By Stacy McAnulty
When we were in school, their always was that joker who loved to tease us bookworms for our love of reading! Their always was that annoying person who almost made us blow our tops when they insult our favorite books.I have long disliked such people, but reading this book made me think maybe their was more to their story.I loved how this book made me think in more than just one perspective. It opened my eyes. I will never love these characters, but I will love this story! Stacy McAnulty is trying to show us everyone has a story. Circumstances that shaped them. Not everything is as it seems.
Benji Porter was always the popular kid. Rich, funny and daring, everyone adored him.Yet, behind that plastic smile was pain. He never seemed good enough for his father, a stubborn, rich businessmen. He always was the disappointment. Felix Rannells was the golden child. Quiet, smart,thoughtful and kind, he always had to work for what he got. He never knew his father, and his mother and sister worked very hard to support their family. Felix never knew a privileged life and never took anything for granted. But when on a field trip, the two boys least likely to get along partnered up. However, when they find a billionaires wallet, their whole lives change.When they return the money to the owner, Laura Friendly, she gives them a challenge.Sadly, when this challenge starts too feel impossible, will these two boys fall victim to their own lives?
Stacy McAnulty aspired to show how families can shape us. We are always a part of our families, no matter how far we try to get away. We will always be the same flesh and blood. But we will not always share the same heart. Families are different, but each and every one is special.
