You Really Won't Guess the End!

I first read this book when I was probably about 11. Since then I have read it 3 more times, and I still love it! Now I am fifteen, the same age as Joel Greenburg, the protagonist of this book(yes, 15-year-olds use the word protagonist, at least if you come from my school and were in my 8th grade English class). No one pays much attention to Joel, ever since his older brother JJ's book was put on the New York Times Best Sellers list. When JJ's ex girlfriend Marilyn is kidnapped, JJ doesn't seem to care much, but Joel sets out with his faithful dog, Sherlock, determined to find her. A lot of funny things happen along the way, and I'd be willing to bet you'll be surprised at the conclusion. This is the type of book that you can read in one day with no desire to put it down and no regrets after.

The Kidnapping!

The main subject in the story is that a women went to play a game of cards and lost $50,000.00. And the dry-cleaning place she goes to burnt down in the back, and the owners need $50,000.00. So the women plans the to be kidnapped by the dry-cleaning owners and ask for a ransom of $100,000.00. This is a great book!
