My book : City Of Masks; Stravaganza By: Mary Hoffman
I wouldn't necessarily call my book a 'classic'.  I would say there is two ways to look at the definition. In my opinion there are the classics that have won awards and are popular, some good some bad but my favourite books that I read over and over again, I would define them as personal classic novels. City of Masks hasn't gotten it's name out like Harry Potter has or the Lord of the Rings novels, but I would say it is a personal classic from my perspective. I have acknowledged the novels excellence in many ways. The novel has a great plot, with adventure in time travel. It has the typical main character that experiences sorrow, greatness, bravery, and happiness. The novel intrigued me throughout every chapter, which is my favourite characteristic in a novel. I think future generations of students should read this novel. It is an uplifting novel that opens your mind to a greater imagination about adventures and traveling. It think that in future generations, if they maybe have more high technologies this novel would still have a great everyday life story that all humans care for, excitement.
