Changing Jareth
By Elizabeth Wennick
I read the Changing Jareth. It was about this boy named Jareth who wasn’t a very good kid; he broke into people’s houses and stole money and more. He only wanted a family, a real one. His mom was a drunk and his little brother was very sick and always in the hospital. Eventually, his brother died and his mom got put into jail. Jareth went to his friend’s, Matthew, step-dad to get help, because Jareth tried killing himself. After a while in the hospital, Vic, Matthew’s step-dad took him to his old friend’s house so Jareth had a place to live. Jareth met a few new friends who helped him a lot but he also met an enemy or two.
I enjoyed the book by the end but there were some parts that weren’t too exciting, but if they weren’t there, the book would be totally different. The reason I enjoyed it so much is because it really is how some teenagers live, or have experienced depression, much like Jareth. Overall I find this book has lots of good parts as well as bad parts. I would recommend this book to others because it could represent the life of some teenagers.
