New Book!

Today I started reading, The Secrets at the Mall. I read from page one to page 32. This book tells the story of a twelve year old girl suffering through middle school. She has no friends or parents, and lives with her aunt who works all the time. One day a new kid came to her school. He was a sixth grader who got moved up into seventh grade because of his smart wits. He was faced with even more challenges though, being a short kid who had not gone through puberty. All of the "popular' boys in the seventh grade stuffed him in a locker. The girl new what pain the "new kid" was going through, and once the popular boys had left, she helped the new kid out of the locker. After that, they walked through town together and came across an abandoned house where mothers had been picketing against their childrens safety. There, the two explored the house until they heard the popular boys outside. The boys were going to make this house their clubhouse, until the little boy had thrown a brick at the popular boy leader, and yelled at him for throwing him in the locker. After the popular boys ran off, the new kid and the unknown girl round up 4 dollars and take a bus out of the town to get away from it all. I think the two will fall in love, but get found by their loved ones. I think then the boy will be sent back to his foster parents, where they decide to give him to another foster care facility.
