House of the scorpion

My favorite book from last year was the House Of The Scorpion, written by Nancy Farmer. It's about a young boy named Matt, he lives with a women named Cecilia, who is his caretaker. When bunch of kids find Matt his life changes forever more he finds out who he really is and what he is, but also why he was brought to this world. will Matt be able to change his future or will he be doomed.
