Hoppergrass by Chris Carlton Brown***** stars
Hoppergrass is a stand alone book that teaches kids what it is like in an institution where there are kids who had parents who could not take care of them and it affected them throughout their lives causing them to make bad decisions. They now have to learn from what they did and be punished for it.
Bowser, the main character is new to the other boys in the story. The other boys think he is different coming from a nice wealthy family, but Bowser has also done things they have done. At the beginning of the book not much thrill happens. In my opinion, you must be patient when you read this book to wait for the excitement of it.
When you pick up this book, you wont be able to put it down. It will have you tired in the morning because you stayed up all night. The genre of this book would be teen angst and the dialogue can be a little gritty but how else would these kind of kids talk? Bowser isn’t friends with many of the boys except one, and his name is Nose. When one of the boys is killed in an accident and it looks like Nose is going to be made a scapegoat for the death, it’s up to Bowser, crazy or not, to stand up for the truth.
The author of this book is Chris Carlton Brown. Hoppergrass is by far his best book. If you like books that really make you think, I think you should choose this one. It is full of excitement.
