I just finished the book The Juvie Three by Gordon Korman. Its about these 3 guys who all have gone to jail for something. Gecko Fosse drove the getaway car. Terence Florian ran with the worst gang in Chicago. Arjay Moran killed someone...(read the book 2 the get the whole thing down) all these boys are serving time in juvenile detention until they get a second chance from Douglas Healy. Who at their age was just like them, a juvenile delinquent. Mr. Healy is running an experimental halfway house in New York City, where he wants to make a difference in the lifes of these 3 kids. Things go well until one night Mr.Healy is accidentally knocked unconscious while trying to stop a fight between Gecko, Terence, and Arjay. Scared of the consequences, they drop him off at a hospital and run! But once Mr. Healy wakes up he has no memory of them, his life, or the halfway house! Afraid of being sent back to jail the guys hatch a crazy plan to continue on as if their group leader was still with them. They go to school, community service, therapy, and act like good normal citizens until Mr. Healy's memory returns and then come back to live with them. But life keeps getting in the way like when Gecko finds romance, Arjay gets famous, and Terence goes back to his dumb life old ways. And the woman from Social Services won't give until she finds a way to send them back to jail! If the boys are found out...their second chance may be their last! I really liked this book. It shows a different kind of life...there is action that makes your heart beat and makes you wonder,"What the heck will they do next?!" Then you got luck, love, and some poor choices. I really liked it..some may not but this book is good! Go get this book, it teaches you something...but I wouldn't say these guys are good role modals but I do love this book! :)
