THREE LEGGED RACE

The books name is "Three Legged Race" The author's name is "Charles P. Crawford" the book is called Three Legged Race because it is about three kids who help each other get trough the pain of their accident. Also because Kirk said "This is like a Three Legged Race" and that you need somebody to get to the finish line.

I Brent had an accident going in through a trapdoor. It was in the summer when it happened. My family took me to the hospital; I don't think the hospital was a good summer vacation, I found a friend called Kirk he is very cool, he is also very funny. Then I found another friend named Amy, I think I am very dynamic. My major conflict is my accident and having to go to the hospital.

My friends Amy and Kirk and me start to tap about our parts. Also start to make up some crazy ideas to make the future more interesting then we become a team and felt the truth of Kirk's comment. He said "it is like a three legged race," I think you can't make it to the finish line by yourself. Then we all were having so much fun we forgot we were in a hospital. Then we couldn't see the future ahead.

I think you should read this book because it talks about friendship. Also because it talks about how "you can't make it to the finish line by yourself" and how "It is a Three Legged Race". This also talks about how friends help you get trough the tough and tough times. This is a very very good book it helps you find the real you and explains how real life and how reality is, get this book in stores and read it you will be amazed.

The conclusion of the story is that they helped each other get past their feelings. Also that they all got to get out of the hospital and didn't have to stay in hospital anymore.

I love Mr. Crawford. His writing is groovy and stimulating. He makes me want to read Harry Potter. But I like to play with my goldfish. I have Met Mr. Crawford,he was amazing in the arts of eating food. I love Mr. cRawford.

My Summary:
This book is about three boys, Chad, B.J. and Toad. They plan little crimes for practice. If they succeed in the practice, they will plan a big crime. Though originally they were not supposed to actually carry out the crime. They leave letters anonymously to their hated teacher MR. Patterson. The letters are demands for money . If he does not give them the money, they will give a letter to the school board sent from one of his Navy friends. It says that he cracks under pressure and he had a military background. This little joke is getting bigger and bigger. They are ruining this poor man's life and are committing some serious crimes. Will these kids get caught? What will the teacher do about it? Read this book to find out.

It is a pretty good book. Some language may not be appropriate for young readers.

This is a great book about 3 bored kids who want to put some excitement into their lives. They start doing little crimes, which get bigger, and bigger and bigger . . . Now it's way over their heads. The person who tells the story, who is one of the trio, isn't sure he likes whats going on. What would you do if you had to chose between friends, and what might ruin you forever.

I read this book when I was 11 years old. I'm 27 now. It stuck with me for so many years that I read it again as an adult.

Although the story might be a bit dated for the 90's, the author conveys a sense of morality, consequences and compassion. A great read for pre teens!
