ASK QUESTIONS: Some questions I have is what time this book takes place. It doesn't seem like its in the future but more in the past, maybe around the 90's or late 80's. Another question I have is where does this take place. It was told that it was a little forest like but not a rain forest. I think it might be a bigger town that is located in maybe Tennessee or Indiana.

The predictions I have for this book is that the older brother (George) will become a professional boxer and will live a good life. Another prediction I have is that the younger brother (Monty) might grow up to work as a boxing trainer

Monty(the younger brother) Is hanging out with Nat to do some work but he ends up getting drunk and super sick after Nat offers him alcohol. Mont stays very sick and is unable to go to school. His mother finds out and Nat leaves the apartment building.

SETTING: A half urban, half foresty town

GENRE: This book is a sports and action/adventure. This is shown because there are parts with fighting, boxing, and 1 death. The sport is shown in the beginning of the book when the kid is boxing with his dad and a few pages later when the kid is boxing with his little brother.

The Story so far is about a kid punching his dad. His dad is trying to teach him how to box. The Kid rides his bike and follows his dad to work to help out in any way. It fast forwards 5 years and the dad has died.

The book starts out with this dad teaching his son how to box.

The dad then dies about something and the kid doesn't know what to do.

It fast forwards 5 or so years in the future and him and his little brother go to see there dads grave in the graveyard
