Devils Den

Susan Beth Pfeffer

This book is about a young boy named Joey that does not know his dad. He does have a loving step father though, when his stepfather asks to become his father by law Joey denies him and gets furious. This question then leads him on his journey to find his biological father once and for all.

This book is very detailed and interesting at the part where they go to Gettysburg. I also like this part because I can relate to it from the time I visited.

This book would be a good read for young teens because it is a fairly easy read, also it is dealing with a young teenager so some might be able to relate to him.
