Croocked was a wonderful book. Laura McNeal did an outstanding job on putting this book together. I could picture every part of the book in my mind.
I choose to read this book because it look good and someone recomended it to me and said it was fabulous.
I was very shocked with how Amos reacted to the tripp brothers when the wouldn't leave Clara alone i thought he really stood up for her.And also the time she found out he called her a dink and then went and sat at the table with Clara and called himself a dink.
This book met my exspectations. I loved it. I would recomend it to anyone who likes a good book. ( )

Crooked was a fabulous book. I love, love, loved it. Laura McNeal did a great job with organizing the characters and making feel like I was actually in the story watching every moment of what was going on between Clara and Amos. I chose to read this book because of the catchy front cover and interesting back cover. I was hooked on Crooked from the moment I started reading it.

Clara was not a very self-reliant person in the beginning. She wasn't very confident either. I was very sastisfied when she stood up for herself with Amos and I was shocked with how Amos reacted to her like with the secret locker notes during school.

This book definetly met my expectations. I enjoyed it so much. There was some drama and a bit of a love mystery, but I loved it. I would recommend this book to anyone. ( )

4 The book was very effective for the Teen Problem Book project.
5 The book was excellent . I enjoyed it.
I really enjoyed reading this book, you can visualize yourself as the main character. Although, I would only suggest it to girls. Boys might find it a bit too feminine. ( )

Crooked is a great teen story linking a girl, the boy she likes, and 2 juvenile delinquint boys together. Clara and Amos like each other but just don't know how to say it.....teen love is hard enough as it is without having two scary guys from your school harrassing you! The end was awesome, and I actually had to hold my breath for a while not knowing what was going to happen next! ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0440229464, Mass Market Paperback)

Clara Wilson has a lot on her mind. Her best friend, Gerri, has started moving in circles that will never in a million years include Clara and her crooked nose. Clara's parents are fighting again, and her mom keeps talking about teaching in France. At least Clara still has Hambone, her loyal dog. And her crush on Amos McKenzie, of course.

Amos McKenzie doesn't much like home these days. His dad's corny questions are bugging him more than usual, and his mom's gone religious for no apparent reason. On top of that, he's starting to fall for a major dink, Clara Wilson. And as it turns out, he's not the only one...

The Tripp Brothers are the biggest delinquents in town. They smash mailboxes, shoplift groceries, and cruise around in their Seduck (half sedan, half truck). They've just turned their sights on the school's newest, cutest couple. And that can only mean one thing for Clara and Amos: danger.

Clara and Amos--their lives turned upside down by each other, their families, and the two meanest brothers in town--discover that honesty may be the answer...but it can be awfully hard to find. In this emotionally compelling and suspenseful young adult novel, Laura and Tom McNeal present a searingly accurate look at life in ninth grade--where thrills, heartbreak, and intimidation can take place at a locker, in the lunchroom, or in a bathroom stall.


From the Paperback edition.
