Fool's Gold

This book is a good story about true friendships, crushes and just live in general. I think that any person of any age would enjoy this book. If your looking for adventure then you might want to check out this book. It is very dangerous and exciting. So try and read this book in your spare time!

A must-read book for young and old readers alike.

This book was basically about friendship and making the right choices. I learned that if you make a choice that goes against your conscience, one must suffer the bitter consequences. In this book, two main characters were best friends, and they thought it would be that way forever. But when a new dare-devil boy came along, one of the boys went with his conscience, and the other went against it. The boy who went with his gut feelings, in a way, did the right thing, yet, in this case, he lost his only real friend to the rude boy, who had stomped in and destroyed the two boy's relationship. This book was very well-written, awesomely descriptive, and taught a very important lesson in the midst of a story packed with mystery, suspense, and an interesting, fast-paced plot. Yes, indeed, I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
