The Hunchback Assignments by Arthur Slade

Slade, Arthur The Hunchback Assignments, 278 pgs. Wendy Lamb Books, 2009. Language - G, Sexual Content - G; Violence - PG; Mr. Socrates took in Modo when he was little and has been training Modo--without Modo's knowledge--to help him. When Mr. Socrates leaves Modo in the middle of an unfamiliar place as a test, Modo learns to adapt and gets himself ready to accomplish the tasks that Mr. Socrates has planned for him. I couldn't put this book down. I loved the mystery that's incorporated into every page and I loved everything about Modo. MS, HS - OPTIONAL. Reviewer: CCH
