Review: Good Book - I read Seeing Red written by Kathryn Erskine. It was published by Scholastic Press, on September 24, 2013. I think that Seeing Red is a good book for 10-14 year olds to read. It is entertaining, and keeps you on the edge of your seat. There is also strong friendships that keep the book entertaining. I really enjoyed this book, and am happy I chose to read it! Seeing Red takes place in Rocky Gap, Virginia. There are four main characters in the book. First, Red Porter, a 12 year old red headed boy whose father just died. Red builds a strong bond with his friends Miss Georgia and Rosie throughout the book. Sadly Red’s friendship with his childhood friend, Thomas fades. Miss Georgia is an elderly black woman who is like a grandmother to Red. Whenever Red needs someone to talk to he always goes to her. Red’s best friend, Rosie, is one of the sweetest people in the town everyone loves her, but not everyone loves her father. Her father, Mr. Dunlop, is mean to his wife, beats his son Darrell, and he speaks horribly to Rosie and sometimes even hits her. The last character is an African American, Thomas, is a longtime friend of Red, but sadly their friendship fades throughout the book. Thomas and Red used to be best friends, but Thomas is two years older than Red, and has goals in life that involves him moving to D.C. The book starts right after Red’s father dies. Red’s mother wants to move the family to Ohio. Red doesn't want to move because his friends are like his family. They helped him get through his father's death. To keep the family from moving Red gets involved with the neighborhood gang, the “Brotherhood”. To prove his loyalty to the gang Red has to do some things that the KKK does like burning a cross. When Red burns the cross he thinks no one is watching, but the Brotherhood had a plan. They brought Thomas out from dark after Red burns the cross. After that night, Thomas doesn’t want to speak to Red anymore. School starts up again and Red gets in a fight. His punishment is to pack up the shop for the move. While cleaning out the shop Red finds something very interesting, a map. The map may lead to where the Freedom Church once stood. This church was started by Miss Georgia’s great grand daddy who was murdered soon after the the church opened. The church was burned down after that, and no one knows where it once stood or who killed Miss Georgia’s great grand daddy. The only thing that was left from the fire was a flat rock that was used as an altar. The church was built around this altar. Red is determined to find the church for Miss Georgia. I said in the beginning of the review that it is very entertaining, and keeps you on the edge of your seat. For example, in the book there are lots of questions that you have as you are reading. You have questions such as… Will Red find where the church once stood? Will he end up moving to Ohio? Can Red fix Thomas’s and his friendship? Who was really behind Miss Georgia’s great grand daddy’s murder? And why was he murdered? I also said that the book has strong friendships that keep you entertained. For example, Red is friends with his father’s assistant at the auto shop, Beau. This is friendship throughout the story that has twists and turns, and keeps you reading the book. You keep reading the book because you want to see if these friendships will last, and how they play a part in Red’s life. Kathryn Erskine has also written many other books such as Mockingbird, The Absolute Value of Mike, and Quaking. Mockingbird won the National Book Award, Quaking was the ALA Top Ten Quick Pick for Reluctant Readers, and the Absolute Value of Mike was an desertcart Best Book and ALA Notable Book. She is an amazing author with a lot of talent. Seeing Red is a great book! It keeps you on the edge of your seat. It was written by a great author with a lot of talent. I would rate this book a four, because it was very entertaining, but got a little boring during some parts. Overall, it was a good read, and I am happy I read it.
Review: A perfect book for the tween age group! - **Few moderate spoilers!** Seeing red is a book about facing your fears. The book was written by Kathryn Erskine in 2013 by Scholastic. She wrote books like Quaker and Mockingbird. I myself have read Mockingbird and if you enjoyed that one, then you should definitely read this one. I liked this book and would recommend it highly to the tween age group. It takes place in the small town of Stony Gap Virginia during a time of prominent racial divide. Red Porter lives with his widowed mother in a house next to a repair shop he and his friend Beau run fixing cars in the summer. Besides going to school and fixing up cars, he spent most of his time with his friend Thomas and Miss Georgia. Thomas is an African American kid one year older who loves nothing more than roaming wild with Thomas. They were two peas in a pod until time split them apart. Red finds that living without his beloved father and best friend is a recipe for disaster. His mother however is trying to find any way possible to move on from her husband’s death and unfortunately for Red, she plans on selling the house and moving out of Stony Gap. So in order to keep people from buying the house and leaving Stony Gap, Red turns to his bad side. He begins to hang out with a boy named Darrell, brother of his new best friend Rosie. Rosie and Darrell are Polar opposites, Rosie being the sweet one and Darrell being sour. Rosie and Darrell’s father is an abusive Confederate by heart who hates Red. Red tries spray painting the for sale sign, busting up the shop and painting bad words on the house. But his actions start to go far when he begins to hang out with Darrell’s whole gang, a group of white power teenagers. They get him to burn a cross and even hit Thomas when he is tied to a tree. Red never expected he would be with the people his father despised, but if he wants to stay in Stony Gap, then he will do whatever it takes.
