The Crazy Man

Pamela Porter (author of The Crazy Man) wrote a very sweet story. It's about a girl who hurts her leg, making her permanently crippled then on top of that her father shoots her best friend (a dog name Prince) and leaves. Emaline, the main character, is trying to heal both mind and body.

As I said earlier, it was very sweet. I think it was worth my time, but I would not read it again. Pamela Porter wrote The Crazy Man in a poem-like way and maybe I just don't appreciate poetry the way others would, but sometimes I would have to put it down just because I was sick of reading in verse. I rated The Crazy Man a 6 and I think it's readable starting in 6th grade.
