The Last Child pg 1-97

The Last Child by John Hart is a really good book so far. Johnny Merrimon is the main character and he is a really smart boy. I think it is really sweet of him to take care of his mom, since she is devastated from the loss of her daughter, Alyssa. His father had left his family a little while after the disappearance of Alyssa. Clyde Lafayette Hunt was the cop that had been trying to help Johnny's family, and was also the one that promised Johnny that he would bring Alyssa back home after she disappeared. When Clyde never brought Alyssa back years later, Johnny had a plan. He was going to get on his bike, take a map with him, and go look for Alyssa. His ambition left him not caring if she was still alive, all he wanted to know was where she was and what had happened to her. This book is quite sad when you think about it, because who would ever want something so devastating to happen to them. This book is a really great book, and I can't wait to keep reading to find out what Johnny will find out.
