Luc doesn’t like to fight, but he’s a boxer anyways. People
come from all over to watch the boy giant box at the Woodrat Club. When a
stranger brings a kangaroo to the Woodrat Club, the owner makes the creature
box. When watching the kangaroo box makes him queasy, Luc becomes torn between
loyalty to the club and his conscience. Will Luc stand up for what’s right or
will he back down for the sake of the club?
The characters are realistic and relatable to The plot is
simple, but thought-provoking and fairly real to life. Reluctant readers who
are interested in boxing or kangaroos will enjoy reading this book. MS, HS.
