Even though this book was sad, I still enjoyed it for its lesson.

I think on my honor is a good book,but it is also sad.It was about two boys,Tony and Joel was taking a bike ride to starve rock,but someone was missing.Who was missing, you should read on my honor.
its a good book kind of heartbreaking in the middle of the story.its about two boys that they take a bike ride to starved rock ,Tony gives a dare to Joel about swimming in the river.You should read it.
My Teacher read this book to me and i loved it!
On my honor is a very good book,yet sad.It is about two best friends ,Tony a daredevil and Joel a good boy until a sunny day turned to a sad day both went to the river and only one returned:Joel .Tony was missing ,the police came and Joel had to tell.
The book On My Honor is a wonderful, yet sad book. It is about 2 boys, Tony and Joel. Tony is more of a dare devil than Joel. Tony really wants to go ride his bike to the mountain so Joel convenses his dad to let him go. On there way there they pass a bridge, Tony says they should take a swim instead of riding to the mountain. Tony jumps right in and then Joel finally gets in. Tony dares Joel to try to beat him at swimming. They start swimming and all the sudden Tony disappers and Joel looks every where in the river. Joel rode his bike back home and didnt tell anyone about Tony, until finally the police come and he spills the beans.....
Awesome!
Nice review, horsefan!
