Plot
Johnny
Milton aka spud is a normal fourteen-year-old boy who has been selected for a
scholarship at a very expensive private school in South Africa. Where he meets
his roommates/best buddies (Rambo, Mad dog, Henry, Simon Boggo, and Vern) for
the rest of his school life. Together these seven teen-age boys form the crazy
seven.
So
together the Crazy seven endure life’s hardships in school and the party when
they are over. Together they all survive the first year of high school but their
high school career has only just begun.
Christian perspective
This book is not written from a christian
perspective. But definitely contains some christian values and believes for
example, the school they go to is a christian school and on campus there is a
chapel which they attend every sunday and wednesday. But that does not mean
they do everything in a Christ like way. They are fourteen-year-old boys and
they get into a lot of mischief.
My
thoughts
The book was a very good. It was full of action and humor
and I would definitely recommend it to boys that like humor and adventure in a book.
I would have liked to read about some of the adventures, or mischief as you put it, that the crazy 7 were a part of.
