The Boys from Tommytown

I really enjoyed this book. It was exciting, funny and very interesting to read. I really liked the chapter when the boys, Barry, Noah, Petey and Andy built a camp out of PawPaw trees and then a herd of cows came and knocked down their camp. I also liked the part where Barry tried to drive his mother's car. I'm 12 and every boy or girl that is 12 should read this great book.

This is the second book of the Tommytown series. I read the first book about 3 months ago and I really enjoyed it. The book covers a lot about Barry and his brothers, Noah, Petey and Andy. There is also a story about Karen and her sister Maggie. I liked Karen better this time because now she wants to be friends with Barry. She's 14 years old now and I guess she is like my sister when she got that age and started to change. In the story she even wants to play hide and seek with Barry and his brothers and she also begs Barry to teach her to drive their mothers car. Barry gives in to her, but he shouldn't have because he got into trouble again with his mother. I liked the part where Barry, Noah, Petey and Chris all go camping in the field. They build a camp out of Paw Paw trees and sleep in it that night. But guess what after all that work the next morning a herd of cows come thru and knock down their camp. There are a lot of other adventures that the boys do and they seem to be always busy and they like each other a lot. I liked Barry the best because he was always watching out for his younger brothers, even when he was telling them what to do. If you haven't read this book please do because its super!

I thought this book was a great story about the boys that lived in Tommytown. I kept reading about Barry, Noah, Chris and Petey and how they built a camp in a field out of paw paw trees and then the next morning while they were sleeping the cows came and ran right through it. Barry was mad because the herd destroyed his camp, but I laughed. I liked the story about Barry trying to drive his mother's car all by himself. His sister Karen dared him to do it, so he did. His mother was mad when she found out and made them bring it back all by themselves. They didn't really because a nice man towed it back home for them. The family is poor but you wouldn't know it by the way the story is written. The boys just seem to have fun everyday. I liked the story very much and I think any boy my age or girl should read it. You won't be sorry!
