They interact nicely with one another, giving the perfect combination of conflict throughout the book. And Terrance is your basic pain in the arse thug wannabe. The characters are a nice compliment to one another as well. That made it believable, and I am thankful that not everything ended up sugary sweet. BUT somethings were not solved in the way you might think. Yes, there is that obvious "happy ending" that you knew was coming (so don't whine about a spoiler). No rainbows and unicorns- at least not completely. There are no neat little bows wrapping up the plot at the end. Yes, the cliche remains, but he doesn't beat the dead horse. Well, thankfully Gordon Korman came along and gave it fresh insight. Will they do the right thing or not? Very plaid out cliche in literature, I think. Troubled teens get a second chance, but someone blows it. I've just read a lot of them already.) You know the scenario. I was really worried when I started this one that it was going to be like a Walter Dean Meyers book. Readers who enjoy realistic stories about second chances.
This is a satisfying book about the opportunity for redemption and how important it is not to give up. The boys each have their own unique personality and together they make quite a team. I enjoyed following their journey and rooting for them to succeed. The three boys face quite a few obstacles during their journey. This is one of those books where, everything that can go wrong does.
So, I was surprised when the accident happened and by the direction the book took afterwards. I like going into books without knowing what direction they will take. I only read one of his books, so I decided to read a few more.Īs usual, I didn't read the synopsis of this book before I started. He even had writing sessions, where he taught the kids how to come up with their own stories. He spoke to the students in grades 3 through 8.
Last month, Gordon Korman came to visit our school.
