Rumble Fish By S.E Hinton

This book is about a boy named Rusty James. He is a leader or a small gang that is dying out. His mother left him and he lives with his dad, who drinks a lot, and his older brother, Motorcycle Boy. Rusty lives in the shadow of his older brother because he is well known in the gang. I liked this book because it told about things that really happen to some teens like them getting into trouble.This book connects to me because most teens go through fights with friends like Rusty did. I sometimes get into fights with people and sometimes argue with friends like Rusty did. My favorite part of the book was when Rusty got in a fight because it had a lot of action in that scene. If you like action books you would like this one. I would recommend this book to kids 12- 17 because this book is about a kid that age so they could compare the book to themselves. I would give this book 4 stars because it is about teen life and it has a lot of action.
