The Bone Cage- Plot

The Bone Cage is now one of my favourite books. Being an athlete myself, I love how I can see how other athletes think and what they go through, especially Sadie and Digger. (Being athletes at elite levels) The plot of the book is so passionate and the way Angie describes the lives of the athletes makes it even more compelling because of its realism. The plot begins with the situation the athletes are in and how good they are. Sadie wins the Olympic trial race and so does Digger in his wrestling match. They both go through strenuous routines but things a long the way set them back. Sadie’s Grandma dies and Digger’s best friend falls into a deep depression because he failed the last chance of getting to the Olympics. I felt like I knew them personally because the plot brought you into other aspects of their life that didn’t just consist of training. You got to literally see the emotions they felt and everything they thought in any situation they were in; whether during hard practices or relationships. The plot made the lives of the two main characters seem so real, and the passion behind everything made it such a great book. The theme should be passion. Everything the athletes do in their lives is full of love and affection.
