yapha 's review for:
Jungle of Bones
by Ben Mikaelsen
Dylan Barstow hates the world. He's been angry ever since his father died, and does whatever he wants. After he steals a car and goes joy-riding through a neighbor's field, his mother sends him off to his ex-Marine uncle for some tough love. Uncle Todd takes Dylan to Papua New Guinea, to search for the B-17 bomber that his grandfather crashed in during WWII. Because Dylan insists on doing everything his own way, and won't listen to anyone, he puts himself in a life-and-death situation in the jungles of Papua New Guinea.
The WWII aspects of this book were fascinating, especially the information about the air battles. The unfortunate part is Dylan himself. He is a real jerk through most of the book, and he totally brought this awful situation on himself. He does realize that by the end of the book, but it is too little to late. For grades 5-8.
