The Saturday Boy #2

The book is mainly about a kid named Derek. This kids father was put in Afghanistan because he was a pilot and Derek and his father really don't see each other. So his father tries to keep close with Derek by writing letters to him. But either way Derek still gets himself in trouble with violence. He also gets bullied in school and he does some not so good things and he doesn't do the things that he use to do when he was younger.

I think that the theme of the book is that some the kids are just like not paid attention to because the book Derek's dad is in war and his mom works a lot. But also it is rough for them to because they might have other problems like in the school. Because some kids might have problems somewhere else but parents probably don't have time to do anything about it.
