Black Duck by Janet Taylor Lisle
Based on a true story, All of the Above is the delightful and suspenseful story of four inner city students and their quest to build the world's largest tetrahedron. Weaving together the different personal stories of the kids, their teacher, and the community that surrounds them, award-winning author Shelley Pearsall has written a vividly engaging story about the math, life and good-tasting barbecue. Filled with unexpected humor, poignant characters and quiet brilliance, All of the Above is a surprising gem.

I read black duck by Janet Taylor Lisle
ReplyDeleteThis book starts out in our time with a kid trying to become a reporter and is doing a story on when alcohol was illegal and he finds a guy who was a kid during that time. The story jumps into the 1920's and when the kid and his friend find a dead body that has a nice suit on they become suspicious and wonder if this man was on the black duck a boat that smuggles alcohol into the town. Will the black duck get caught?
My favorite part is when the kid sees the black duck being unloaded.
I recommend this book to anybody who likes suspense, mystery and/or history.
the book that I read was called Black Duck by Janet Taylor Lisle
ReplyDeletethis book is about a boy and his friend who stumble upon a dead body with a tobacco pouch and since the boys friend is the son of a police man he calls the police but then the boy realizes that the its bad to have a friend who's a son to a cop because he starts to get into some bad business.
my favorite part was when he gets caught by the mobsters.
my Opinion is that this book was good but not good for people who don't like semi slow books
9 out of 10
