Swallowing Stones By Joyce McDonald "Michael fires his new rifle into the air but he never imagine that bulet will endup killing someone." First, In Blairwood, New Jersey Michael's parents threw him a birthday party on the Fourth of July. Michael was having an unforgettable time. He ate six hot dogs, four hamburgers, and a full bowl of potato salad. Then, Michael's grandfather gave him a rifle on his birthday. Michael shot his rifle in the air and accidentally struck and killed an innocent man.

In my opinion the book was interesting because it had good characters and a strong plot. First, I found it interesting to learn about Michael as he watches his life crumble. Then, Michael doesn't want to keep his dark secret anymore. Finally, Michael decides to tell his younger brother Josh about it. In conclusion, Michael killed an innocent man that was fixing his roof. I recommend this book to people that love mystery books. When you started reading the book you just can't stop reading keep on going.
