A review by kmcneil
Crash by Jerry Spinelli

4.0

From Horn Book Guide 9/1/1996

Fiction: I Crash is a star football player. He torments Penn, a classmate who is everything Crash is not -- friendly, small, and a pacifist. When his beloved grandfather comes to live with his family and suffers a debilitating stroke, Crash comes to see value in many of the things he has scorned. Although not entirely convincing, Spinelli's fast-paced, lively novel is great fun to read. Horn Rating: Superior, well above average. Reviewed by: mvk
