Lucas by Kevin Brooks





Lucas by Kevin Brooks is about a girl names Caitlin McCann, who lives with her father who is an alcoholic in a small little island named Hale. Also her brother Dominic is coming home from college to live with them. When they are taking Dominic home Caitlin sees a man dressed in army clothes standing in a lake. Not knowing that he would change her life forever.




Lucas is new around the island, and people judge and bully him very often. Caitlin even comes across a situation when her best friend Bill gets drunk with Angel(whos a juvenile delinquent) and her boyfriend were throwing rocks at him.



But everything gets a lot worse when something goes farther at a carnival. The towns people turn and suspect Lucas. Now Caitlin has to choose between her reputation, and Lucas who is a complete stranger.



I thought that this was a very good book. It was very a very adventures, full of excitement, and suspense. The only thing is it has very vulgar bad language. It also talks about murder and rape. Other then that this book was an eye catcher. I would recommend this book to any one who would like to read it.




Rating: PG-13
Grade: A-
