The book I had read for my Independent Reading is called Tyrell by Booth. The setting takes place in present day New York. The main character in Tyrell would be Tyrell. The central conflict in this novel would be family problems. The central theme of the novel would be ''Be your own person and don't follow in your parents foot steps". That would be the theme because kids try and grow up to be just like their parents and all they need to do is be their own person and try to be better than their parents.

Tyrell father was imprisoned for getting caught selling illegal drugs at a party he threw. When Tyrell family is inneed of money he gets a job instead of having wild drug parties like is father. Another example is Tyrell always had made sure his that his little brother was feed, bathe and loved he taught him wrong from right. These are two examples represented by the central theme. Tyrell always did the right thing, he was his own person and didn't follow in his parents footsteps.

I would recommend this book to high school students because its a good book that tells about how a young man is faced with many problems.It tells why kids should be better than their parents .This book wouldn't be a good book for middle school students beacuse it has some sexual parts and bad language.If I could change anything it would be that Tyrell little brother Troy wouldn't have been put in foster care and their mom wouldn't end up in jail.
