Because last Friday was the official end of the marking period and I only had credit for two book's (one really long one), this week I had to read a whole book; and I actually did it. The book I read was called The Body Of Christopher Creed, by Carol Plum-Ucci. I know the name of the book may give a weird picture in the reader's head but the book was really good. The book was about a guy named Victor "Torey" Adams. Torey had a great life in his old town until a person he knew from his school, Christopher Creed, went missing mysteriously. Christopher's body was found by Torey who went in the woods to look for him and ended up tripping and fell onto the dead body, which is pretty gross to even think about. When Torey told everybody that he found the body there was obviously people that would think rumers like that Torey killed Christopher and such. It was things like this that made Torey want to leave town; so for his senior year as a student, Torey went to a boarding school. Soon after the year at the new school starts people start to learn about Torey's past, It was as if Torey could not run away from what had happened. Throughout the book the reader sees Torey trying to contact people that knew more about the "insedent". One quick thing that I thought was funny was that i was able to make a connection to The Cather In The Rye because in the first chapter, Torey was sitting in his room when another boy from the school, Leo, barges in and starts spying and touching things in Torey's room. It reminded me of the part of Catcher when Ackley would come into Holden's room and start touching everything.
