For my recommended reading I would like to recommend the book, Crash, by Jerry Spinelli. It is about a kid named Crash Coogen who bullies his neighbor Penn Webb. Penn is a really dorky old fashioned kid that thinks his parents are cool, but on top of things he’s a Quaker and does not believe in violence. Which of course gives bullies an easy target. Then things get worse for Penn when Crash’s best friend, Mike Delluca, moves to town. Now Penn has double the trouble. Then Crash starts to reflect on his life and starts to realize that he is a jerk. Will Crash ever get a chance to change or will he always be this way?
