Taming The Star Runner by: S.E. Hinton

The book Taming The Star Runner, by S.E. Hinton is a book about a guy who did not get along with his step father and got so outragiously mad and nearly killed him. In order to stay out of trouble his uncle offered to take him in. Through out this book the troubled teen realizes life does not have to be as hard as it had been. Little did every one know this teen has a soft side, he writes. He actualy wrote a very good book and sent it to a publisher, and they liked it to. The moral of this story is how him helping out at a barn "Taming The Star Runner" helped him realize that he was not the person he wanted to be. And he would change that. I believe that S.E. Hinton uses a very strong way to write, it just captures my attention. I believe every one should read these books. It will change the way you think of other books.
