4.0

The book Forged by Fire by Sharon M. Draper is about a boy named Gerald. It starts out at the beginning of his life and continues to high school where he is in the car crash with Andy. Gerald has a hard life, his Mother is addicted to drugs and does not take care of him. Eventually he ends up at his Aunts and lives with her for six years. Eventually he ends up back with his Mother, but he has a little sister now. Gerald instantly loves his little sister and protects her. When Gerald moves back in with his Mother he also moves in with her new husband, Jordan. Jordan abuses them. Gerald does all he can to protect his sister from Jordan and when he can no longer protect her by himself he has to find help…

I really liked this book because I have never read a book that explains abuse so thoroughly. I would recommend this book to middle schoolers because it educates you about all types of abuse.
