Bullies in the Headlights

I just finished Bullies in the Headlights.   This was the sequel to Chickens in the Headlights.   Again this book follows the travels of the Buckley brothers, told from Matthew's perspective.  This book is more heartwarming than I thought it would be.  The story involves the trials that arise from the being bullied by the Hagbarts.  Matthew makes a new friend named Allen and with him the adventures rise to a whole new level.  This book actually taught me a lot and I feel somewhat of a better person from the things I learned from reading this book.  I would definitely recommend this for all ages to read.

Chickens in the Headlights

I was able to finish reading Chickens in the Headlights on Saturday night.  I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would.  The basic story line is about a family consisting of seven rowdy boys under the age of ten.  During summer vacation, the parents decide to teach their boys the value of work by getting chickens for the boys to take care of.  Of course, this adventure is much more than they planned on.  The story is told from the perspective of Matthew, the second of the seven boys.  Along with his brothers Simon, Peter, John, Jacob, Christopher, and Robin, they get into some of the funniest adventures.  People of all ages will enjoy this book especially those who have grown up with siblings, boys or girls.  Awesome read and fairly quick and simple.

Welcome!

For those of you who are not familiar with me in my younger years... I have always had an addiction to reading.  My grandpa Atwood was an elementary school principal who from a very early age instilled in me the importance of an education.  Things were only made worse when at the age of three, my parent's discovered I could read and had not just memorized the books we already had.  From then on, I have been reading like a madman.  I love reading and always have a few books on my long list to read.  My hope is that by creating this blog, I can hopefully keep better track of the books I've read and not waste time rereading.  Anyway, it's late but I guess all I can say is welcome to my world of books!
