So far i have only read up to chapter 4 in this book. I think it is a meaningful book. So the kid moves to Washington and he goes to a totally different school. He doesn't know what people would think of him, he is very shy. A similar kind of story happened to me during elementary school. I changed schools 3 times in elementary school! I know it was hard for me to get along. So when i went to PS 159 in fourth grade i was shy of what other people would think of me. I liked playing basketball but i was too shy to ask them to put me on their team. I was even shy to ask them for something. So for me later i got to know them better and they were really good friends. But i am not sure what will happen to the kid in the book yet so i am looking forward to it.
Also in the, at the beginning the kid was saying how some kind of devil took his soul. I looked back on the book and read the title again. Then i read the back of the book. I see that the devil gives him a good strength in something. I relate this to the Cirque Du Freak series because Darren gave up his life just to save a friend and that friend wasn't so good. So having that kind of thought it kind of made me want to read the book. It is a basketball and thrilling type of book. The reason i would say that it is thrilling is because it seems like those stories where alot of things go on that you need to keep track. So i will continue reading this book and enjoying it.
nice job making connections and thinking about this book from multiple perspectives!
