Cotton in my Sack

Cotton in my Sack written by Lois Lenski is not a very good book. The characters are not very well developed and when you're half way through the book, you can't really tell what it's about. It's pretty much put together with little events that don't really matter. But I guess it's about how everybody owes debt to everybody. Not very interesting. I would describe it as a peanut butter and jelly sandwich without any peanut butter or jelly. Just the bread and that doesn't taste as good. I wouldn't recommend this book because if you pick it up you will probably find yourself abandoning it.

Schooled by Gordon Korman

      Capricorn Anderson has a far from normal life. He lives on a plantation with only his hippie grandmother, "Rain." He is convinced once you step off the land you will be sucked into the money-centered world, where you can never return to your normal life. Once Rain falls off a tree branch and breaks her hip, the story starts to unravel, and pick up the pace.

      Schooled by Gordon Korman is a very interesting and quick book. Each chapter is told from a different character's point of view, which makes it hard to understand. I would definitely recommend this book to readers who enjoy a book out of the ordinary, different from your normal day-to-day book.
