Book Review

 Michael Laser's book, "6-321" amazes me and makes me wonder what our life would be like if something like what happened to them when they were in 6th grade, happened to us. This book is a very good book, it makes me wonder about the past and question the future.

  One of the main characters in my book is Marc Chaikins. He is just a normal 6th grade student, going through anything another 6th grade student would be going through, drama, heartbreak, and bad grades. One day, just as any other ordinary day Marc decides to tell Lilly Wu how he feels about her. He has to compete with this other guy who also likes Lilly Wu as well as him, he has to overcome many struggles with not just that, but also his family problems he's going through. His parents are going through a divorce, and he has to cope with that and go to school and see the girl he's in love with be with another guy. "Go ahead mom, if you aren't happy leave Dad, I would rather see you smile every day than cry." This is is showing how Marc is being considerate of his mothers feelings and showing how he is a strong young man, and puts others before himself. I like the style this book was written because it always has me wondering whats going to happen next, will she say forget you to the other guy and be with Marc? Or is she going to play with both of their heads and lead them on? This book has a little humor in it as well as sacrifice. The main setting is located at his school, specifically in his classroom 6-321. The setting of this book effected the characters because they were inside of a school, so therefor, they didn't have the opportunity to do things that they would OUTSIDE of a school.

  I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to take a time travel back to their past, and feel the feelings inside that Marc himself is going through. I would give this book a 3 out of 5 stars, just because at the end of my book it's like the plot didn't change at all. So I was stuck with the same plot twist as I have been reading from the beginning.
