Son of the mob 2

Written By: Gordan Korman


Vince goes to L.A. to go to film school so he can get as far away from home as he possibly can. Vince is confident that he has left anything to do with his father’s life behind him in New York City. Very quickly Vince figures out he can run but he can not hide from his father’s lifestyle.
This book has a really great beginning, middle and end. At the end of the book, the author, Gordan Korman leaves the reader with unanswered questions begging the reader to think for themselves.

I would recommend this book to boys and girls 12-14. Although, just like in the first book, ‘Son of the Mob 1’ this sequel will probably appeal more to boys because the main character is a boy and the whole story is written from a male point of view.
You can find this book at chapter, Kidsbooks and our own Vancouver Talmud Torah library.

Genre: Mystery, fiction and action.

Son of the mob

Written by: Gordon Korman
Vince’s dad, Anthony Luca, is the king of mobs in New York. Vince is a boy just like you and me, he goes to high school, he has family and friends and most of all he has his own way of thinking. The mob business a.k.a the vending machine business is not Vince’s dad’s job, it’s his life. The only problem is everywhere Vince goes it seems that something from his dads chosen lifestyle keeps on interfering.

I’d recommend this book to boys and girls age 10-14. Although it might appeal to boys more because the main character is a boy. You can find this book at chapters, Kids books and our own library.

Genre: Mystery, fiction and action.

benefits of primary sources

Primary sources are first hand, personal, and written by the original person.

If you want to know what the persons personality was/is like, you can use a journal or diary they wrote, which to me is a lot easier than going onto a website which might not have the right information.
