The Juvie Three by Gordon Korman

Douglas Healy is the kind of man we need more of. He's the kind of man who takes a chance on kids other people have given up on . In the book The Juvie Three, Gecko is a teen in juvie for grand theft auto, accessory to robbery and driving without a license, Arjay is behind bars for convicted of manslaughter and Terrence is typical gangbanger together the three of them are going through Mr. Healy's experimental "program". The three boys are as different as night and day, but due to an serious accident the boys have to bond together in order to stay in the program and inevitably stay out of juvie.
I was hooked in the very first paragraph of this book. The action hits right off the bat, and there is no looking back. The Juvie Three is fast paced and easy to read. The characters are easy to get to know and I found myself really understanding them. I would highly recommend The Juvie Three to a good majority of my boys. A definite two thumbs up!
