Crash Coogin is a popular football player who is known for being a jerk but when a sudden turn of events occurs in his life that affects his family, it starts to affect who he is as a person as well. His new neighbor, Penn Webb, is a goofy, care-free boy who loves to love, which makes him the pretty much opposite of Crash. This story will leave the reader wanting to know if their differences can be overlooked. ( )Intermediate This book is about a seventh grade boy named Crash Coogan. He got his nick name by wearing his helmet and crashing into his cousine Bridgett. Crash is a bully who always likes to pick on his neighbor. This gives you a point of view of what a bully goes through and all that he learns from his mistakes. Very funny, a great boy book. Also, it deals with the concept of bullying. This novel is a good example of realistic fiction because Crash is not a real person, but the events that take place in the story could happen, and most teenagers deal with the issues of peer pressure, trying to fit in, and being popular. no reviews | add a review
