The Last Chance Texaco

Review By Sasha

This book is one of the better books that ive read. I began reading it thinking that oh, this is just some book about bad kids and in the end she wont get sent to whereever it is that she's afraid of being sent to. But no, this book is in fact more than just some book about some bad kids. Its got humor, mystery and romance and was very well written. I even liked the end!

The book is about a girl named Lucy whose been in foster care for a long time, so she knows how the whole system works. The book begins with her eneting a new foster home. At the beginning i though it seemed pretty dorky, the autors attemps at humor seemed un authentic but my thoughts soon changed. So Lucy goes to the new home and she meets and anyalizes her new housemates and knows that she has to bee good or she'll get sent to the prison like place where the really bad homeless kids go.

I highly reccommend this book, there are some clues left open (just one really) and it doesnt matter anyway but the solution to the mystery was pleasntly suprising.
