The book that I read was named Tears of a tiger by Sharon
Draper. This book was on a troubled teen going through rough times over a
horrible, horrible tragic accident that he can’t get over. Andy is the
character’s name and he feels as if his friend’s death is his entire fault, and
his father doesn’t seem to make it any better on him. Other books you might
want to read by Sharon Draper are November Blues which is a great book on a
young teen who becomes a mother surprisingly out of nowhere. Forged by Fire is
about a young man that has a father that constantly beats on him over petty
little things.
The big fact of the story that I think you should know is
there was a huge car accident with four young men in the car, the names of the
young men in the car are Rob, Andy, Gerald, and BJ. But this book Tears of a
Tiger is just telling how Andy is coping with the situation, if want to hear on
how the others are doing there is one book named Forged by the Fire it tells
how Gerald is taking all of this and also other troubled things he is going
through.
I recommend this book to young men who drink or young teens
who drink while driving and think that it’s ok and nothing will ever happen.
This is an issue for everyday teens. This isn’t for everyone to me mostly for
teens and young adults. This book is a great book for those who lost a friend
to drinking and blame there selves, for those who deal with a trauma of losing
a friend or those who just like reading realistic fiction from time to time. It’s
a great book for those who are understanding.
