Dangerous Skies,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dangerous Skies (Hardcover)
The plot of the story is in the Chesapeake Bay.It is around the 1700's at Virginia's eastern shore. The main characters are Buck and Tunes Smith. Buck's family used Tunes' dad (Kneebone) as a slave before she was born but was nice to him. Once Tunes was born Buck was born around the same time as she was. They became best friends until they found the dead body of one of theirs friends while they were out on the water some day in spring. Tunes ended up getting out of the boat since she saw the dead body. Buck pulled the body into shore and was questioned by the sheriff. Buck didn't want to get Tunes involved so he acted like she was never there when they found the dead body. Later in the story Buck told his dad the Tunes had been with him while on the water and his dad made him go back to Sheriff and tell him that Tunes was involved. They then convicted Tunes of the crime but there was a mean man that lived close to them. You will have to read the rest of the story to find out what happens next. I like this book because it was non stop action and there was a lot of friendship involved. This is one of the best books. I would give this book five out of five stars since it is fun and exciting.

Wonderful story about friendship, life, and changes.,
By Staci (Georgia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dangerous Skies (Paperback)
Stunning. One of the top 10 books I have ever read. The author writes it so that you can feel the characters emotions. The ending of the story really touched me. I find it hard to read books about changes. I sort of want things to always be the same. "I'd also lost the notion there was magic in the world. I guess you could say I'd lost my childhood," is in my opinion one of the saddest parts of the book. Also, the part where Kneebone tells Buck that the good times are gone forever and that things would never be the same between the two, and the part that Buck says that Obie lost his heart for the Bay. I could go on forever talking about how great this book is. Its a moving book and I would recommend everyone who needs a good story to read it.

Friends,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dangerous Skies (Paperback)
Dangerous Skies is a story that is mainly about two boys that live in the middle of the 1700ï¿s. One of the friends is white and the other one is black so they have a lot of disagreements and they spend much of the story trying to figure things out. One of the people lives on a farm and does a lot of work on it. The other one is black so they get a lot of discrimination and stuff like that. I do not really like this book because it was really boring and it had no point. If you want to fine out what happens in the end you should read the book.
