On My Honor

This book made me cry but also as a child it made me realize I was not invisible. Whenever I was considering doing something stupid and dangerous this book came to mind. It was kind of like my good fairy sitting on my shoulder. To this day at the age of thirty-two I think of this book even though it's been over 20 years since I read this.

This book blew me away. Talk about a heartbreaker. Two boys lie to their parents, telling them they are going to ride their bikes up to a park when they fully intend to do something they've been forbidden to do. One boy doesn't come home. Newbery Honor.
