The ten mile river is a book about people not an type of people bad people. These people are some of the worst and most dangerous people in the world. These people live in a town out side the city were the river takes them away. The book doesnt put their names beacuse they are so bad you cannt know them. All of them have to have there hair cut has to be red. Also they have to ave dogs and they do things so they can live. They also have to have dogs for some resson.

the ten mile river is are really good book but getting into the middle it becomes really really bad. I mean its just like the book became trash i really liked it but it is bad. Also they all have dog they dont say why i dont get it why do they all have dogs. Also why do they all get hair cuts i dont get it are they part of the mafia or what. An why dont they say there name they only said one name just one why. Over all i think it was really good it wasnt bad at all. Even tho it became really bad but it became really good . ( )

Personal Response: Ten Mile River brings a story of teens who are surviving in the absence of elders, who survive despite people offering to help them. Interesting modern take on the homeless, juvenile delinquency and runaways of today.

Curricular or Programming Connections: The effect of homeless, juvenile delinquents as runaways in society. ( )
