Pay Attention, Carter Jones

 Pay Attention, Carter Jones

Pay Attention, Carter Jones is about a butler coming to Carter Jone's house one day. The Butler helps out while Carter's family face many problems like:

• Carter's dad not coming back to America after he meets another family in Germany
• Having to get through 2nd, 4th, 5th, and 6th grade with only a mom (Carter is in 6th grade, his sisters are in the other grades)

 The Butler gets Carter and his friend, Billy, into cricket and over time the 8th grade cross country/football team also fall in love with it. Carter has to survive challenges, can the Butler help him? This book was written by Gary D. Schmidt. I would definitely rate this book a 5 out of 5. This book was just everything that you want in a book. It was funny but sad, and the way that he writes his book just makes it so that you have to stick with Carter to the very end. My favorite person in this book is Carter. He is just so funny and kind and he is just the type of friend you want to have. If you like The Wednesday Wars, Okay for Now, and Just Like That, you will like this book. Have fun reading!
