I read the book, Notes From the Midnight Driver, by Jordan Sonnenblick. This book is about a 16 year old boy who has to do community service because of drunk and underage driving. He gets assigned to help an old man, Sol, who is living in a old folks home. Alex is supposed to make Sol happy, but he has no idea how. When Alex brings in his guitar to play for Sol, he learns that Sol used to play concerts every weekend. Alex decides that they should do a concert together. He learns a lot about music from Sol. I think this book is very good. I really like all the details and how the book makes feel like you are in the story. An example is when Alex visits Sol in the senior home, you feel like you could join the conversation and hang out with them. An internal conflict in the book is when Alex creates a band with a pianist and a drummer. Alex feels like he will never be as good as they are, and that he shouldn't play in the concert they were planning. An external conflict in the book is when Alex's friend, Laurie, gets in a fight with her mom because her mom is pregnant but Laurie isn't happy about it. Another external conflict is that Alex has drunk driving on his record, and has to fulfill his community service. This is a realistic fiction book because all the events that happen in it could happen in real life. This book is good for anyone to read, especially if you play in a band, or like stories about helping the elderly. I thought it was a good story and I think most people would think so too!

my favorites are book 1 and 3

MY ultimate fav series!!! It's so dramatic, funny, suspenseful, full of magic and action! Couldn't stop turning pages!!!

This book is amazing! If you are a foster child and a very active reader you should really read this book. It is very inspiring.

I love this book, it is the best book ever B)

It was a great mystery book.

It was a great story,and I like castaway stuff,like sharks!

I recommended this book because it is adventures and romance three musketeers struggle to save the queen's honor and thwart the evil schemes of powerful cardinal Richelieu and his murderous spies

This book looks like it is inspired by Bethany Hamilton who lost her arm from a shark. Read the book and watch the movie. They are both called Soul Surfer.

I want to read this book very badly for the first book showed me that some things are really exciting while others just got pushed down in the mud because these books knocked the socks off their feet.
