A Mighty Wall

Jordan Woods has been climbing since he was six. His body makes him an ideal climber, but it also makes him a target for bullies. Luckily, during his freshman year, he becomes friends with Casey and A.J., two football players. Life is pretty good, and during his junior year, he meets Juana, a female climber, and they instantly hit it off. Unfortunately, happiness can only last so long... I enjoyed A Mighty Wall. It's pretty obvious as to what is going to happen to end Jordan's happiness, but knowing this detail only made the novel slightly less enjoyable. For a long time, I was just waiting for it to happen, and I even became a little impatient. The greatest strength in A Mighty Wall were the characters. I loved the major and minor characters. All of them were incredibly realistic. The only characters I disliked were the ones I was supposed to dislike like Briggs who bullied Jordan. Another strength was the humor. Without some humor, the novel would have gotten dull.
