Torn

            Torn by Margaret Peterson Haddix is about two kids named Jonah and Katherine who are sent back to 1611 by a man called Second who is trying to destroy time.  Jonah and Katherine are sent to the boat that John Hudson is on and try to repair the damage that Second had done.  This book is science fiction. 

            Jonah and Katherine are brother and sister, but Jonah is adopted.  They each did things to help other and keep each other safe when they were in a lot of danger, and at some points, they even risked their lives for each other.  This made me start thinking about siblings, and I wondered, if they were real, would they ever fight like most siblings do.  I thought about the relationships of different kinds of siblings, which I probably did because I have a twinlet.  I wondered if I would feel differently about my sibilings if any of them were adopted.  I have two step-siblings that I love very much, but in a different way than my blood brothers, and I love my twin in a different way than I love my little brother.  After I thought about it a lot, I realized that it is not about loving any of them more or less than any other.  They are just different kinds of relationships, and I love them all.  I would do anything to keep them safe, and I know they would all do the same for me.
