Summary: 7 TH GRADER FROM JOHNSON MIDDLE SCHOOL
Review: The book what daddy did was a true story about a boy named Preston who had the perfect life and family, but then his parents began having arguments and fought all the time until one day his father mother moved out. Preston went to live with his dad and with in a few month time period his dad could no longer handle the pressure and had a nervous break down ... he shot his wife and left Preston not knowing whether to forgive and forget or not. His father has just been released from prison after three years after the murder and Preston begins his battle of forgiveness.
I like this book because it was suspenseful, the book was very emotional, and you felt as though you were right there along with Preston and his family as they got the terrifying news. This is a catchy book and I know you will not want to put it down.
People who like suspense and thrill would be the people who would enjoy reading this book, and it has that love of a family feel to it, for those readers who do not appreciate the death as much, so it is a great book for anyone.
This book includes everything anyone would want to read!

Summary: "An emotional, and Mesmerizing story"
Review: What Daddy Did By: Neal Shusterman ISBN#: 0-316-78906-2 This is a novel that tells the experience of Preston Scott and the changes he went through, his struggles and trials. It rides your emotions like a rollercoaster and grips your heart painfully. Preston was a young boy. Everything was normal and perfect for him.. But then his parents got a divorce. Torn between the two, he eventually decides to live with his dad. Something is wrong with his dad, but Preston decides not to think too much about it, until his grandmother tells him the dreadful words one evening. "You can't be with your dad.... because it's your dad who killed your mom." When his father gets out of jail, Preston has to learn the meaning of forgiveness and love. We can all learn a lesson from Preston. I reccommend this book to people of all ages, because everyone needs to learn about forgiveness & love. Written by Courtney Slade 1-5-99
