straight up awesome

I don't exactly have a passionate love for reading, but this book really inspired me to continue reading. Instead of just turning on the tube.

    Highly Recomended

    The Red Kayak was a very good book. The book left you wondering what happened next at every turn of the page. It started off with three boys being best friends. Throughout the book their friendship spirals downward as Brady, one of the characters, finds out a horrible secret but is to afraid what will happen if he tells. Brady is concerned about JT and Digger and what will happen to them.
    This book was surprising and had lots of twist and turns. Everything written in this book leads up to a perfect exciting climax. I would suggest that anyone reading this review should read this book. This book was so good that I could not put it down.

    Exciting and a Good Read

    We are currently reading this book in class, and I am loving it.
    A twisted tale of a boy named Brady who is forced to choose between squealing on his two best friends or forever hold the most dangerous secret ever.

    I recommend this book to people of all ages. It's filled with mystery and sadness, a great book!

    I absolutely Loved this book

    I cannot believe how good this book was. At the beginning I was like " this isn't very exciting". But then i reached the climax of the story and its like "wow, this is a great book". the author uses amazing resources to make sure it sounds as real as possible, and it really worked. I can really relate to the characters. She puts in lots of details which really makes the story move along nicely. I could not believe how well the story fit together. It was a mystery while it was a breath taking story. It was truly a sad tale, but it keeps you reading!

    A reviewer

    I am in the seventh grade and i live in washington. im your average prissy stuck up snob, and i absolutely HATE reading. i think its a waste of time and that their isn't one good reason for it. but i was forced to write a report on an adventure/mystery book for school. i just picked this book up off the shelf and didn't even read the cover. it grabbed onto me and i couldn't put it down. i actually got in trouble at school for reading when i was suppose to be working! my friends and parents couldn't figure out what had gotten into me. i LOVED this book and i recommend it to ANYONE. it is a fanomenal book.

    Outstanding!!

    I could not put this book down-- it was suspensful from beginning to end. Out of all the books I've read (and there have been many), this definitely ranks near the top. I highly recommend this book for school or simply pleasure.

    A touching story of a boy forced to choose between his friends and what he thinks is right.

    Brady Parks is a 13 year old 8th grade student at Alexander Holmes Middle School, located in Maryland off the Chesapeake Bay. He and his two best friends JT and Digger are caught in a terrible mess when a joke goes bad. Brady's story is full of suspense and surprises. I couldnt put the book the book down. You can really wrap your mind around this heart warming tale of a wonderful young man, who has had his share of sorrow. Will Brady make the right decision?? You'll have to read for yourself. This book is for the young and the oldER (like myself). I'll be reading Saving Grace, A Face First, and Autumn Journey soon. Priscilla Cummings has done a splended job at keeping this YA read very interesting!

    Red Kayak provides much to reflect upon.

    Priscilla Cummings masterfully tells a multi-faceted, gripping tale through a 13 year- old boy's eyes.This young man, Brady, the main character and narrator of the Red Kayak talks right from his heart.As readers, we are allowed into Brady's dilemas and heart wrentching decisions involving his two best friends and a serious tragedy. A three year- old in the story made a touching analogy between someone 'justing being mean' and not being a 'bad' person overall.Cummings makes me feel like I could be right there living near the Chesapeake Bay area where fisherman, crabbers, and life on the water intermingle.

    The Red Kayak seems like an ordinary book about a teenage boy, B

    The Red Kayak seems like an ordinary book about a teenage boy, Brady, and his friends living an average life near the shore in Maryland. His average life comes spiraling down after him and his friends thought of a funny joke turned into someone losing their life. One day while walking on the shore, he finds his three year old neighbor unconscious in the water. Shocked and scared, he preforms CPR until the paramedics come. Brady later realizes that him and his friends prank of putting holes in the neighbors kayak most likely caused the death. Brady now has to chose wether or not to tell everyone that it is him and his friends to blame.
    What I liked about this book is how well it was written. I also liked how descriptive it was. Lastly, I liked how it kept you hooked the whole book. What I disliked about the book was how sad it was, and how it left you feeling sad at the end.
    My final recommendation for this book is it is a great book for teens or older, since younger children may not understand it. I also recommend this for anyone that has lost someone. In all, The Red Kayak is a great book that I think many people should pick up.

    The DiAngelos just moved in next door to Brady. Brady likes his

    The DiAngelos just moved in next door to Brady. Brady likes his new neighbors but many people in the town don't like how developers and rich families are moving into the town and tearing down buildings and building their own mansions, like the DiAngelos. But just as they moved in Mrs. DiAngelo and their young son Ben decide to go on the river for a ride in their kayak. When a tragedy happens and the kayak sinks. This is when Brady wonders if the kayak sinking was an accident or not. He then soon discovers the truth now he must decide if he should keep it a secret or tell people the truth even though it means he would be hurting his friends and family.

    I really liked this book because right away something exciting was happening. Which I thought was good because I don't like when books start off slow. I also like how there's a twist in the story that you didn't think was going to happen. This makes you want to keep reading to see what happens to Brady and his friends. This is a really good book with a good twist to make you keep reading until the end.

    I recommend this book to anyone who likes books that have a twist in them. I also recommend this book to anyone who likes to read shorter books because it’s not long and it doesn’t have big vocabulary words, so it doesn’t take you that long to read and it’s easy to understand. I would give this book an eight out of ten.
