I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It took my on a whirlwind with the main character Dan. Just as he was asking himself if someone was really trying to kill him or if he was simply jumping to conclusions, I was wondering the same thing. I enjoyed trying to guess who the killer was. I also believe that

children would be able to relate to Dan in that when there is a big event going on in the family, the wedding, it can sometimes be hard to get people to listen to you. I highly reccommend it.

“The View from the Cherry Tree,” is a very suspenseful thriller about a boy who witnesses a murder, but no one believes him. The murderer, however, knows that Rob saw him, so in turn is now out to kill him. At times there seemed to be some discontinuity in the plot, but the main ideas are

understood. The ending seems to come rather fast with some questions not completely answered. Children could relate to the feeling of having no one listen to you when you really have something important to tell. The careful descriptions really bring to life the setting from Rob’s view in the cherry tree.
