We can tell that George and Lennie have known each-other for a long time because George knows that if he leaves Lennie he will get in trouble and sometimes George is mean to him, but he knows that Lennie needs him, so he has to stay with him. George knows Lennie’s family, example : he knows a lot about Lennie’s aunt and he remembers that her name is Clara , he also tells Lennie what to do all the time because Lennie can’t take care of himself.

I Chose this book because after reading on the backside of the book I thought the book sounded interesting because I like mystery books and the cover was interesting, the book is 89 pages long.

Main Characters :

Boom Boom: Boom Boom is a former ice -hockey star and has a lots of friends and fiends , he gets killed in a mysterious way.

Clayton Phillips:Clayton Phillips was the the vice president of Eudora Grain company he was the one who had found Boom-Boom’s body floating . He was in his early forties, with brown hair and eyes. He drove a Green Alfa and lived on a house on the shore of Lake Michigan.

Plot Summary

The books is a mystery book and it was set in Chicago, USA . The story takes place in year 2002. The main character is trying to find out how her cousin died. Since one of the main characters died in a mysterious way on a ship this story is about a lot of ships. The book was a crime book and it was very exciting from the beginning to the end. The book ends with Vic finding out who killed her cousin Boom Boom .

My Final Toughts about this book is that it is easy to read and not so long but the story does not start before in the middle of the book. I would recommend it to those who like mystery-books
