Luke was There

This book is about a teenage boy whose mother is very sick and has to go to the hospital. His dad left him when he was young so he has no one to raise him, Julius, and his little brother, Danny. Julius and little brother Danny have to live in a foster home with a few other kids. Julius starts to think in the book about how he has a bad life. In school he stops trying and becomes a rude person. This is an great book to read if you are 12 or 13. It really makes you think about what you are thatnkful for. In my opion Eleanor Clymer writes in a style that makes you really interested in it and you won't want to put it down. It makes you feel like you are Julius and in the story you feel the same feelings Julius does.
