During those weeks the family repairs the house and tries to go on with their lives, but it's very hard because the shock of Jane’s accident was very big. Then Jane meets Buddy Walker. They fall in love with each other. For the first time since the devastating in her house, she is happy again. But after a while she gets the feeling something's wrong with Buddy. One night she sees him with a bottle of alcoholic drink. Buddy admits that he has a drinking problem and he promises her that he'll try to stop. But Jane still feels like there's something wrong with Buddy: she can't talk about the devastation with him and he doesn't want to meet Jane’s parents.

He thinks he's the Avenger, an 11 years old boy who avenges injustices. He says he's going to kill her, because she kissed Buddy Walker. Jane doesn't understand what is wrong with kissing Buddy, but then he tells her Buddy is one of the criminals who destroyed her house.

Then he is so confused that he commits suicide. The police comes and frees Jane. She tells Buddy she never wants to see him again. Jane goes on with her live and has a good life.

My opinion

I think the book was really nice. It was easy to read, but not in a childish way. The story was also very clear, there was nothing I didn't understand. The only thing I didn't like, was that the beginning was a bit long, the writer mentioned every detail, but at the end of the book, I went very quickly.
