Tex

Title: Tex

Author: S.E. Hinton
Author Study Book #2

This book is about life changes for Tex, Tex wants to avoid dealing with the young adolescent side of himself. Tex tries to escape his problems so he goes to a local fair. While Tex was at the fair he ran into a fortuneteller. The fortuneteller informs Tex that change is inevitable, but it doesn't have to change him. Then one day as Tex comes home from school to find that his borther Mason has sold his horse, Negrito, as well as his own horse, Red, because they have run out of money. Tex then goes to look for his horses and runs into his friends Jamie and Johnny Collins.

Through out this book it shows different obstacles that Tex has to over come. He is sick of being the man of the house. I believe this book is not really a good book to read. This is because I would recommend That Was Then, This is Now and The Outsiders over this book. I really didn't enjoy reading this book. I feel students would get bored of reading this book and that they would find the main character to much of a complainer.
