Something Happened- Greg Logsted



Where do I even start with this book. First off the cover made me think that the boy in the story was going to be in high school, but I was wrong he was just starting 8th grade. I should have stopped right there.

Billy had lost his father in a tragic accident about 5 months before this book starts. He is dealing with that loss, helping his mom with his twin sisters, and his mom ignoring him because she is always working. Some of his friends have lost interest in him and now 8th grade is starting.

There is a new teacher at the school and she takes an interest in Billy and well I am sure you can figure out the rest. An inappropriate relationship starts and it isn't Billy's fault. Billy is an innocent kid I honestly believe.

The ending was rushed and the whole book just made me uncomfortable.

  1. Ugh. As a female teacher, I have NO desire to read this book. Yuck.
