When a boy named Roy Eberheart moves to Coconut Cove, FL, he thinks his life is doomed. One day on the bus ride to school, Roy finds himself faced against the bus window being pushed by Dana Matherson, the worst bully in school. To a lot of kids that would appear like bad luck, but for Roy, if it weren’t for Dana he wouldn’t have seen the strange running boy who was shoeless, with no back-pack, and wearing dirty old stained clothes. After a couple of days of thinking, and seeing the odd boy, Roy decides to follow him to wherever he may go. But as usual, things go from good to not-s0-good. After a couple of weeks without seeing the strange boy, Roy was just about to give up on ever finding out out who the mysterious boy was. Then one day, as Roy was sitting on the bus looking at his comic books, he looked out the window, and to his disbelief, on the other side of the road was…the running boy! After that sighting of the odd boy, Roy knew there was still hope to find and talk to him. After some more weeks passed, Beatrice Leep, one of Roy’s new friends, tells Roy what she knows about Mullet Fingers (the mystery boy), and what she tells him is a bit surprising. This is a great book about friendship and standing up for what you know is right. You might even learn a thing or two about burrowing owls. Review by Olivia
In this book, two girls named Sam and Sophia Shattenberg are forced to run away fromt heir home after their father dies and they are only left with their stepmother, Enid. Enid is going to inherit all the money that their parents had and is going to send Sophie to boarding school. The two sisters cannot bear to be apart from each other for that long, so they decide to run away. But, it’s not that easy. In order to not be found, they need to go from Queens, New York, to Venice, Indiana. There they meet Delfriggio, who is another big part of not being discovered. He helps with tips on not being discovered. Felix back in Queens makes them fake ID’s, birth certificates and driver’s license. In Venice, there is the big Rose Parade and there is a Rose Parade Queen. The Queen of the Rose Parade was going to be Noelle McBride, but she has gone missing! The night before, Sam and Sophie had given Noelle a ride home from karaoke. No one had seen her since, so Sophie or “Fiona” and Sam “Scott” are the prime suspects! Normally it would still be a problem, but it’s an even bigger problem for Sam and “Fiona.” That’s because if the police find out too much information about them, the police could send Sophie and Sam back to Queens and Sophie would still have to go to boarding school, never mind all the trouble they would be in. There are many accusations, drama with boyfriends, love, and more. Eventually, they are free of the possible murder because they actually solve the mystery. Review shortened to avoid SPOILER!
