becca's (really it's 4.5 stars)review

This book was very suspensful.Peter is a teenager with ADD who's stepfather doesn't like him. Buck,his stepfather, thinks that he hates his half brother whom Peter really loves. I reccomend this book to any teenager who wants a good book that they can relate to. Peter is trapped like many teenagers. Though most teenagers are metaphorically trapped the author gives his readers a good real life, though somewhat more drastic then most of us will face, look at the every day life of a struggling teen waiting to discover who he really is. Peter, in the end, finds out who he is and who his friends and family really are with the help of a disillousioned poet, a girl with an eating disorder, and a overly friendly gaurd who is trying to right his wrongs. I am sure that if you pick up this book that the suspense will keep it in your hands until you've found every juicy detail(just like in the tabloids).

Josh's Review

The book, Framed In Fire is a really good book. It's the only book I have read completely in over 3 years. There is a kid named Peter who is another ordinary boy. He gets accused for pushing his brother Linclon down the stairs of their house, so his parents sent him to a place called Restheaven, which is a place for juvenile delinquents. There he meets Cat who is the nurse, Edward aka Scorpio is one of the guards. He also meets Eugene who is a poetry lover all he ever does is rsite poetry on paper and out aloud, he also meets an anorexic girl named Sarah who also smokes. Peter One day when Peter was opening a book that he got for his B-day he read what his mom had wrote. He noticed some more writing and pulled back the label and his dad wrote in the book to. But he was told his dad had died before he was 2.So he escape from Restheaven and goes and searches for his dad with help from Edward, Sarah helps them out along the way to to try to find his dad. I wont tell u anything else I will let u find out yourself. I recommend this book for a teenager or someone who needs a good read. By: Josh Taylor
