I have been reading The Keeping Room in L.A. class it is a very good book!! The Keeping Room is about a  boy about our age and his father went to war against the British and left Joey in charge and keeping the house safe. Then the British took over the house adn locked  the mom, sister, and Joey in one little room. Then Joey left the room without the British knowing and sole food. Then he herd his dad was in a jail for soliders and he went to go visit him and on his way a man grabed Joeys ankle and a guard thought he was talking to him. Then he found his dads cell and he was all chained up and he told his dad how the British took over the house and dug out his garden and put a place to hang people. The dad was so mad Hope ypu like what I told you about the book on this Blog hope you can read it, it i very good!!
