Summary: High Praise Deserved
Comment: Bauer, Marion Dane. (1986). On My Honor. Bantam Doubleday Dell Publishing New York. This was what I would call a tremendous quick read because you could just go right with Joel, who is twelve and on a bicycle trip with his reckless best friend, Tony. You are just hooked as soon as the plot begins to thicken, when Tony stops at the river and suggests a swim and the boys argue you can just so relate, and then on a dare both boys try to swim to an island in the middle. Without disclosing too much of the actual details, this book is just magnetic, because the plot heightens to the point of tears. It is an emotionally strong story simply told all in one day's time. The realistic portrayal of a grieving boy's conscience evolves you to be sympathetic for the father and son. This plot escalates to anger, fear, and personal loss and would be a great read for any young person with emotion and heart.

Summary: Powerful, moving, and haunting
Comment: The first time I ever read this book, I was in graduate school studying to become a librarian. We had to read a book a night, and up until my experience in grad. school, I'd been the reader of only romance and mystery novels. I read this book in about two hours, and I was extremely moved. WOW. Now it's 5 years later, and I just read this book to my 5/6 grade students. It has been the only book that we've read this year that the kids have TRULY enjoyed. I had students telling me that they really wanted to read after reading this. I had students that wanted to buy the book. It is an excellent story which helps students understand peer pressure, character values, and making the right choice. Bauer's portrayal of Joel's guilt using the stench of the river is absolutely brillant. I highly reccommend this book to all teachers and librarians of young adults.
