The Road of the Dead Kevin Brooks Scholastic, Inc. © 2006 |
Two brothers leave their home in London, to bring home the body of their sister, whom had been savagely raped and killed in a far off village.
All Cole and Ruben wanted was to get her home so she could be properly laid to rest. It wasn’t going to be easy. They were up against the police and some creepy village people.
Cole didn’t know how complicated this was going to get, but Ruben did. He knew before they left home. Ruben can see and feel things, sometimes as they happen to someone else. He saw and felt his sister die. He saw The Dead Man do it. He was scared. It didn’t all make sense yet, but he would “get it” soon.
Ruben is worried about his brother Cole, he knows what Cole is thinking and feeling. He also knows Cole has a gun!
This book starts a little slow, you have to stick with it as it explains the characters. Then things start jumping. You cant put the book down! I would say 14 and older would enjoy this book. Both Male and Female
