LitPick Review
In Delta Legend by Kellan OConnell, Oakland teen Calvin gets into some trouble so his mom sends him to northern California to live with his great uncle. When he gets there, his uncle puts him to work fixing up boats to keep him busy. The place he's at is a small riverside fishing town. Will he adjust to this new life?
Opinion:
As a new reviewer, this was a great first read and I really enjoyed the process of reading and reviewing Delta Legend. It was an electrifying read and a struggle to put down. Calvins experience in the small town teaches him such a good lesson that I believe that many youth could use this lesson to better improve their behavior, and as a reader I enjoyed learning about the environmental problems such as the river systems in California. The book's themes are timeless; I would recommend this book to readers ten generations from now. Kellan O'Connell did a fantastic job researching the background information as well reaching out to teens.
