The Silent Boy

By Lois Lowry

This book is about a girl named Katy Thatcher, who was growing up on a farm in the early 1900's. One day her and her father went to a farm to pick up a girl who was going work for them. At the farm, Katy met the girls brother, Jacob, who never talked and only worked on his family's farm. As katy grows up, she starts to get to know Jacob and his family. I liked this book a lot because the characters were very unique and interesting and I liked how it was written. I also really liked the perspective of the story.
