Hole in My Life
My book was about a kid Jack Gantos who moves down to St. Croix after living in Florida. He moves down there with his parents who think they will make more money down there. The story goes wrong when he lives in Florida because he was living with family friends and they let him do what he wanted so he started smoking and drinking and other stuff. So then the family friends got sick of his bad behavior and sent him to live with his parents in St. Croix with his actual parents while he was down there he worked at making box for shipping stuff in. one day a guy asked him to make a box with a secret portal for shipping hash in after he built him the box the man asked him if he wanted to sail to the NY and sail hash all the way there and jack said yes because he was going to make 10 thousand dollars. So Jack sailed with a man named Hamilton when they got to NY they started to distribute this drug called hash. When they sold it all the cops arrested all three men (Hamilton, Jack, and the guy who's hash it was). Jack spent a few years in prison and applied to college to get out of prison this idea worked and then Jack proceeded to become a good citizen.
I liked this book because the print was big and the paragraphs were short. I really liked this book because of the style of Jack Gantos's writing, it made the book speed along and it made me feel like I wanted to know what would happen next. This book kept me on my toes and showed me what could happen to my life depending on the decisions that I make along the way.

Chris, this sounds like a very interesting book. It seems like this is a theme that you enjoy reading about... am I correct? The writing style can make or break a book, so I am happy that you felt his style made the book move along and made you anticipate the next events. There is nothing worse than a slow book (and little print, long paragraphs). Nice job!
