the world as we know it by Joseph Monninger


On the back cover is one paragraph that gives you a lot of information. Two young brothers, Ed and Allard, meet their new neighbor, Sarah, when they are skating. Sarah has broken through some ice in the river and would have died if it were not for the quick-thinking and heroic actions of the brothers. A strong bond is formed among the three of them. And for Sarah and Allard love soon followed. Nothing can break their bond until a tragedy in Wyoming. My first reaction is that there isn't much left to reveal in the book other than what the tragedy is! The book, however, is much more than these events. The descriptions of the area, of the dreams of these young people and of the reactions to the events were wonderful. Definitely worth reading!
