her. Her adopted father realize that his wife wanted a child, so he took the child with him. Later on the years, Atlanta's mother died and she during her youth year she became a skilled hunter and that was when her father past away. She wanted to take revenge for her father and wanted to kill the Arcadian Beast. Therefore, on her adventures to the town and cities with Urso by her side, she came to know people and understand them. However, at first she was wild and the people at the town didn't like her. After a while though, the people came to know her better and she went on her adventures;meeting many new friends along the way. Then Atlanta realized that she was a princess when she arrived to visit the palace to help kill the Arcadian Beast. When she finally killed the beast, she figured they were just a lovely family. The father had been badly injured and wounded by Atlanta; the mother had already been dead; the cub was young and unable to fly yet. She realizes his life was just like her. Living in the world of strangers, with no one left.
     Even though this book doesn't relate a lot to me, I love the adventures and the bravery and strongness of Atlanta. She was acting like what I may act in a situation like her. Except, I wouldn't be as fierce as her. Atlanta was my most favorited book of the books I read this year.
