Dumb Chocolate Eyes

LoveReading4Kids Says

Interest Age Teen  Reading Age 7 Pete Cassidy seems average, ordinary, apart from his eyes which are ‘kind of loose and lazy and chocolate brown’. The narrator of this story isn’t really sure why they are friends, it’s just one of those things. They rub along together until the day Cassidy announces he’s going to trap rats. What happens then changes their friendship and, in a way he can’t really explain, changes the narrator for ever too. Brooks is a Carnegie Medal winner and this is a very fine piece of writing, short, effective, convincing - an acute observation of a small event that has huge consequences for those involved. ~ Andrea Reece
