The Green

Excellent, excellent read. This book is packed-full of authentic emotion professionally delivered by a talented author. Not often is it so easy to identify with a main character and wish for their success. Perfect for the adolescent or any aged reader.

An Inspiration To Us All

I just read this amazing book last week. I'm probably not the intended audience (I am 25 years old), but I was thoroughly entertained and inspired nonetheless! Whether you are a child or adult, the story of Jason Green reinforces the power of friendship in our lives. And it reminds us how important honesty is, with ourselves and others.Many congratulations are due to Justin Reichman for writing such an inspired story! I'm ready for the next!

Excellent and Positive Story

It's inspiring to read a book for young adults that's as well written as "The Green". I was incredibly pleased to find such a talented author devoting his time and energy to this unusually creative tale. Justin Reichman set this wonderful coming of age story against the backdrop of a Washington State Golf Camp. He captures what can often be an awkward time of soul searching with above average prose and understanding. The author has done young readers a great service by treating them intelligently and providing them with this positive and thoughtful book. "The Green" concludes with a series of thoughtful reading comprehention questions and essay ideas, a great asset to parents, teachers, and readers alike. Educators have called Justin Reichman the heir apparent to Judy Bloom. After reading, "The Green", I agree. He is one of, if not the premier, young adult author writing today.

A marvelous book for everyone who is young at heart...

As a mom, educator and counselor, I am overwhelmed by this book. It is a witty and delightful coming of age story about a young man who teaches us a valuable life lesson .... it makes us think about the cost of being with the "popular kids"..... a universal issue. This book touches the heart strings of kids (younger and older than junior high) and adults alike. The guided questions lend itself to being in school libraries and classrooms. By discussion, readers can clarify their beliefs in a fun and interesting manner. This book is not judgmental, preachy or moralizing ... it merely teaches through the eyes of an unforgettable character ... Jason Green.For this holiday season, I cannot endorse this book enough.

I love Jason Green

This book is an excellent and funny read. My favorite part is the main character, Jason Green. His voice is wry and sassy and full of keen observations about the world around him. Jason certainly has his own particualr point of view. Jason's character is written with real human feelings and a voice that will teach you about golf, friendship, loyalty, physical fitness and most of all about being true to yourself during the often painfull process of adolescent self discovery. This book is a touching and worthwile read, especially for the young adult with a sense of humor. It is also a fantastic teaching resource for the 5th grade (I know a 5th gread teacher using it in his classroom this year...) -Erin
