Boekverslag: WASTELANDERS VAN IAN STRACHAN
WASTELANDERS VAN IAN STRACHAN
First there is something which every reader of this book has to know that there are several kinds of people.
There are catchers, child protection units, skulls and throwaways.
Catchers are people who are helping the child protection units to collect homeless children from the streets.
Child protecting units are people who are also trying to track homeless children but they are providing welfare to them and the catchers aren?t giving welfare.
Skulls are criminals who travel the countryside, particulary the wastelands. (wastelands are landscapes full with toxic goodies) Most of the time the skulls they just kill everyone they see and everyone in the book is afraid of them.
Throwaways are children who are no longer part of civilization and are drifters who live from doing jobs like picking up rubbish. They often travel in the wastelands.
The story begins when Chip and Sky are fleeing from the skulls.
They are being chased by at least 6 of them.
Sky and Chip are lucky to get out alive. Sky is a girl of 14 years old and she is a throwaway together with her little brother Chip.
Chip is about 8 years old. They have been throwaways since their parents died.
Later in the story they found a boy who couldn?t speak because he was very shy and didn?t had any contact with other people. He could surfive in the wastelands very well and he was a very good help. He was called wolf boy because he made sounds just like a wolf and lived like one.
Just as wolf boy was about to get really close to them the skulls which were in the beginning of the story found them and it was payback time.
They cought Sky and Chip but not wolf boy.
They were tied up against a tree and they would be killed the next day.
The skulls got drunk and so they weren?t paying much attention to Sky and Chip.
In the night Sky heard wolf boy coming who was going to rescue them.
When they finally got away wolf boy dropped something and some of the skulls woke up and they sounded the alarm.
The skulls were now after the kids, in the escape they lost wolf boy.
When they escaped Sky fell down in a ravin and she broke her leg.
Now they couldn?t run anymore so now they decided to hide and that worked.
The skulls probably didn?t wanted to search anymore and they lost them.
Sky and Chip found someone who could help Sky with her leg.
After a couple of days Sky could walk again and the girl wanted to go with them.
So they argued if she could come with them and later they both agreed.
After traveling a while they were picked up by guards, Sky and Chip first thought that they were catchers first but later they were told that the are they were in was a private are which was strictly prohibited for other people.
They were dropped in a town and there Sky saw someone who she knew.
It was a man called Spindor which was a good friend when they had contact with civilization. They travelled to another town where there were also other people who she knew from earlier. The people who they met could do tricks like eating fire and juggling.
They started up kind of circus but then they would tour in cities living by the tips the people would give.
Later the whole group fell apart and Sky and Chip were also seperated from eachother but they would meet again later.
