I have found a new author whose books I absolutely love. His writing style is similar to Max Elliot Anderson and Tim Shoemaker. These are two author's whose books are on my classroom shelves. Not only do my boys love these books, but so do my girls. I highly recommend this author to all of my readers.

Glenn Haggerty’s books are full of suspense and adventure. Tyler
Higgins wants to fit in with the “cool” kids. He is willing to ditch his former
best friends to be “cool”. He is quickly
learning that being “cool” is not all it is cracked up to be. Tyler agrees to
spy on kids parked at Lover’s Lane. He invites
his former best friend who declines. While hiding in the woods waiting to catch
teens making out a car pulls up. When the trunk lid is opened they see what
they are sure is a dead body. Unfortunately they are discovered. This book takes you on an edge of your seat
adventure as these two teens try to stay alive.
Discover what exactly is going on. Who is chasing them and who wants who
dead. This is a lite Christian
Fiction. Throughout the book Tyler talks
about church and God. The reason I loved this book is because it is so true to
life in the Christian aspect. Tyler has
thoughts about what he believes God would want him to do, chooses to take a
different path because he doesn’t want to listen to God. The other thing we see
is what happens when he makes decisions he knows is wrong. This is a book that can and will be enjoyed
by everyone. This is the first book of a trilogy.

This was the most intense of the three books. Tyler has
noticed a change in some of his friends. He is sure there is a drug problem in
his school. His plan is to find out who
is dealing the drugs. The problem is that they need to find the person at the
top of the chain. Tyler and some of his
friends come up with a plan. They are
going to track these drug dealers to get to the bottom of the problem. But the woods are full of problems. Sometimes the ones you think you can trust
are the ones you need to avoid. Will this adventure cost Tyler and his friends
their lives? These books are so good
that I read one a day. I stayed up to finish them each night. I look forward to reading many more books by
this author.
Thanks for the reviews Sandra, I'm working on book 4 now and hope to have it out by the end of the year or early next year.
