I read Monkey Island for a book report I had to do. The book is about a boy named Clay who ends all by himself on street. He finnaly ends up meeting Buddy and Calvin who try to help him. Buddy soon gets sick with pneomnia. He is hospitalized for several days. Once they (hospital) find that he is not with his parents they end up trying to find a foster family for him and in suceed in doing so. Once Clay is with his foster family they also find his mother in which Clay goes to live with. This is a great story about life and why you should appreciate it every single day. This is in regard to the paperback edition.
