Far From Shore by Kevin Major
Kevin Major pulls you in the book at once. The book begins when Chris, the main character, is at the Christmas dinner with his mom and sister when his dad walks in drunk. His dad usually does this, so it is nothing new. Chris's family is poor and when his dad moves away for the summer they have no way of making money.
When ever his dad goes away he gets mad and starts to hang out with the wrong crew, and ends up getting drunk and damaging school property. Chris mom is getting tried of his be attitude and decide to send him to a church camp hoping to straight in him up. When Chris arrives at the camp the rev. stick with an 11 year-old kid who wants to go home because nobody he knows is there. Chris gets very close to him and ends up saving his life. Chris then learns how hard it is to keep up with a "child".
When I first started to read this book I knew it would be good. It was a good book and I enjoyed every reading session I had with it. I advise you to read this book if u love action packed book.
