When the bough breaks is about a girl named Rachel that looses her dad in a car accident. Rachel had no idea what was going on until she got home from her friends house and saw that police cars were outside of her house with the light on.
From there everything has turned upside down, her mom is devastated and her brother, Ryan, starts to drink and do bad things. Then this guy, Mr. Ackerman shows up at her house and asks for her mom. Her mom is still in bed when she goes to get her so she invites Mr. Ackerman in. When the mom is up and out of bed she comes out and he stands up and he says that Ryan was in a fight with his son, Dillon, and that Ryan broke Dillon's cheekbone.
The book has a lot of surprises, they come so fast and with somewhat of a warning that the only thing to do is guess when they will happen.
If there was a scale from 1-10 on how good it was it was a 9. This book was very slow in the beginning but then it just got better and better as the chapters were read.
I really like this author. She also wrote The Secret Journal of Brett Colton. The books are published by Deseret Book so there's usually a religious element. She takes serious subjects that most teenagers can relate to, but she also adds a little romance. I would recommend any book by this author.
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds very thrilling! I like they way you describe how much you like the book.
ReplyDeletei had never heard of this book before, but i liked how you explained it, you made it sound really good.
ReplyDeleteI read this book when I was like ten and I loved it! I read it again when I saw our library had it:) But the whole romance thing with Dillon and Rachel is weird since they're like step-siblings.
