City of Masks is a book by Mary Hoffman.
It begins with with introducing the main character, Lucien. Lucien is a 15 year old boy who has Lleukemia and at the start of the book he is in hospital.
Lucien's father gives Lucien a book to write in as he is too sick to speak.
One day when Lucien falls asleep with the book in his hands he wakes up to find himself in 17th century Venice though it is called Belleza. Lucien is found in his 21st century pajamas by a girl named Arianna. She tells him that the festival of the Duchessa is on and if anyone finds out that he is not Bellazan he would be killed. Lucien becomes friends with Arianna and together they they have many adventures.
Lucien becomes an apprentice to the great scholar, Senator Radolfo.It just so happens that Radolfo is a Stravagate too. (A Stravagate is someone who can go from one world to another.)
All through the book Lucien travels from London to Belleza and this causes some trouble when he is captured by the di Chimici.
But you'll have to find out if Lucien escapes when you read the book!
I recommend this book to anyone my age or older, both guys and girls.
There are 4 books in the the series and all of them follow new Stravagates from the same world as Lucien.

hey steph that sounds like a really good book, one i will have to keep my eyes out for.
ReplyDeletei think your a good blog writter, but you repeated two words, they, and with. at the start and in the second paragraph, at the last line. but other than that it was really good steph :)
i liked it. :)
nice Steph,
ReplyDeletegoes with charachters and outlines the plot with out giving anything away, it recomends the book to the apropritate audience.
The only constructive criasism i can see is that there is no star rating or out of 10.
The image really adds to it, as it puts a picture in the head of the reader instead of them trying to regonise the title.
all in all good work. :)
