Title: Desperate
Product review: After I had just read "The Phantom Tollbooth" for school reading points, I was so motivated for reading. The next book I picked out was this. It seemed good. Boy, was that ever a big mistake I made! Here's the plot. Vernon a boy helps the strange Maxine Flooter and her...uh "mentally disordered" son Ronald. Don't expect any more plot than that. This book was so slow nothing good ever happened. Routine happened all the time. Also, the ending was very predictable. The last three paragraphs were very desperate. About the only thing that kept me going for the last four chapters was seeing if Ronald would talk. If all that weren't enough, the language is too strong at times for a children's book. Just forget it.
