Carson Forged By Fire Sharon N. Draper. What I like about this book is that it is so realistic. The story is based on something so unimaginable but it happens every day. It makes you feel so bad for Angel and makes you despise Jordan for doing such a cruel thing to her. Some interesting things about this book are that when Gerald is talking to his friends, he uses slang. Another cool thing is it’s not really in first person, but the narrator switches to different people and then he narrates. There are no illustrations in the book. The plot is a lot of places. I think the main plot is the apartment. This is where Jordan, Gerald, Angel, and Monique live. This is also where Jordan molests Angel. It is a about the plot is it’s not a safe place to raise kids. It’s located in the bad part of the “hood” as Gerald calls it or the ghetto. Some of my friends live in the bad part of my neighborhood in apartments. In general my favorite character Gerald is very smart and muscular when Angel is a sweet, kind, and caring girl that love music and dance. She was the best dance in her group out of forty. Monique is a horrible parent. She loves her kids very much but sometimes abuses her kids. Jordan is the most horrible parent there is. He molests Angel, and beats Gerald and Monique. His consequence for doing that at the end, was dying.

In addition, I would recommend this book because something is always happening. There is never a boring time in this book!!! I would recommend this book to people hat like book about people getting out of serious situations. Gerald and Angel were sure in a tight spot!!!

Forged by Fire Zach The book’s name is Forged By Fire. The author of this book is Sharon M. Draper. This book is very fascinating and I cherished it. This book is a sequel to Tears Of A Tiger and that book was very superior so I decided to go on with the series. It is also just like real life it uses slang and is written in I.M. format. The plot starts off as Gerald living with his mother Monique. But one day when Monique goes out to get drugs Gerald is left alone and accidentally sets the house on fire. Then, He is sent to the hospital with no major injuries but his mom is put in jail for child endangerment. So from there on he has had to live with his aunt, who treats him way better so he likes it more there. But on his 9th birthday he finds out his mom’s coming to visit him. She has a new surprise that makes Gerald melancholic. Monique is married to a guy named Jordan and she has a daughter named angel. That same day Gerald’s aunt died and he has to live with his mother. He soon finds out that Jordan does very appalling things to angel and his mother, and then soon him. I don’t really detest anything about the plot but I do like the order it goes in. In the story angel has very dreadful stuff done to her and I know someone that has had that same stuff done to them too. This book does relate to the Tears Of A Tiger book because of the format and the characters. The most specific characters are Monique, the mother of Gerald, then there’s Gerald the main character, Jordan the abusive step dad, Aunt Queen, Angel, Andy, Rob, Mr. Washington, B.J., Mrs. Washington and Tyrone. There’s only one character that I dislike and that’d have to be Jordan only because he’s sick, spiteful, and mean. Some connections I have are that when Gerald stuck up for his sister because Jordan was trying to beat her well I’ve done that for my sister before. This book relates to Tears Of A Tiger because of the format and the way the kids talk and the plot. Yes I would definitely recommend this book to others. But to only the people that can take the pain or people who don’t cry a lot. This book would have you crying a lot if your one of those people. This book is so excellent its not even funny. I hope you adore it as much as I did.
