Book-A-Day 41

Many of Eve Bunting's books are about serious, current issues occurring in the country.  In Your Move by Bunting, James and his younger brother Isaac are heading out at night.  James and Isaac are not supposed to leave home when Mom is at work.  However, James is meeting the K-Bones.  He is proving to them that he can be in their club.  When they meet up, the K-Bones tell James to tag their club names over the Snakes name on a sign.  James has to climb an unsteady sign in order to paint it.  It is dangerous.  Isaac is scared.  James succeeded, but the Snakes meet up with the K-Bones.  They have a gun and all the boys run.  Isaac falls and get hurt.  James and Isaac make it home, but their mom is there.  Does he become a part of the club?  This book is an excellent example of the dangers of peer pressure.  #BookADay41
