This book is not just a mystery or action book its has great feeling to it. The characters have life because this book has some truth behind it. The main character is a real person that person wrote this book and many more. He has a way to make the character have pop out of the book and stay with you.My favorite part of the book is when Jon Hassler decided to turn in his best friend to the police because he cared so much him he did not want him to go down that path. He learned that you can break so laws very small laws like fish with out a license but big laws like stealing or hurting someone is not to be tolerated.

Four Miles to Pinecone (Fawcett Juniper)

He was an eyewitness to a crime that his best friend committed. . . .  “It all started the day school ended” That was when my English teacher decided not to flunk me—if I wrote a long story during my summer vacation. My name’s Tom Barry. I’m sixteen, and I really do want to be a junior next year at the high school in St. Paul where I live. But with my full-time job at Mr. Kerr’s grocery store, I didn’t think I’d have enough time to do it. But by the end of the week, the paper seemed small potatoes. You see, Mr. Kerr’s store was broken into—and my best friend Mouse was involved. I saw him, but I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t want to be a fink. I kept mum because it was right about then that I was invited to stay at my uncle’s resort near Pinecone. It’s a real neat place in the Minnesota woods, and I figured I would cool out there. And then I found that they have crime just like in St. Paul—but this time the stakes were much higher. Suddenly, my life was on the line. . . .

A teenager witnesses a crime involving his friend and faces moral dilemmas while spending summer at a resort.
