This week, i discoverd the book The boy who dared while i was looking for a book. It's a book about a Natzi prisoner who is a German. He grew up in a city called hamburg. So far, he is having a memory about how he grew up. SO far, his mom has been married to a German soldier who is forcing him to join the Hitler youth group. I havent got that far into the book, so keep looking at my page for more.

Last week, i finished reading parrot in the oven. In the end i thought it was an alright book, although it had no plot. For example, it went from manny's grandmother dying to a boxing match. Although, for all I know (which isnt alot), it could be a collection of short stories. But unless anyone reads the book and proves me wrong (hint hint), than im sticking with a book with no plot. I also didnt get the point of the gang. So manny was unpopluar, and turns to a gang, it just doenst make very much sense to me. And then manny starts to walk up to the mall with a fellow gang member, his friend steals a purse, and runs away. See what i mean about the no plot part?

Parrot in the Oven-1

A few days ago, I choose the book "Parrot in the Oven" at random. I'm only twenty or so pages in, but it seems like a good book. The main charecter (Manny) is a twelve year old boy with a brother named Bernardo (Nardo). All Nardo does is weight lifting, which his father doesnt aprove of. Manny comes from a poor family of illeagal imigrants from mexico. Their family is so poor, in fact that thir father has a saying for them, "People are like money, some people are a thousand dolla bills, and they get by just fine. It's the same for hundred, ten, five, and one dollar bill people. But below that, people are dimes and nickles. We are pennys." When Manny goes by a sports shop, he sees a nice looking baseball glove. All though he doesn't have any money, he is determined to get that glove. But to get the money he has to go to a pepper picking field with his brother. Although his brother comes, the manager sends them to a un-watered field. But them they are picking, the immagration controll. They catch Manny and Nardo, so they can collect all the other picked peppers.
