Silent Boy-An Amazing Book For Teens, and Adults
This book has a lot of happy parts and sad parts, but most were happy. I think this book should be read by kids older than 12 years of age. It has parts that are very hard to understand, like the part when the mentally disabled boy called Jacob is sent to the asylum. ...
