Boy On Hold by JD Spero – Review by Samantha Bassett

Boy on Hold by J.D. Spero
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book was my first by J. D. Spero and I look forward to more. It is a story about a 7 year old boy who just wants to catch a hedgehog to keep as a pet. Henry, or Hen as everyone calls him, sees a serious attack on his friend and neighbor Miss Sally, and then tries to figure out what is going on in his little world.

This begins a scary time for the whole family, Tyler, the big brother with some mental health issues, and his mom Marcella.

Marcella Trout doesn’t know what to do, her seventeen-year-old son has been arrested and she can’t help but worry that his recent mood swings are something more serious.
I love Hen, and the relationship he has with his brother is very heartwarming. This story really moves along nicely and becomes more than you thought it would with every turn of a page.
