Jake's Orphan

Rating:
Summary: Excellent choice for grades 6-8
Review: An IRA Children's Book Award winner, this is a wonderful novel of belonging and family. The book is very well written: authentic setting, engrossing story, and believable characters. Try this one to tempt boys who are reluctant readers.

Summary: One of the best books i have ever read
Review: I think this book was the greates book i have ever read. You can not put down the book.
it is about a boy named tree (because he does not know his own name) lives at the orphange for the first 12 years of his life. He went to live with mr., mrs., and jake gunderson. mr gunderson does not like tree because he is not like his own son gus. mr gunderson acts like tree is not a good boy. so he thinks tree is the worst "son" that a preson could ever have.
When tree was about to go back to the orphange, his little brother acron comes along.
I can not tell you the rest of the story because it might ruin the ending but i really recomend that you should read this book.
DO you think Tree and his little brother will find a home with the gonderson, ro not. If you want to find out what happenes read the book
