My Top 10 Books is
going to be a series of short book reviews on my top 10 favorite
books. I will be posting a review every two days.
The number ten book on
my list is written by Eloise McGraw. The Seventeenth Swap.
The Seventeenth Swap is
a book based in the mid 80's in a small town called Iron Mountain.
The main character, Eric Greene, is a kid who lives in a run down
apartment complex with his Dad. Every couple of days he watches a
boy, Jimmy, in another apartment room while Jimmy's mother is gone at
work. Jimmy needs someone to watch him because he's paralyzed and
can't walk.
One day while watching Jimmy he sees an ad for red
cowboy boots that are on sale for $17.99. Jimmy adores the boots and
says he would give anything for them. Right then Eric decides to find
a way to buy the boots for Jimmy. But only one problem, where is he
going to get $18?
This book is very well written and definitely a good
read for realistic fiction lovers. It has you wanting to turn the
pages to find out what happens next. And at 150 pages it doesn't take
a lot of time to read.
I would most definitely recommend this book. So if you
think that this would be a good book for you, click on this link,
and order it today! Or just go to your local Library!
