Monster - Water Dean Myers
I just finished this book and highly recommend it for students in Room 16 & 17.
The character, Steve Harmon, a teenage boy, is on remand, while waiting for his verdict in court. He is on a charge of First Degree Murder. The Prosecution says that he was the 'lookout' in a robbery gone wrong. The Defence say that he wasn't there on the day that happened. Steve, who loves film, and has been studying it in his spare time (before the robbery), writes in a diary while in court and in jail, but his diary is written like a film script. As you read the story, you have to decide, is he guilty, did he do it, or is it a set up?
I really enjoyed this book, and the ending was not what I expected...
Reserve to today at the library.
Below is an interview with the author, and a book trailer to get you interested....
