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.
