Summer Reading #1

In my book Jasper Jones so far there are two major characters. One of them is a boy named Jasper Jones. From what I can tell he has lived a very rough life. His mother is long gone and his father is a drunk that just doesn't care. He often lives in the woods and has to steal the essentials to survive. This makes the whole town hate him and they all think he is no good. The second character in the book is a young boy named Charlie Bucktin. He is thirteen years old, one year younger than Jasper. Charlie is avery intelligent boy and not much of an athlete. The setting this book takes place in is a small Australian mining town called Corrigan. The conflict is that some one murdered a young girl named Laura Wishart and hung her from a tree in the woods where Jasper lives.Jasper doesn't know what to do because the whole town will think that he killed her and seeks the help of Charlie in the middle of the night. My prediction is that Charlie will tell one of his friends about the girl and the police will get involved along with Charlies parents.
