A great, must read book

I read the book Windcatcher, by AVI. I thought it was an exellant book. It had a lot of action and suspense, and the book kept you on your toes. The book was about a boy who went to his grandmothers house for the summer. He brong his brand knew sailboat to to her house. One day he went sailing and he gets stuck in a storm. Then he gets shiprecked on a small island off the coast. Some how he has to get back to the main land orbe found. To find the outcome of this book read Windcatcher. The book is realistic fiction. It is about 120 pages long. I would recomend this book to young readers.

It is an extraordinary book . You have to read it.

IT WAS ABOUT A BOY WHO WANTED TO SPEND HIS MONEY ON FOOLISH THINGS AND HE ENDED UP BUYING A SAIL BOAT AND THEN GOING TO HIS GRANDMA`S HOUSE AND THEN DISCOVERED A MYSTERY ABOUT TWO PEOPLE AND THAT IS JUST THE BEGGINING . SO IF YOUR NOT THERE YET DONT STOP READING!

Fourth grade male teacher likes Windcatcher

I've read Windcatcher with four or five classes of fourth graders. They all like say they like it, and they aren't afraid to tell me what they think. Tony Souza is a boy we all can identify with. After we learn the sailing jargon, we get involved with Tony's adventures. We also flash back in time to the Revolutionary War era to Captain Ezra Littlejohn and the payroll ship that sank in the area where Tony's grandmother lives. Will Tony find the treasure, and what kind of trouble will he encounter trying?? Good book.

I thought that it was great book.
