Summary: Four Miles to Pinecone
Comment: Minnesota author John Hassler uses Four Miles to Pinecone as an allegory to itself. He opens by stating summer is over then proceeds to tell a tale of growing up and making decisions of one particular summer. In the end, the book becomes its own forty-seven page assignment (and then some) as described in the early chapters. Hassler weaves an intricate tale using metaphors along the way. Particularly poignant is the main characters inability to use a manual transmission on a car. Hassler writes how he often gets stuck in one gear due to unfamiliarity with a clutch. This is a metaphor for his character's inablity to change gears in his life. He insists on working in a grocery store, and plans to do so forever (so it seems), or how he cannot turn in his friend whose become a burglar.
The is a very well-thought and developed story line. It is an older work by an accomplished author, but is worth reading nonetheless. It is a middle school level book, and should be part of many schools' required reading lists.

Rating: 4
Summary: A good book
Comment: I think that this book was very good, but as previously suggested, perhaps not for 7th graders. The way the charecters were described really made you relate to them. I like the format and style of Jon Hassler, and hope he continues to write for young adults.
