Comments: I really enjoyed the begging of this book, the author really introduce's all the character well and early on you can learn about them and there personalities. You can feel what there life is like, and early on compare it to yours. The author did a excellent job of getting the readers "hooked on" to the book and continue reading. So far I give this book a 9/10, that's some great work so far.
This sounds like and interesting book. I would like to read it too. I think that this book is so interesting for you because it is about a boy who has almost the same age as we do now.
