The Weirdo
I read The Weirdo by Theodore Taylor. The book is about a nine-year-old girl named Samantha Sanders. One day she found a dead body of a man outside by her house. His name was Alvin Howell. Alvin had been found in a ditch of the swamp wearing a blue shirt that stuck out from everything else. The finding of this man would haunt her for the rest of her life.
Six years later she had decided to see Alvin's wife. She was an old lady a while away from the swamp. They talked about Alvin and the reaccuring dreams she had like he was trying to tell her something. He was. Alvin was trying to tell her who killed him. Everyone thought it was the weirdo who lived in the swamp. The weirdo had scars on his face because of a plane crash. Sam met the weirdo before by being saved by him from his roof after getting chased up by the dogs. I t was not him. They were both looking for the same killer and did not know it.
To find out who murdered Alvin and who killed another unfortunate soul you can read the book and find out for yourself. I would recommend this book to someone who likes mysteries starting at grade level 5.

 I give this book 5 stars October 11, 2001
I like this book because it has great suspense and the characters seem like real people. I would recommend this book because it teaches you about how it's not what you look like on the outside, but who you are on the inside that counts. If you like a thrilling murder-mystery than you will love this book!

When I saw this book, I thought it might be about some mystery murderer. This is a fiction book about a girl named Samantha who finds a dead body on her way to school and she's trying to find out who murdered him. I liked this book because of what the characters say. I liked this fantastic book. You should definitely read this excellent book.
