Okay For Now- Book Reveiw

Okay For Now by Gary D. Schmidt

Okay for Now is a continuation of the Wednesday Wars book, with a new main character, Douglas Swieteck, who moves to Marysville. Douglas faces challenges such as a father with an anger problem, a older brother coming home from the Vietnam war, and everyone in the town not trusting him. His only escape in a copy of James Audubon's Birds of America. This book includes very good descriptions of whats on the page. This book includes some mature themes, and as such you might want to think about what you are reading before you get into it. The book I am reading next week is The Night Circus Slaughterhouse Five

    1. Hailey,
      It is not a very hard read and sucks you in enough that it is difficult to put down.

  3. Charlie,
    Well, I already know I love this book. And I think your blog post about it was well written. You might like It's Kind of a Funny Story by Ned Vizzini. It has a similar feel to Schmidt's books.
