Golden Boy

The book I am reading now is called Golden Boy. This is the second book I've read so far, I have read a book called Until We Meet Again and my current book. This is an interesting novel, it started off really boring and then Friday I was reading it and it got really good. I'm not going to spoil the book but I will share a little about what I have read so far. The main character is Habo, he is 13 years old and he has three older siblings. They live with their mother in Arusha. They have a farm and Habo keeps track of the sheep. Their mother was struggling and they had to leave their home so they traveled to Mwanza where their mother's sister lives. Habo was the "black sheep" of the family, Habo was different. He had white skin, yellow hair and light colored eyes. That's why his sister Asu called him "golden boy". His brothers barely talked to him and his mother rarely looked at him because he was different. In Mwanza they called people like Habo albinos and albinos were "good luck". Well at least their body parts are good luck. This is all I'm going to share about my story, I would recommend  this book to people who like mysterious books.

    "Albino" is a word in Spanish too, which is used to describe people with really light skin and light eye/hair color. I don't understand why his mom acts like that with him. I mean...it doesn't matter if he's different, he's still her son. I like the way you described how things are for Habo so far. Good post!

Book Character

The character I decided to write about is Darcy from the book " Until We Meet Again" .  She is the older sister of Jamee, they both go to BluFord High.  She is a junior at BluFord High. Darcy had a boyfriend named Hakeem but their relationship ended because his dad had cancer and they had to move to Detroit.  It was an upsetting time for her but she was understanding about his situation. Darcy and her grandmother had a very close bond in the story. Her grandma died towards the end of the story, she felt as if she could tell her grandma everything even ask for advise.  Darcy wanted to get a summer job to keep her mind off Hakeem. She became a babysitter for an old friend named Liselle. Darcy was a kind girl, she didn't like to lie or say no to people, and her focus was on school. She always studied for her tests, if she knew she had to study but her friends asked her to go out she would choose studying over hanging out. I'd say Darcy set a good example for her younger

My Character

The character I'm going to talk about is Darrell from the book The Bully. I chose this character because he really caught my eye when I was reading this book. I know he is the main character in the book but I liked his actions. Darrell was one of those quiet kids that keep to themselves. Darrell was a new kid at BluFord high, and he got bullied. Darrell would always try and avoid his bully but they always ran into each other. Darrell was a nice friendly kid, he was not mean at all. Darrell was anti-social he didn't make that many friends at his new school. Darrell joined the wrestling team at his school, it was his first sport in that school. He was a very skinny and small teenager. Darrell had about two fight for wrestling, Darrell also stood up for himself and fought his bully and his bully got hurt. After that Darrell didn't get bullied again.
