Literally the Best Reviews: Ginny Moon

Ginny Moon -- Benjamin Ludwig

Park Row Books

368 Pages

Every once in awhile, I read a book and have to write the review as soon as I finish it. Generally that means it’s either very, very good, or it’s not. I usually give it a day or two to percolate and calm my initial impulse to write immediately. However, Ginny Moon by Benjamin Ludwig was such a great reading experience that I had to throw convention out the window and write it right away.

Saying It Is One Thing, Doing It Is Another

I posted an article today on my Facebook page about a 10-year-old boy who was arrested while at school, put in handcuffs, shoved into the back of a police car, and taken away as his mother recorded the incident. Throughout the whole thing, the boy kept saying he was confused and didn't understand what was going on. The mother kept asking the police to tell her why they were taking her son away, and the police never responded.

A little later in the article, it explains that the boy was arrested for an incident that took place in October that involved the boy striking his teacher at school. The school name had the word "academy" in it, so I am assuming it is a specialty or exclusive kind of school. Apparently, the boy would not stop being disruptive in class so the teacher told the boy to go to time out. When the boy would not go, the teacher grabbed the boy to move him and the boy struck him. Now, you could say that the teacher was guilty of assault as well, but that is not how this played out.
