Swallowing Stones

By Joyce Mcdonald

Review by James Langley

 

Swallowing stones will make feel sorry, sad, and at points leave you wondering what will happen next. It starts on the day when the main characters lives change. They are the same age but do not even really know each other.

Michael is a very popular guy he is a good track star and has a girlfriend and a good best friend who at times drinks. During all of this Michael comes to like someone else named Amy. While Jenna on the other hand is just an ordinary girl with a best friend named Andrea who likes Michael and a boyfriend.
Both of them end up in a bad situation when Jenna’s father dies and Michael learns that he killed someone. As they try to find and not be found they run into each other multiple times throughout the book and start to suspect each other of things that are going on. While Jenna is trying to get vengeance Michael is trying not to get caught by the police.

The book swallowing stones is a good mystery and I would recommend it to people who like to guess and find out what is going to happen I think it will be a bit of a challenge.
