Book #105 of 2010
Title: Secret Saturdays
Author: Torrey Maldonado
Publisher: Putnam Juvenile
Pub Date: April 15, 2010
Grade: C+
Comments: BookEval Review: A 6th grader who lives in the projects worries when his best friend starts lying about where he goes on weekends and getting into trouble at school.

This book made me crazy because it was so inconsistent. The slangy dialog somewhat feels authentic, but the author’s hand is obvious and irritating throughout this message heavy book. The characters feel both too young and too old to be in sixth grade.
