Danny McMillan who is the main character never knew his dad was hurting his mom, until one night his father really hurt his mom which split their family forever.While his dad is sentenced in court, Danny can't figure out to who he should stay with, his mom, or his dad who he loved so much. After the trial is over, a second one begins for Danny. Social services have to move Danny, his sister and his mom away from Edmonton, away from their dad so when he gets out of jail, he doesn't hurt their family anymore. Danny and his family must change everything, their surname, their first name their birthday and many more. Danny must now go to a new school but doesn't know who to be, Danny McMillan or David Mayer(his new identity). Things starts to go downhill and Danny starts smoking, drinking, stealing and hanging out with the wrong friends, but will he pull it together with his new life? or will he crash and breakdown and tell everyone his secret.
One reaction to one of the characters is Danny. Even though he faced a lot of dificulties in his life, my reaction to him was that I was surprise when he started doing bad things because, in the beginning of the story, he was a nice and caring boy.
I wounder if Danny's dad ever found out where Danny's family moved and I wounder if Rosemarie Boll makes more books like this one. I thought there wasn't a lot of action but its still a great book.
I think people should read this book because, this book talks about real life situations and talks about pure pressure. I couldn't stop reading this book because it it a very good book.
Looks like a good book
