This story's genre is drama. A main character of this story is Stuart who is seventeen-years-old and a high school student. This story is about Stuart who doesn't have money.He didn't have a motorbike, so he wanted a motorbike but he couldn't buy. Because he didn't have enough money to buy. All his mates started work immediately, but he wanted to work. He met a stranger,Frank, and he find many money at an empty old house. And he escape out of the house before Frank find the thing that he got money. And then He bought a motorbike with the money at a garage. Frank who was running after Stuart with a knife was caught by policemen. I don't have a favorite character in this story. My favorite part is Stuart bought a motorbike with money that he got at an empty old house, and he rode on it. Because the thing is very bad but the thing make feel refreshed. The book was so-so. I would recommend this book to anyone who want to read a easy book.

Are you interested in riding a motorbike?
Yes! I wanna ride on it and feel wind.

The story was very simple. The boy robbed money, and he escaped, but fainally he was arrested. There were no impression. The dramatical story is better for me.
