Bo & Mzzz Mad

Rating:
Summary: Attention Getting
Review: This is a great fast moving book. It grabs your attention in thefirst paragraph at the bus stop. Bo & Mzzz Mad, written by Sid Fleischman, is set in a ghost town called Queen of Sheba in the California desert. The town is occupied by three of his only known living relatives running the Queen of Sheba Hotel. The main character, Bo Gamage, runs away after his father dies to avoid going to a foster home and ends up in this remote,barren desert town, Queen of Sheba. As soon as Bo arrives he meets the relatives. He takes an instant dislike to his 13 year old cousin Mad (Madeline). He really likes Aunt Juna, and feels unwelcomed by Charlie, Mad's grandpa. Not only does he have to deal with strange relatives on his arrival but his stay turns adventurous because of a couple on a crime spree. This book is very descriptive, fast moving, easy to read,and engaging. It shows the importance of family and how they are there if you need them.
