Reading, reading - 4 titles.

The first one had a problem. Shooter by Walter Dean Myers. This is about a boy and his friend and the events of a school shooting. Problem, i am reading along and get to page 214, the last page of the book. Problem: the book is over 221 pages long. This is a great book so my boss says i should try and pick it up. We will try and fix the book.

Hero of lesser ---___

I have been reading non-stop lately so forgive me for not remembering. This is the story of a brother and a sister who grow closer as the brother battles an illness. It falls into the historical fiction category. A great read.

The sledding hill.

This is the story of Eddy who tries to cope after the death of his father and his bestfriend. Although this sounds creepy, his best friend comes along after his death and continues to be Eddy's friend. The other neat twist to this book is the Chris Crutcher, the author brings himself into the book. I liked that but was so into the relationship between Eddy and his best friend it took away from that part of the story. Good read.

The blue helmet

I am reading this book and reading this book waiting for the blue helmet. The story is amazing.
I expected the blue helmet to be about the main character but instead it was about a secondary character. The helmet does not come into play until almost the end. This story is also a bit graphic but i loved this book. There is an old saying when one door closes, another one opens. This totally fits the story.

P.s. I cannot spell my name. I could not remember the password to log in. I need to go outside and get some fresh air.

Sad, eh!
