Representaion During Books Me & Jack
Joshua Reed is used to moving around since his dad became an Army recruiter and the Vietnam War broke out. But their newest home, in the mountains of Pennsylvania, feels special somehow. Josh has started to make a new friend, his dad has finally allowed him to get a dog, and Jack-with his strange glowing ears and the way he seems to understand Josh's feelings-is like no other dog Josh has ever seen. But in Vietnam-era America, conflict is never far away-even on the homefront. When a local boy is killed overseas, the town turns on the new army recruiter. And when a few late-night disturbances all point to Jack, it will be up to Josh to fight for his dog, his family, and his new home.

I like the book " me and jack " by danette harworth . I like it by the connection of Joshua reed and his best friend jack but the thing is , it is very interesting question . In real life , your best friend connection , is either between a boy or girl , but it usually only involves two people . But the thing is , you have a bond and and connection and you guys are always together . If you realize in the book , Joshua reed and jack are best friends , which is a goof thing , but the thing about
I enjoyed this story, but found it repetitive at times and a little drawn out. The cover led me to believe the dog in the story was a Doberman, but it's not. The breed of dog is a mystery, so I won't give it away. Topics include: Vietnam War sentiments, dog, friendship, bullies, country life - Pennsylvania.
MG can be a hard genre in which to find good historical fiction book. There are many wonderful action/adventures, sci-fi based books. Be prepared to get your hands on this book! Me & Jack is set in Vietnam era US. The story opens with our MC, a young boy, moving to a new town in PA with his widowed father, an Air Force recruiter. Having lost his mom, his friends at the last base, Jack enters the picture. A boy and his dog is certainly a classic story set-up BUT the chosen era and Danette's
Me & Jack is a charming coming-of-age story about a boy, his dog, his father, and friendship during the Vietnam war. I couldn't put it down and I cried at the end. I've read all three of Danette's books, and they're all so different from one another. I couldn't choose a favorite between Me & Jack and Violet Raines, but I did give both to my husband immediately after I finished them, and I only give him books I really love.
When I first saw the book I thought it wouldn't be that good. I started reading it and I couldn't stop reading it, that's how good this book is! I think this book would be great for anyone.
Really good book. Started it today, finished it today. Kept me turning the pages as swiftly as I could. Excellent characterization of both humans and the dog (Jack). This is a young adult book, but this "older" adult certainly loved it. I've now read three YA books by Haworth and have loved them all.
