3.5 stars.
It started off strong and I loved all the characters, especially the boys, Fish and Bread. Those nicknames didn't impress me, though. That type of thing with names always seems gimmicky to me. The boys run away after taking the law into their own hands, and it's off to the woods and a dangerous river to start their long journey. Soon half the town is in the woods or on the river looking for the boys. After a while I was drifting away from the story. It became repetitive and uneven; fel ...more

Two young preteen boys - Fish and Bread - take to the woods after believing they killed a man. The unfolding story is about the search party and rescue of the kids. Besides the two boys, the other main character is the Sheriff and the story details how he changes during this rescue effort.
For me this was an okay book. It was simple, superficial and a contrast to the historical or nonfiction books that I have been reading. Reading this caused little effort, really made no statement or inf ...more

I feel like the book Gods have blessed me for some reason this year. Another great book! And I believe this is the authors debut so hats off to him. This is the story of two 10 year old boys who are summertime friends. “Bread” lives in a sleepy farm town in Wisconsin with his dad and “Fish” comes to town every year to spend the summer with his grandfather. Over the last few years they have become best friends. One night a tragic event has them fleeing into the woods to escape a punishment they a

A book about two friends that are dedicated to each other. There are secrets involved, but this is a great story of friendship, family, courage, survival, and dedication. To me this felt like part "Lord of the Flies" and part "This Tender Land". I enjoyed the characters (at least most of them) as well as the twists and turns of the book. 4/5 stars.
