While this book is a little short to be able to get into the possible depth of the story, it really was interesting and difficult to put down. Since it's more novella length, I stayed up the extra 30 minutes to finish it. The suspense isn't great, as it's somewhat obvious. I enjoyed the characters, but they didn't have enough room to be too well fleshed out. The main character also feels a little bit girl-ized due to the female author perspective, making it maybe slightly more appealing for

Cameron's sister, Katie, asks him to do her a favor. "Just do this one thing," is what she asks, followed by, "Don't tell anyone."
He's not happy to be riding through the woods in the rain, but Katie looked kind of freaked out. When Cameron stops for a moment, he hears something. He listens carefully and hears it again. It sounds like crying. It is crying. In fact, it's a baby!

I would not call this book a novel. I would call it a short story with chapters. It's very simplistic, and the only reason for it to exist is to perhaps stop a teenage mom from hiding a pregnancy or abandoning a newborn. Told from the standpoint of the twin brother of the teenage mom. The kid does all the right things, thank goodness. The sister does not and almost dies, and the baby could have died with one little mistake. It's very didactic, simply written, and might help in some teen in

Cameron is used to the way things are. He's the screw up and his sister Katie is the perfect one. Then something happens that upsets everything Cameron is used to. He finds a baby abandoned in the woods, and saves its life. Cam is a hero, but he hasn't told the whole truth. Katie told him where to go to find the baby. How did she know it would be there? This quick read from Orca Soundings is a pretty gripping read. Will Cameron choose to save the day, or take the easy road and ignore what he kno

This was more of a short story from the perspective of a twin brother who is forced into a secret that his sister is at the head of. Cameron isn't the perfect twin and his sister has always been...but in the two days that this book covers he discovers that keeping someone on a pedistal isn't the best thing to do. This book is about the uncomfortable topic of mothers abandoning babies after labor. The book took me a little over a half hour to read...very short!!!

This is an excellent quick read that deals with the very popular topic of teen girls abandoning their newborns. Cameron's "perfect" twin sister begs him to go to the woods. Once there he finds a baby dumped among the leaves and debris. The remainder of the book deals with Cameron comint to terms with the fact that his sister may have abandoned the baby and also with fact that his sister is not as perfect as she seems.

A good premise and an interesting topic for a young adult novel... except this barely registers as a short story. Many topics are barely touched upon, and while it does give some useful information for a pregnant teen (or someone who knows one) the characters feel more like spokespersons for the author's POV than actual people with a life outside of the story's scope.

You know those books that fall off the shelf when you pull out the one next to it, so you thumb through it for a minute and an hour later realize you've read the whole thing? This is one of those books.
Might be good for reluctant reader girls who want pregnancy-related drama, though. Orca Soundings, so you know it's a quick read.

Hi-Lo Book. This was one of my favorite books for this class. Cameron discovers a new born infant in the woods. He searches for answers to try to find out if the baby belongs to his twin sister and if it the baby does, why would she abandon her baby. A very heart felt story. A Must Read. I highly recommend this book.

This story is very interesting but very short. A mixture of mystery and drama making you twitch for what is going to happen next. I could imagine the scene in my head too.

Story about a teen boy who finds a baby in the woods. Not a lot of surprises, but it is pretty fast paced. Good for reluctant teen readers.
