No Name by Tim Tingle, 160 pages
Bobby’s dad is really hard to live with. He drinks too much and when he drinks he gets
mean. He beats Bobby and sometimes he
really hurts him. When Bobby’s mom
leaves on a vacation from work, she doesn’t come back for a long time. Bobby decides to dig a hole in his backyard
and live in it. He covers it with a door
that he hides with leaves and stays there for a week, coming back to the house
for food and things while his dad is out.
Bobby loves his dad but he doesn’t feel safe and he doesn’t know if his
dad can change. This was a good book for
reluctant teen readers. It was pretty
simplistic and the resolution came about too easily but it was a decent story
and an easy read.
