Editorial Reviews

Product Description

In this companion book to Jake's Journal, Boomer chronicles his experiences as he struggles with the pain of a father who drinks too much, and the more immediate threat of flood spilling into his canyon home. In the end, will courage and compassion be enough to keep alive even his simplest dreams?

From the Back Cover

I don't guess I'm much of a writer. But my life, it's turned weird lately, and I thought maybe if I put it down on paper everything would make more sense. See, all kinds of stuff has been going on. There's my dad, and the trouble he brung. Then there's this girl I kind of like, only I had to get into a fight because of her. There was a flood, too. Man, was that something! So I wrote it all down, and then it got made into a book, and here it is. I hope you'll like it okay.

5.0 out of 5 stars Boomer's Journal: A life's castrophe beyond the looking jar, October 6, 2000

By	Conrad D. (Rochester, New York USA) - See all my reviews

This book is the best book I ever read! It gets deep inside a young boy's life and tell things that just any body can understand about a teenage boy. He goes throgh times and trails, a lot children go through. It's pretty bad that can't nobody find this book anymore. Not even the places like the library carry this book, and they carry the oldest books!!!!????!!!!?!?!?! So I encourage every body that is looking at this ,order this book, you won't be unsatisfied!!!!!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fighting and floods and fun!!!, June 23, 1998

By A Customer

I read this book pretty fast and I liked it. It has nice people in it and maybe bad people and all kinds of things happen to Boomer, who writes it. I wish there was more about Mary Margaret but it is Boomer's book so maybe she will make her own. Jake's Journal is what I am reading now which is so good. I keep a journal myself but nothing this exciting ever happens in my life. It is really good.
