Justin decides to go to a sports based summer camp, the problem
is that he really isn’t into sports –especially swimming. Even when he realizes
he is having a horrible time, especially when he feels compelled to play the painful
game called knuckles, he persists. Justin eventually makes friends and finds a
bit of courage.
I actually thought this book was pretty whitty, but the
storyline was kind of torturous to read. Justin has a lot of insightful things to say,
but joining him for the much dreaded summer camp, every day, the whole summer
detailed, lots of pages –well I sort couldn’t wait until the ‘summer’ was over.
I think students will not enjoy reading about a boring summer, but I would love
to read more from this author in the future
-in a different genre or age bracket.
