The Legacy of Gloria Russel - Sheri Gilbert
When Billy James' best friend Gloria dies, he is forced to deal with a town that pities him, and a man they all hate, Mr. Satan. The town believes that Mr. Satan's touch is lethal, and that he caused Gloria's death after they became friends. But when Billy James befriends him, he sees that the town is greatly mistaken, and that he is a very nice man. Billy James does his best to get the town to see the true Josef Satan, for the sake of his new friend, and the legacy of Gloria. This book moves pretty slowly, and it isn't until 3/4 of the way through the book that i actually became interested in it. It deals with some tough issues that need to be adressed, such as discrimination. At some points, it is rather frustrating to read. All in all, it is a pretty good book, although i wouldn't recommend it.

Jen,
too bad this one was not a winner. I don't enjoy putting all that work into a book and that finding it slow moving.
I read a book called King of Champions about a ballerina and a chess player as they try and decide on their futures. The book kept going back between the girl and the boy but it was annoying in the style. It was also not a great read.
