That’s why we’re going to give you some help. To get the think done right.” The kid’s knuckles dug hard into Goober’s chest. The kid’s knuckles dug hard into Goober’s chest. “You tell anybody about this and you’re through at Trinity. Got that?”  Goober gulped and nodded. His throat was dry. He was happy beyond belief. Help had arrived. The impossible had become possible.  The masked figure raised his head. “Okay, fellows, let’s get going.”  One of the other fellows raised his face, also masked, and said, “This is a gas.”  “Shut up and get to work,” the gut who was obviously the leader said.  He also let go of Goober’s shirt and pulled out his own screwdriver.  It took them three hours.   2)   Author: Robert Cormier <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 맑은 고딕">Pages of the book: 263 <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 맑은 고딕"> <span style="mso-fareast-font-family: '맑은 고딕'; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: '맑은 고딕'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin"> <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 맑은 고딕">3)    <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 맑은 고딕">Rover Cormier has been called “the single most important writer in the whole history of young adult literature.” He contributed to writer for teens. <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 맑은 고딕"> <span style="mso-fareast-font-family: '맑은 고딕'; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: '맑은 고딕'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin"> <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 맑은 고딕">4)   <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 맑은 고딕">Jerry’s poster, “Do I dare to disturb the universe?” presents symbol that represents a theme of the book <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 맑은 고딕"> <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 맑은 고딕"> The Room nineteen also presents symbol that represents a theme of the book. <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 맑은 고딕"> <span style="mso-fareast-font-family: '맑은 고딕'; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: '맑은 고딕'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin"> <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 맑은 고딕">5)    <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 맑은 고딕">Genre: Young adult literature, Fiction <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 맑은 고딕"> <span style="mso-fareast-font-family: '맑은 고딕'; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: '맑은 고딕'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin"> <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 맑은 고딕">6)   <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 맑은 고딕">Jerry Renuart, who is Freshmen of Trinity School, lost his mother few years ago and lives with his father.

When you read it, you can feel the reality.
