Williams, Suzanne Morgan. Margaret McElderry Books, 2009 [1+4169-6130-5 / 978-1-4169-6130-7] Cam lives for his skateboard and his older brother, Ben, is championship bull rider. Ben goes of to war in Iraq and comes back after being terrible wounded by an I.E.D. The family pulls together to try and help Ben. Although he is too young, Cam hatches a plan to secretly ride a nasty bull in a contest (while being underage) to help his brother. His mother will get very mad if she finds out he is riding bulls. This 241 page book is the story of a family sticking together to help one of its own. The reader learns what it is like to be a wounded war vet. I liked most of the the ending, all except one part, which I will let you read to find out. This is a good book. -- Frederick Muller, Librarian Halsted Middle School Library Newton, NJ mullinator52@gmail.com My book reviews are compiled at http://www.mullersreviews.com My book review blog is at http://MullerInTheMiddle.blogspot.com -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
