Title: Of Things Not Seen
Author: Don, Acker
This book is Don Acker's very first novel that he wrote for young adults. The main character is named Ben Corbrett. His stepfather is a heavy drinker and is a big problem for Ben and his mother. He keeps his problems at home a secret because he is in fear of losing everything (like his girlfriend). He even declines a chance of a lifetime. When his english teacher Mr. Lewis tell him he has been chosen to go to the Summer Institute for Young Writers he declines. After this happened, Mr. Lewis gets very concerned and so does his girlfriend Ann. This story tells the tale of Ben's life.
A really good book. a bunch of action. put together extremely well. It made me wish I could travel into the book and help Ben. I would read over 40 pages at a time. I finished it in one weekend (2 days)! I got really into the book as I could picture most things in my head.

Sounds good! Do you know how old Dan Acker
ReplyDeletewas when he wrote this book? Just wondering, as
this was his first book.
Again poorly written, and again a review that sounds as if it's done by a twelve year old.
