Gary Schmidt's book Trouble
Whenever a book makes me cry, I say it is good. Why? Because it contains characters that I care enough about to awaken my sympathy, and sometimes even my empathy. This is not a light-hearted romp. It begins with Henry's older brother lying in the hospital in a coma.
throughout the book, Henry must deal with his guilt, his anger, and his racism. He must learn to face reality. This book addresses real topics of forgiveness and hatred, love and hardships, how actions have consequences, and how trouble can never be avoided - it must be faced.
