This book had two good stories in it, but it was disappointing mostly. I bought it expecting it to be a longer novel (it says it's a YA novel and it has 198 pages). It only took about an hour to read; it was more appropriate for kids in the third grade than kids in middle or high school. The reason it appears as...

In dem Viertel, durch das wir gerade rasten, waren die Häuser alt, schmal und schief. Sie erinnerten mich an faule Zähne in einem viel zu kleinen Kiefer. Die Straßen waren krumm, vor den Häusern lagen leere Dosen und zerrissene Plastiktüten. Kleine Kinder spielten barfuß im Dreck, obwohl es...
