Title: Kick Authors: Walter Dean Myers and Ross Workman
1. This book made me think about ...
This book made me think about a lot of things but mainly genuine kindness of different people. I thought about this because Sergeant Brown decided to help Kevin by clearing up things with other police after Kevin had committed a crime. Kevin was also very nice because he helped his friend when she was depressed even if it was illegal. The authors of this book is Walter Dean Myers and Ross Workman. The book started when Workman sent an e-mail to Myers saying how much he loved his writing. Then Myers sent back an e-mail giving Workman a chance to write a book with him. So Myers wrote chapters in the point of view as Sergeant Brown and Ross did as Kevin. I think this was an extreme act of kindness and from the acknowledgements Ross seemed super happy. The other thing I thought about was how lucky I am because in the book, Kevin's dad is dead, so that reminds me how happy I am with my dad. I could also tell that Kevin's lifestyle is a lot different from mine maybe because he lost his father or other things. Overall those were the two main things I thought about when reading this book.

2. This book challenged me as a reader by ...
This book challenged me because the book was changing perspectives between Sergeant Brown and Kevin. At first I didn't realize so I was very confused at why Kevin started to have very different opinions. Also at the beginning of the book there was so many new people added into the story and I didn't know if I was supposed to remember them from earlier or if they had just started in the book. Those were the most challenging things for me in 'Kick'.

3. Don't read this book if ...
There isn't very many things in this book that could upset someone because it is a really good book but if you don't like the idea of the loss of your dad or crime investigations I wouldn't read it. In conclusion I really like this book and I hope you do to.
