Summary: Gardner Middle School,
Comment: Leroy had an incident with his friends who were in the gang. The gang killed an old lady by the name of Mrs. Carson. The police went to Leroys job at the Cafeteria to ask questions. The gang later broke into his house and told him not to tell the police. Leroy's mom decided to send him to his grandfathers house. There his gandfather taught him how to fish, work the route, use a CB radio, and drive the truck. He also met officer Greenhaw. Officer Greenhaw was the police who helped Leroy solve his problems. While he was in New Orleans he met his dad for the first time in 8 or 9 years. He was upset with his dad and his dad made him and offer to come live with him. Leroy's dad lived in New York City with another woman and an apartment.Leroy's dad
knew he was in trouble and wanted to help. Leroy said no, to his father's offer. His grandfather took Leroy to the store and bought Leroy a suit for the trial. Leroy went back to Chicago as a material witness.
I would recommend this book because it tells others what to do if they are ever in a incident like this one. It also helps people deal with their dad or mom if they have not seen him in a long time. My favorite part of the book is when Leroy learned how to drive a car and use the CB radio. - Brian K.

Summary: Gardner Middle School - Lansing, MI
Comment: In this book Leroy is a witness to a murder while he was getting off the elevator in the Hoover Housing Project. He decided to go and live with his grandpa. While he was with his grandfather, his grandfather taught him how to work as a fisherman and how to run the route. He also let him taste real New Orleans food. While he was there he met sheriff Greenhaw and had to go back to Chicago to be a witness. I would recommend this book because it was half way interesting. - Chris C.

Summary: Witness and Killer
Comment: What would you do when a murderer comes to your apartment and sees you see the murder that he just committed? Well, a17 year old boy was asking himself that very question when he came up the elevator and the doors opened. Shortly after Le Roy saw the murder he was sent to live with his grandpa. There he learned to be a fisherman, drive a car and work the fish delivery route his grandpa ran every day. After a while the police from Chicago had tracked down Le Roy. After that he was interrogated and called into the courts as a material witness.
I would not recommend this book because all it talks about was fishing and the murder. The story had a weak plot. The only people that I would recommend this book to is to someone that wants to fall asleep every time you start to read. It was very boring and I would not recommend it at all.
