Good

This is another book I read in reading class. I thought this one was good.

This book is about Kenny and his brother Byron and how trouble Byron gets in.

Byron kisses his reflection in the car review mirror and gets his lips stuck to it. His mom has to pull him off the mirror. Byron also tease Kenny alot.

Byron's mom and dad are tierd of Byron getting into so much trouble so they send him to his grandma's because she is very strict. Right away when Byron is there he is more polite and calls his grandma Mam.

While Byron and his family was with his grandma the kids, Byron, Kenny and, Joey, went to the beach. Grandma told them not to go to Collier's landing because someone had drowned there. But Kenny wanted to go anyways but Byron said no so Kenny went by himself and he almost drowned but Byron saved him and they decided not to the adults about what happened.

A bad incident causes Byron and his family to leave early. One day everyone hears a loud bombing noise. Some one comes by the house to say that someone bombed the church Joey, Kenny and Byron's sister, is at. Joey luckily is O.K though. She was outside because it was to hot in the church. When she was out there she thought she saw Kenny, but it wasn't him, and she chased after him, so when the church got bombed she wasn't there.
