Summary: The Boy in the Burning House
Comment: The Boy in the Burning House
By Tim Wynne-Jones
Summary:
Two years after his father mysteriously disappeared, Jim Hawkins' life is leading toward uncertainty and grief. He then meats this moody, punky stepdaughter of Father Fisher. She was known as Ruth Rose. She shocks him by telling him that his stepfather is a murderer. Jim of course was in denial, but Ruth Rose asks him this question, and that was all to arouse Jim's suspicion. In spite of his fear, he wants Rose to tell him the truth. As Jim gets closer to the truth everyday, danger is also closing in. Jim then must decide if this is worth it. Should he risk his life and find out what happened to his father or should he keep a sacred memory?
Why I liked this book:
I'm not very used to reading books about killing. I never would have thought it would be crime. It has been a long time for me when I have read a crime book, and it just sounded good to me. The books I'm used to are all science fiction, and it really has good suspense like "Don't you want to know who he murdered?" or when somebody sprayed these words "Father killed Hub" in anger red. It's just like an entire new taste to me when I was reading that crazy scaring book.
My favorite part of the book:
It was really at the end when Jim was captured, and had to escape out a mysterious, maze-like cave. I had predicted that Jim would get out of course, and would be like those good ending books. One thing that aroused my attention though was the action in the air. It had so many turns I was confused, but I really liked it even though I had to read it twice. This book took the breath out of me!

Summary: Boy in the Burning House Lights the Pages
Comment: The Boy in the Burning House is what you would call a "junior mystery". A small murder that grabs your attention, but doesn't "scare you silly". This 215-page book is a great young readers novel. Good ages to read this book are from ages 11 to 14. Teenagers and adults, I don't recommend this book to you. The Boy in the Burning House really grabs your attention and keeps you asking "What is going to happen next?". I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a good mystery, and is in between ages 11 and 14. I give this book four-stars because it was a good well-written book. Tim Wynne-Jones is a talented author who knows how to get young people reading. I would recommend his other books, including, The Maestro, Stephen Fair, Lord of the Fries and Other Stories.
