Trouble


I have been reading Trouble By Gary Schmidt. This book is about a teenage boy Henry who has a older brother who gets killed. His brother dies while he was in the hospital after being hit by a truck. Chay the young Cambodian teen who hit Franklin says it was a accident but nobody believes him not even his own parents. Later in the book Henry comes across a Black Dog and keeps it. Thinking it will help replace Franklin. Franklin and Henry were planning to climb Mt. Katahdin. With the memory of Franklin stuck in his head he sets off with his friend and black dog. Along the way they meet up with somebody who they wouldn't have expected Chay! Who eventually goes along with Henry and black dog down the bumpy road to Mt. Katahdin. Between fighting and sharing heart braking stories Chay and Henry become friends.
This book left me guessing everyday I read a page. It shows how somebody who you consider your worse enemy can become you best friend just like that. I'm sure if you read this book you will be left guessing and wanting more every page you read.
I hope you Enjoy reading if you decide to.
