Review

This is book 7 of the Guys Read Library of Great Reading. In the 10 new original stories there is much adventure, well illustrated comics, and some non-fiction too! The included writers are: Laura Halse Anderson, Cathy Camper and Raul Gonzalez, Sharon Creech, Jack Gantos, Christopher Healy, Deborah Hopkinson, Ingrid Law, Pam Munoz Ryan, Lemony Snicket, and Eugene Yelchin. There are stories of a Mexican family trying to cross into the US but get caught, a couple of girls being middle school warriors at the ready to help where they can, and a scary graphic story! All the stories are great reads with lots of variation, yet keeps with the general theme. A great addition to any library.

Overall Book Score: very good
