What's Your Problem

I have recently finished reading a book called ' What's Your Problem'. The book was written by Balai Rai and was part of the quick read collection. The quick read collection is short books that have many fantastic storylines.

The book had text that was easy to read and understand. The storyline kept you hooked from the very first page. This was a book that i thoroughy enjoyed reading.

The book was all about Jaspel. Jaspel aand his parents bought a corner shop and moved to a small village where they were the only Asian family for miles around. Jaspel's father thought that they would have no trouble in the new shop because not all people are racist, he was soon to be proved wrong. The trouble for Jaspel and his family all started with Jaspel being picked on at school, then the family started to recieve death threats through the post. As the story goes on you learn more and more about the awful things which this family had to go through. Jaspel left for school one morning but something awful was to happen back home, but what? I would recommend that you read this book it is a fantastic story to read.

I would give this story a rating of four it was a fantastic story that covers an everyday problem. Racism can lead to terrible consequences. Happy reading.
