      Ethan grew up with close gang ties and multiple thefts and arrests. Since moving to a new foster home with a strict but loving family, however, he has tried to straighten up. He no longer hangs out with his old friends and he has become enthusiastically involved in a summer youth program taking pictures of hawks. Because of this, he is surprised when he is attacked multiple times. It slowly becomes clear that whoever is attacking him wants his camera. Now Ethan must figure out who wants his camera and why before they succeed in killing him. Although the overall plot of Picture This is interesting, it comes out as a series of mildly exciting events with nothing in between. It is written in the first person with Ethan conversationally narrating the story. Despite a constant description of his thoughts and feelings, Ethan still has little range of emotion, even when he is attacked. Picture This is a quick, easy read, but it lacks the suspense and believability necessary for a hi-lo book. It is appropriate for children in grades eight through twelve that do not have strong reading skills. It is recommended for the young adult section of a public library.
    • 4/5
      This is a very fast read about a boy, Ethan, who is turning his life around. He was involved with gangs in the past, but has stopped associating with them, and is now happily involved in a program for kids at risk called Picture This. While taking photographs for aPicture This assignment, he unknowingly captures a photograph that will end up endangering his life! This fast paced, easy novel will be perfect for middle school reluctant readers, especially boys, who have an interest in photography.
