A review by jbojkov
Dead End in Norvelt by Jack Gantos

5.0

This "semi-true" account of a summer in young Jack Gantos's life is a very entertaining read. Despite Jack's best intentions he winds up grounded indefinitely less than a week into his summer vacation. However between the little old ladies dropping dead left and right, and his best frind Bunny daring him to sneak out to join her on various adventures, Jack's summer turns out less than boring. Mr. Gantos has a gift for evoking the voice of a child and pulling you into the story.
