A Good Book

I like the book Across The Grain, I think it really puts you in the book. It is about a boy who moves to the desert from Cali. I think it shows what some people go through when they move to a new area. It is a emotional but funny book. I'd give it five stars anyday!
Across the Grain was fantastic!

Across the Grain was a wonderful book about friendship, care, and fun. Will, Mike and Sam, become close friends, and share their creativity, hearts, and their lives. Through hard times and good times, they comfort each other and it will create a smile on your face. This is much like life and you will be amazed how the author wrote it like it was about her and her friends. I recommend it to teens in 7th, 8th or 9th grade.
A Really Great Book

I have read many books, and I thought this was good. It really showed how a friendship should be. I think Will matured through-out the book and became less focused on his sister, Paige. I wouldn't have changed anything about this book, and I recommend that you read it.
