The Boy Who Dared

     The book,  The Boy who Dared, was a really good book, this was one of the books that I would not want to put down. The memorable part was when the author gave flash forwards to hook the reader throughout the story.  One flashback was, "Noon. The small window in the cell door slides open again. A bowl of watery cabbage soup is shoved through. the soup is possible to eat if he doesn't  stop to smell it, doesn't stop to think about is grandmother's soup, her thick beef-and-barley soup, and the crusty bread bread to sop up the hearty broth. He longs for a letter. He'd surely trade soup for a letter. He misses his family terribly, so terribly he aches. He knows he has caused them much sorrow, much hardship, Especially Gerhad, That he regrets, and only that. He gulps the thin soup." This flash forward means that he is in a dark cell. I predict he has been in their for a long time because it says he misses his family so very much. The author Susan Campbell Bartoletti did a really good job with these flash forwards, and the book in general.
