The Boy on the porch by Sharon Creech.

A book review by Eva

Are you fed up with boring books? The Boy on the porch is all about a boy (Jacob) appearing on John and Marta’s porch and they end up becoming a strange family. John and Marta begin to love Jacob but they are not sure that Jacob loves them. This book is great, amazing and interesting. The main character is Jacob, John and Marta. The thing I like best about this book is when John and Marta find Jacob and they treat him like their own child. My favourite part is when john buys Jacob paint, a guitar and jelly beans. There are some twists to keep you very interceded. I find the plot interesting because as soon as Marta and john get so attached to Jacob something strange happens.
