Charlie St. Cloud
I recently started and finish Charlie St. Cloud written by Ben Sherwood. This amazing novel is about a boy in his teens named Charlie and his younger brother Sam. They were both very smart boys, infact Charlie was his junior class president and is planning on attending Dartmouth. He and his brother shared the passion of sailing, they would sail together and apart all the time. Charlie had to look after his younger brother Sam one night while their mother went out. Charlie had somewhere to go, so he tried to sneak out, but Same saw him and decided to go with him if when they got back Charlie would play ball with him everyday. They were driving back from the party, and Charlie had had somthing to drink. Sam and Charlie got into a fight, swirved off the road, and hit a truck. The next thing they knew, they were in an ambulance. Sam had passed away, and Charlie had some cuts on him. The family went to Sam's funeral a couple of days later, but in the middle of the barriel at five o'clock Charlie was crying, and ran into the woods near their house. He went there because this was the place that Charlie promised Sam he would go to play ball. Charlie is in the woods with his ball and glove, and he can see Sam. Everyday they meet here at five o'clock. One day Charlie meets a girl named Tess who is smart and also loves to sail, and they fall in love. One day him and Tess are together, and Charlie falls asleep, he wakes up about two past five, he runs to the woods to see his brother and he was never there, he was know a free spirit. Tessgoes out to sail one day to practice for a race and never returns. Charlie starts to become worried because a storm starts to build up. He calls the police, and gets into a helicopter with one of them. They go out over the bay and start to look for her. She was laying on a big wet and cold boulder. Charlie had seen her and went down to see if she was okay, and she was unconsious. She gets the girl, and they go to the hospital, and she ends up to be okay. I thought this book had many miracles in it, Charlie could see Sam, and he was able to find Tess. If someone loves touching magical love stories, they would love this book. Whether it's a brother brother relationship, a brother mother relationship, or a brother girlfriend relationship, it's always a touching relationship, no matter what.
