What would you do if you found out a secret that changed everything? This is what happened to Brady Parks the made character of the book. This book has a great author, she is Priscilla Cummings, she was Born in 1951. Hobbies and other interests include Reading, playing piano, and taking walks.

The genre of Red Kayak is Young-adult fiction. I think this is a perfect genre for this book. Young adults would love this book because it swears in the book but not as much to where they would have to change the genre to adults. I am a “young adult” and i love this book. Another reason why I love this book is because it is easy to follow along so you will be able to do good on test or quizzes on the book.

Red Kayak has a variety of characters, some of the main characters are, Brady Park- Main Character, enjoys the water, and likes crabbing, Brady 's Dad, Brady 's Mom, Tilly- Brady 's dog, yellow lab, likes to play catch, Carl-Brady 's cousin, paramedic, give Brady rides, J.T. - Brady and digger 's friend, loves technical …show more content…

The setting of this book mainly takes place by the Corsica river in Maryland. Other places of the book consist of Brady 's house, Brady 's school, Mrs. DiAngelos house, and in Brady 's dad 's shed. I think this is a very good choice by the author because maryland is mostly a “southern state” so it is in the country (districts and small settlements outside large towns, cities, or the capital) so there will be many places to hide things.

The Red Kayak is written from the point of view of a thirteen-year-old boy named Brady Parks. Brady is the son of a Chesapeake Bay waterman and his wife, Dee Parks. He loved the Corsica river where he and his family fish for crabs( pg 5). A new family, the DiAngelos move in next door to Brady’s family (pg 23). They are one of the more wealthiest families that moved into the neighborhood. ( pg 17) I think that the Red Kayak is one of the best books i 've read and would recommend it to anyone that

One reason why i like this book is because when he got injured he kept trying to succeed. I like that he kept trying to push himself when he got hurt because he always followed his dream and made it.

This novel was exceptionally peculiar, which made the book nearly impossible to predict and held my attention until the very end. Matthew Quick was able to write a story I could easily relate to because of my passion towards basketball and common hardships teenagers endure. Moreover, frequent scenarios within the novel showed realistic struggles within violence that are very relatable and realistic in the 21st century. For instance, the internal struggles of high schoolers such as jealousy and trying to fit in. On top of this, it was astounding to see all three dynamic characters, Russ, Erin, and Finley develop throughout the story, as all three grew their friendship and learned from one another leaving you breathless.

The novel takes place in the fictional town of Starkfield, Massachusetts, in the winter and most likely during the early 1900s, a time better known as the Progressive Era. The Progressive Era ushered in massive change and innovation in areas like education and transportation. However, this change seems to pass Starkfield by, a town of fairly modest means and nothing too exuberant. Due to poor transportation, the residents of Starkfield could become “stuck” and “trapped” during the harsh winter, as well as the rest of the year in this isolated town. The limited opportunities and lack of choice in Starkfield also hold the characters back, particularly Ethan Frome.
