Review: The Secret Of The Junkyard Shadow

This book is a chapter book that contains appropriate age fitting vocabulary for children aged 8 to 12 year olds. Stolen Children contained no illustrations, having pictures throughout the book would have helped me understand the story line better. This book was very interesting and lead the reader to stay on their toes. There were 5 main characters in this book they were Amy who was the babysitter, Kendra the 3 year old girl, Smokey one of the kidnappers and Hugh another kidnapper. The main conflict of this book was when the girls (Amy and Kendra) had gotten kidnapped and were missing for a week. the setting of this book takes place in an old run down cabin that is in the middle of the woods. In the book, Peg Kehert wrote clues that Amy the character who plays the role as the babysitter gives off throughout the story.

People who enjoy realistic-fiction novels that include sibling rivalry, sports, making life changes, and the tension of a dysfunctional family environment will be interested in reading this journal writing from the first person perspective of Paul Fisher. This novel includes characteristics of middle school encounters ; therefor, ages 10 and up will appreciate this

My name is Taylor Howell and I attend Sanford High school in Hockessin, Delaware. I have just recently read one of your top novels Foul Trouble. Foul Trouble was such a suspenseful book but yet a life lesson teaching novel that I would encourage any teenager to read. Foul Trouble was about a star basketball player named Terrell Jamerson. He is one of the best in the nation for high school basketball with his teammate and best friend Danny Wilcox who is also shining with him but feels not appreciated. They try to get through the popularity and the gates of being caught with narcotics this could make Terrell and Danny not eligible to be recruited by colleges and change their lives for the worst. However, Danny is caught in the shadows of Terrell and it makes Danny feel as though he is not as important as Terrell on the court. I was looking for a book that would teach life lessons and also have a very vigorous climax and foul trouble was the perfect match. I would never have thought that Foul Trouble would have that powerful of an effect on me as it did and how that one false step could change your whole career.
