The Last Book in the Universe !

1) Rodman Philbrick's first novel was published in and around the age of 27. He wrote his first book in grade six and didn't get published til the age of 27, so it has taken him about 16 years to be recognized.

2) I think what makes Rodman Philbrick a good author is determination. He never once gave up on his dream and I think you can really see that in his work. He focuses on books for younger children and I think that help to keep his imagination young and exciting, which reads through into his novels.

This man resembles Ryter because he is old and looks weak and pretty run down. He also looks like someone who would rather just be living by himself, doing his own thing.

This little boy reminds me of Little Face because he looks alone and unhappy. He had to fend for himself and take care of himself. He is extremely skinny because he isn't able to get the food, because of the fact that he has no money and no one to look after him.

This lady reminds me of Lanaya because she is extremely pretty, and has the long blonde hair that they talk about in the novel. She looks as though she has quite a bit of money and she is extremely clean unlike the others from the stacks.

This teenager reminds me of Spaz because he looks tough. He looks as though he could handle almost anything that is thrown at him. It looks as though he could live by himself and look after him self with out anyones help.

This psychotic looking man reminds me of a Monkey Boy because, well he looks like a monkey.
