Changing Jareth Book Review
Elizabeth Wennick
Changing Jareth is one of my favorite books because I’ve always been fascinated with action books and movies and this book didn’t have too much action but it had just enough. It shows you the world of a troubled teenager with a drunken mom who didn’t take care of her kids and his little brother, Brad. Brad was always sick so Jareth basically had to take care of him. One day Brad asked to be picked up from school and his mother was drunk and got mad and beat him. He was so badly injured he died in the hospital. Jareth was traumatized by this and it completely changed him. After talking to the police his mother got arrested and put in jail. Just a little bit after Brad died Jareth went home and tried to overdose on pills he found and cut his wrist. He was slowly dying and he decided to say goodbye to his friend Matthew but he wasn’t home. His dad named Vic answered the door and saw Jareths wrist and found out he had overdosed. Vic took him to the hospital and made sure he would be okay. A little bit after that Vic helped Jareth find a place to live at his friend Dan and Stewarts home. While Jareth is at their house he started to change. He only did one break in since he was there; he cut his hair, got new clothes, new attitude, got a job, started drawing and met some new friends. Going to this new house has really helped Jareth change, in a good way.
I really liked this book because it showed what it’s like to not have a good life and house with nobody who cares. It made me realize that my life isn’t so bad and I should start to appreciate everyone in my life and all the little things because you never know what you have until it’s gone. Reading this book actually helped me recover from some stuff and now I appreciate everything in my life because I have everything that I need and I’m lucky to have a good family and friends.
