Book Review of Sea Glass

  Have you ever been put under great amounts of peer pressure, what about family pressure, have you ever been called names or laughed at, do most people hate you? Well, Craig, the main character in Sea Glass by Laurence Yep, would have answered all of the above.
   Craig's father has put him in a lot of pressure to do sports, only Craig hates them. Craig discovers his uncles cove, where everything is peaceful and learns to really look at things. Craig soon makes a friend named Kenyon, who bond together and share secrets. When Craig finds out what he is doing with his uncle isn't special, his life turns upside down. Craig gets in a fight with his dad, his uncle, his best friend, and everything is ruined. When his uncle pays him a visit, his father realizes he does not want to do sports, and everything is better than it was before.
  If you like stories with a good story line and a heartwarming tale, this book is perfect for you. I am not much of a fan of these kinds of books, but I found it very enjoyable. Anyone looking for a classic tale by a great author, should read this book. =)
