Review #1:


The main character, Palmer, finds a pigeon and where he lives people kill pigeons. He tries to keep it safe in his house from his friends and town people. Where Palmer lives, there is a holiday where people shoot pigeons and he is nervous for his pet.

I gave this book five stars because it was interesting because you didn't know what was going to happen in thenext chapter. I wondered if people in Palmer's town would stop killing pigeons or not.

I gave this book three stars because it is a good book but it wasn't very awesome in general.
